Customer Reviews

For our little star gazer
My son is an amatuer star-gazer. He has a large (rather expensive) telescope and goes up into the mountains away from city lights to view astrological phenominon. His six year old daughter goes with him, and we wanted her to have her own telescope.

This telescope was just what we were looking for! It is a appropriate for a six year old, and will offer her years of fun and astro-learning.

Disappointing
I bought this for my 5 year old on the basis of an earlier review. I was very disappointed. The product looked very cheap. After I had gotten it, I saw other telescopes for the same price that looked much less like a toy. The tripod is very short and has to be sat on a table or desk to be useful. I would not recommend it if you are looking for a sturdy beginner product rather than just another toy.

Not so great.
You ever been to a birthday party where the kid gets something that needs to be put together? The adult in charge cant seem to get it working fast enough before all the other Einsteins in the room start saying, "Give it to me, I'll fix it"? Well this toy is one of those things, where none of us could see anything out of it, and it just kept being passed around, until no one was left. Now grant it, we are not a buch of rocket scientists, but if the toy is for a child, it shouldnt be that diffucult. None of us could see anything out of it. Heres my son wanting to look into his telescope, and its junk. Thank goodness it was a clear night, I ended up saying, "just look up, you can see the stars" I know he felt cheated, and so did I.
