Webkinz History: A look back at the Webkinz Road Trip

Let’s cruise down memory lane in the coolest van ever!

 
 
As we celebrate 20 Years of Webkinz, we’re taking you down memory lane—in a Webkinz-tastic van! One of the most exciting events in Webkinz history was the Webkinz Road Trip, a cross-country adventure that brought the magic of Webkinz World directly to our amazing fans.
 
 

Back in 2010, we wanted to connect with Webkinz fans beyond the screen. That’s when we packed up our Webkinz van and spent the summer visiting gift stores, state fairs and special events across the United States.

From a real life Wheel of WOW to Hug-A-Pug dance-offs, the Webkinz Road Trips treated our fans and our staff to a wildly fun Webkinz experience complete with exclusive prizes and discounts on plush.
 
 

The Webkinz Road Trip continued into 2011 and 2012 and it was more than just an event—it was a celebration of the Webkinz community. While the official Road Trip has since retired, the memories and the community live on.
 
 
As we mark 20 years of Webkinz, we want to thank all the fans who joined us on this incredible journey—whether at a Road Trip event, in Webkinz Classic, or in Webkinz Next. Your enthusiasm and love for Webkinz are what keep this world so special.

      Me too! It was great. My daughter and I got so many treats: clothing, figurines, stickers, trading cards, and lots of scratch codes for Webkinz Roadtrip vans! It was worth the 2+ hour drive! We loved getting to spin an actual Wheel of Wow!

    That is sooo cool! I hadn’t heard about these events but I would have loved to come – a Webkinz road trip sounds like a ton of fun! Can I ask if the van itself is still around? Does it still have the Webkinz paint job? The graphics on it look amazing!
