The Scientific Interactive Planetarium is a great learning tool. My 3 1/2 year old was fascinated with the one at her daycare so I tried to find one similar. This was a great find for the price. She can tell me how many moons a certain planet has. This is something she will continue to use for the next few years.

This review is from: Scientific INTERACTIVE PLANETARIUM (WITH TRY ME) (Toy)

This toy is very educational and includes a lot of information about space. Unfortunately, it's not very durable. It was treated with care, but the electronic board has obviously gone kaput because you can only turn it on now with the reset button. And after you do that, none of the buttons respond at all. If you push the ON/OFF button, it tells you it's turning off. Not a whole lot of fun or education.

I wrote to the company, Scientific Toys, and they told me to take it back to the store. I wrote again and said it had been past 30 days and asked if they could help me. No response. I wrote again and got no response. I wrote one final time and said that I would like to be able to leave a good review on Amazon about their company and product, and that I would wait a few days to hear from them before posting a review. That was about 2 weeks ago.

So I wouldn't buy this product (pretty expensive for something that doesn't work at all!) or any product from this company since they don't stand behind it. They just ignore you.

Too bad.

Great product aside from the fact that the computer voice has an accent (British I think) which is a little annoying because my 4 year old tries to mimic it. Probably an attempt at sounding more scientific which is even more funny with temperature in °F instead of °C.
