Thames & Kosmos Telescope, Children Ages 8+

Wonderful! It's simple to set up, sturdy enough for excited kids, and just the right level of “wow” to spark curiosity without frustration. More than just a toy, it's a doorway to imagination and a quiet reminder that even the smallest explorers can reach for the stars.

This telescope is a great choice for kids! The material is good quality and feels sturdy. It was easy to set up, and everything came nicely packaged. The view is clear, and my child really enjoys using it to look at the moon and stars. It's a fun and educational toy that keeps them interested in science and space. Overall, I highly recommend it — great value and an excellent experience for beginners!

We bought this for my son for Christmas and he loves this. It was a great decision. It was not hard to assemble. All items came in the box if it was worth the money just to see a smile on my face if your child likes a strong we bought this for my son for Christmas and he loves this. It was a great decision. It was not hard to assemble. All items came in the box . it was worth every penny I would purchase it again.

I brought this for my son's birthday as a gift since he has a solar system fascination! The Assembly took a little long, wish it could've come with video instructions, but overall it was ease of use

My grandson asked for a telescope for Christmas. Since he's only 10, I opted for this one due to the price point (under $50). Unfortunately, it is very small (needs a desktop/elevated surface) and required assembly such as lens insertion/calibration beyond his abilities. He was happy to receive it but I didn't feel it was worth what I paid. I will probably purchase a better quality option for him in the future.

The telescope looks fine and even feels average in quality. But the optics are garbage and the pieces fall apart every time you make small adjustments. It's absolutely not worth it!! Especially for someone learning how to look at the stars and space. Sure you can find the moon… 😳but it's pretty hard for a youngster to operate otherwise. I guess it's ok for little guys to play with as a “toy” if you don't mind spending that much on a “finder”. But I wouldn't call it a very good telescope.

We were really really looking forward to be able to see the stars with the telescope. However, the lenses and the way they are exchange were done and it was hard to put it back to its normal place. I wouldn't recommend this. I do believe there is others with better quality.

my dislike about this item was when you go to look through the telescope you can't see anything out of it, I'm assuming that whoever assembled it did something wrong

Quite literally sucks . Can't see anything we messed around and tried many different things to make it work , my son was super excited about this for Christmas and it was definitely a waste of time and money

I only ordered one and you sent me 2 and changed my account for 2 I'm very disappointed in Walmart I will definitely never order anything from you again
