Family fun!
on September 22, 2026
Posted by: JordanT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was such a fun thing for the whole family! The visuals were decent, and there are storage spots for the lenses which makes it really easy to keep all together. It’s very light weight, making it very easy to move where we wanted it. It did take a bit of time to figure out how to work it, and we still haven’t figured all of it out yet but are working on it!

Hard to actually see anything. Definitely not plug and play

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every little girl scientist wants her own microscope at home. This set came out with lots of tricks and even a mobile phone holder to record your viewings. I loved the premade slides with labels. I think this is helpful for up-and-coming scientists. I loved the option of having a collection kit as well as magnifying glasses and a dropper to make putting things under the microscope very accessible for a young learner. The trouble I had with this microscope was it was very very hard to see anything. We changed a lot of the settings and lighting and make sure the slides were in view but never really got a good view of what the microscope was trying to help us see. I’m not sure if this is a unique error on our microscope. But it made viewing very un-fun and unproductive. In my mind, this should be as easy as turning on the light, loading the slide and seeing through the oculus. But it wasn’t. Even after troubleshooting through the manual and with some online help- we were still unable to see anything.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The universalfun 70mm HD Refractor Telescope gets impressive view of the Moon, the craters and the stars.
The setup is very easy with containing multiple eyepieces, moon filter and phone adapter.

Really cool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a cool telescope.
My kids are really enjoying it a lot.
They were able to look at the Moon the other night whenever it was very visible.
It comes with different lenses and it has the capability of a lot of different settings.
It comes with the tripod and is easy to assemble for the kids.
Overall, it's a really cool telescope

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My girls were super excited to set this up and give it a try! It comes together really easily and is so much fun to use at night and explore the night sky with!! It’s lightweight so they are able to maneuver it around themselves.

And OK telescope for getting started
on August 30, 2026
Posted by: AdamF
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This telescope is extremely light to the point of almost feeling fragile. It was mostly simple to assemble and my 12-year-old son was able to do it with no issue. The lens is not great but to be expected for the price and it does magnify and you can see the moon. The swappable 60 X and 30 X lenses are nice and the tinted filter for the sun is neat though difficult to use and lineup.

Overall a cool microscope
on August 30, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a cool microscope. I have kids aged 6, 10, 12 and 14 , the machine says 6+ and though my youngest was most excited for it I think he was a little young to use it properly. There are a lot of unlabeled pieces he didn't know what to do with, so I then had to read through the whole instructions to figure it out. This is a definitely not an independent toy. It needs 2 AA batteries that aren't included which also created a problem. Other than that it is a quality machine and comes with plenty of slide specimens to keep them busy. My son also had fun finding other things he wanted to look at.

Great for young, scientific minds
on August 28, 2026
Posted by: AbbeyP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microscope came well packaged and with adequate instructions. My 6 year old LOVES it! It comes with a few pre mounted slides and extra slides to mount yourself. Took off one star because the material does feel a bit cheap. If you have a scientific minded child I think they will really enjoy this.
