Hi,
I was expecting the planets to move electronically. But all in all I was pleased with the set-up. It was bought for a Christmas present for my 7 year old grand daughter.
Also I liked the star displays it projected to the ceiling, but to get the whole picture the planetarium would have to be in the center of the room. This is not a possibility in her small room.
Thank you for an opportunity to review this product.

I too thought that the planets would revolve around the sun...but they do not revolve automatically. The other review is also correct in that it really needs to be placed in the middle of the room for the star viewing. Basically this is a toy that takes up a conciderable amount of space on a shelf. There is a booklet that goes with it and tells a little about each planet. But it is not something that I would call "fun". My daughter loves science, but this toy just didn't draw her attention.

Oh, and the little balls just sit loosely on the wires. One of them fell off and I can't find it. I tried to call the phone number in the booklet...but it says that number is no longer in service??? Does anyone have a phone number that works? Please post it if you do. Thanks.

Bought this for my 8-year old who has a keen interest in stars and planets, it was fun but difficult for a child to put together and fun/interesting to look at and play with for 5 minutes but after that, the interest is seriously limited. Not sure I'd recommend it.

Awesome planetarium! Teaches kids about the solar system and the stars with excellent visual aids!
