THIS IS PRETTY MUCH A TERRIBLE PRODUCT. VERY CHEAP AND THE MICROSCOPE HAS ZERO VISIBILTY AND FOCUS.

This telescope did not work at all, my daughter was so disappointed. You could not see anything at all and the instructions are useless. How about they sell a product that may cost a little more but actually works. We feel like we got ripped off. The worst part is that the kids are so excited to get this item and then it doesn't work. Either make a good one or don't sell the item.

I got this for my 7 year-old grandson for Christmas. He wanted a tele-scope and para-scope. I couldn't believe it when I found both in one package at such a low price. He was so excited to open it and it looked so cool. He thanked me over and over. I don't know if it worked very well. I don't think it did but the excitement factor was so big that at his age I think that mattered more than whether he could actually see things with them. I know he did "experiments" and the last I heard he was waiting for a clear night to look at the moon. I don't think he was disappointed in the quality even if I was but what the heck. I think we got our money's worth.
