We went out to a near by observatory and my kid was hooked. This telescope is more than a mere toy. You can actually see detail in the moon with this and it is super easy to set up and take down. My kid absolutely loves it and I am so happy he is taking an interest in the stars.

My son wanted this for a trip. We put it together and used. No instructions but wasn’t too difficult to figure out.
Once together it was hard to see anything. The tripod was so small you would have to lay on the ground or set on a table so we didn’t use that.
