Bought this for my son’s 8th birthday and he’s barely put it down. We set it up in the back garden on a clear evening and he spotted the craters on the Moon within about two minutes, shouting for his sister to come and look. He’s now asked for a book on planets and wants to stay up past bedtime ‘for science’. Easy for him to adjust on his own too, which I was pleased about.
Norman Pickering –
got this for our granddaughter and her smile when she saw the Moon up close was a picture. Lovely little thing. Spot on.

Ordered again from here, as I do every Christmas, and it arrived well before the big day. The telescope is sturdy and the lad loves it. Only small niggle is that the tripod is a touch wobbly if you knock it, but it’s fine once you get used to being gentle. Good value for what it is.

The Junior Telescope is quite fun, but it arrived a week late which was a bit inconvenient. Also, the instructions were only in German, which was odd. My kid still enjoys it but these things did throw us off initially.
Sarah Brown –
Bought the Junior Telescope for my niece. She spent hours checking out the stars in excitement. Good product, though it could be a tad sturdier. Otherwise, it’s a hit!
Tom Harris –
Got this telescope for my boy’s birthday, and he’s been thrilled. He even brings it to school for show and tell. Would have liked a bit more clarity, but it works great for his age.

This is the third time I’ve bought from science-gifts.co.uk, and they’re always pretty solid. My daughter’s really gotten into stargazing lately. Only wish it came with a case!
Emma Clarke –
Decided to surprise my little one with this telescope. It’s been a rewarding journey watching her get fascinated by the night sky. Slightly bulkier than expected, but manageable.

this telescope was just what we needed to pique our grandson’s interest in astronomy. he was over the moon, literally! wish the lenses were a bit easier to clean though.

bought this for my grandson’s 8th birthday and he hasn’t stopped talking about it. We set it up in the garden on a clear evening and he spotted the moon’s craters straight away, then wanted to stay out past bedtime to look for more. He’s already asked for a book about planets, so a cracking gift all round.

Spot on for the price. Light enough to carry about and simple to focus.
