I wish I could give this product good ratings. My kids were so excited to get them,and we took them camping. There is a really great wide stream near the campground that is a favorite exploring place and I thought these would be good for that. Well, the little light is a waste, it didn't illuminate enough to see anything, and when it got wet it quit working. The kids were careful to not murk up the water, and still you couldn't see. They wound up wearing their swim goggles and putting their faces in the water and that worked much better. As for the telescope part, you could get a decent kids pair of binoculars for about the price of this. Maybe my kids were too old (7 and 9) and we expected too much from this, it might be good for little kids to pretend with (telescope) and introduce to the underwater world with.

Our 4 year old son had a broken arm when we recently went on a trip to Hawaii. This toy was great, he could play in the water without getting his arm wet. Our older son, age 10, loved it to look into the tide pools.

I read the reviews and bought anyway. Well reviews on this are correct. I bought this for my granddaughter for a trip to Florida. We took this with us for first trip to the beach and did not bring back. Unless water is completely still it is impossible to hold and focus in the water.You could not see fish,shells, anything that I had hoped we could.OK as a toy for younger children to carry around. Therefore a less expensive version would suffice.

Great idea, poor execution. Very difficult to see a thing and keep it in focus, and the lighting function for underwater, which is why I bought it, doesn't really work unless you're in pretty clear water.

The optics on this toy leave much to be desired. It's a good argument for buying toys of this type in a store where you can try them out first.

This just does not work. We wanted to use it so anyone of any age could watch the fish in our very clear water pond but it is not really worth it. Sounded like a great concept but very cheaply produced.

I thought this would be a perfect gift for my 5 year old son's birthday. However, it really doesn't work the way it described or pictured. Its a toy, not a waterproofed scope. The lenses leak which then blurrs and distorts vision every time. You can not see anything through it. The magnifications don't work well together either which adds to the distorted vision. He enjoyed it somewhat, but was disappointed that it didn't work.

We opened it on vacation in Jamaica and threw the box out which is why I didn't attempt to return it. Great Idea, but doesn't perform.

We had high hopes for this toys as my son loves to play outside, wade in local streams/creeks and loves anything animal related. We thought he could use this to see the animal life in the creek in our back yard, however it is difficult to even see in the bathtub. Using the toy without the magnifier is a little better but still not great. A cute novelty but wouldn't buy again.
