Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I got this for my 9th birthday and you can see the temp indoors and outdoors. you can show how fast the wind is going. It can also show which way the wind is going. I loved the toy and liked putting eveything together.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice for budding scientists, May 27, 2003

By A Customer

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

My son got this for his 7th birthday. He loves everything having to do with science. There are a few different ways you can configure the components of the weather station - including temperature, wind direction, wind speed, rain gauge, etc. - but we have yet to find a way to connect EVERYTHING at the same time. It would be perfect if there was a way to attach all the devices at once. Also, the instructions state there are 7 connectors but there were only 6 in the plastic package.

1.0 out of 5 stars A joke, November 2, 2004

By	T. Zaborowski - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The only thing good about this is the rain gage. If you leave it outside like you're supposed to, the wind blows it across the yard. The plastic is not durable and parts fall off easily. We have it on our deck outside our door and are always looking for it when the storm is done. Definitely not worth the $20.
