Great quality toy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great quality product like all leapfrog brand toys very educational. My son is 8 and is on the taller size for his age and more mature and found this toy telescope to be more on the younger side of the age range. My younger nephew loves it and he is 6. The toy is easy to put together and simple instructions to follow and use.

Not the most engaging
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 7 year daughter has used this telescope briefly. I would use the term telescope loosely as it does not work well for viewing the sky at night in an urban setting. The range is limited and seeing on a screen doesn't help. The biggest value this telescope brings is the digital screen which has different learning programs and games on it. However, the screen is not very large, and I feel that most of what it does could be found on a larger tablet. Overall, the telescope does a number of things, ie take pictures, see at a distance, play games, visually learn, but it doesn't do any of them overly well. It'd be an item to get a young child interested in space and telescopes, but in our house hasnt had long useage.

Great gift for kids!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is way more fun than a normal telescope for children! We love the photo feature with zoom and all the interactive options. Easy to set up, user friendly and such a great way to get them excited and involved in learning about the solar system.

Interactive kids telescope
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Magic Adventures Leap Frog interactive telescope is a very educational play set that my children really enjoyed. It has a magnification of 110x which is nice as a beginner telescope. It's not scientific grade but it does zoom in to a nice closeness for children to experience. Easy to assemble and easy to use. The monitor that has all the video stuff easily connects to the three leg tripod. Stance is sturdy enough, although it is short but tall enough for young heigth. It has 20 cards that has additional facts and information. Monitor acts as a camera and shows you magnification, along with games and videos. Allows pictures to be saved and shared.

Looks cool, works ok
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this *looks* like a legitimate telescope but looking at stars and the moon... we didn't get a lot of details. The trivia game on it is WELL loved by my 9yo. He plays that all the time! It does require batteries and is easy for my 6yo to focus once set up. The legs don't fold up for easy storage so once it's set up you have to have a spot to keep it. All in all, I think if you want a real telescope view you have to invest in a real one, but this is great for younger kids who want the experience and who like trivia games.

Great entry telescope
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Interactive telescope great for all ages. Incorporates fun activities that get my son interested in space and beyond. Telescope is very entry level and quality is decent for what it is. Wouldn't purchase just for the telescope through.

Very fun, Kids loved it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very fun way to get kids into astronomy. My kids (6 & 9) have enjoyed playing with this and checking out the moon. There is also a game that they have had fun playing. From an adult perspective, I think it is a great idea and mostly done well. It is a little difficult to adjust and settle in on a precise location and the quality of the LCD is a little lacking. However, you are able to take photos and this is a cool added feature. Overall, I can forgive the shortcomings as this telescope definitely invigorated my children's interest in the cosmos.

My son LOVES it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has so many features for my 4.5 year old to explore. He wanted a telescope like older sister (10) but cannot be trusted with a nicer piece of equipment. But this just has way more to keep his interest, PLUS it works like a real telescope. They love getting outside side by side with them both to see what is out in the night sky. This is a great purchase that goes way beyond just a toy - it's a learning experience. I highly recommend!
