Customer Reviews

Fun, but slipshod3
Fun, and a lovely conversation piece--but not only are the proportions approximate at best, but the project is shot through with straight-out inaccuracies. Most strikingly, the astronomical symbols for Saturn and Uranus are reversed!

Also, our copy arrived without the CD-ROM mentioned on the box. Caveat emptor.

Limited3
Toy is a great item for children interested in space and exploration, however the educational value is limited in that the planets do not rotate individually, and the relative sizes of the objects are not accurate. Ends up being just a big nightlight.
