Great for the whole family!

It was a huge hit with the whole family! We were all amazed at the quality of what we could see. I wasn’t sure how much use this thing would get. I was expecting it to get the occasional use but the kids love it and we have been discovering new constellations weekly. Highly recommend! Great way to get the whole family involved in an activity together. Bonus: super compact and easy to store.

Great starter telescope

I can say I was definitely impressed with this telescope. Since it was recommended for 10 years and up I didn’t expect it to be so clear and to be able to see as much as we did. An extra benefit is you are able to take pictures with your smart phone included adapter. Lots of neat features with 2 separate eyepieces and also comes with a convenient travel bag.

Compact

This is my first telescope. I was very impressed with the presentation of the telescope. It has a carrying case with pockets. This makes it very organized and easy to transport. The directions for set up were a little confusing but manageable. Overall, I really like this telescope. Clear images can be seen through the lens.

Well made

This is a well made item and comes with a durable case to keep it safe when it’s not being used. Kids have a great time going into backyard and setting this up to gaze at the stars. Product is easy to put together, lens is clear and kids love to look at the stars, I love the case for safe keeping.

Nice Telescope

Nice telescope that would be perfect for the eclipse coming up this summer. It has a carry bag, two lenses and compacts down very nicely. Includes a guard to be able to use to look at an eclipse. Very nice telescope.

Good starter telescope

The National Geographic 70MM is a good starter telescope for kids. It was easy to set up and my 7 year old and 10 year old nephews enjoyed it. We were able to see the stars in the sky at night clearly. Overall this is a good telescope for kids.

Save your money

Save your money for a better unit. I just returned it to the store an hour ago because the objective lens was out of alignment due to the plastic it is made from. I really hoped it would be a good scope but....
