Q: what is the magnification?
submitted by afitz - 4 years ago
A: The GeoSafari Jr. My First Telescope has a magnification up to 9x. This magnification will provide fantastic views of the moon, while keeping the field of vision wide, which is essential for young children's understanding of magnified views.

This telescope is not Functional. We ended up buying 2 because we thought we might have just gotten a bad one, but neither of them worked. Cute decoration, but definitely not worth the money when you thought you were getting an actual toy.

Fragile and small

While the telescope part works, the whole thing is very small and fragile. You have to prop it on a small table for a toddler/preschool sized kid to look through while standing. I didn’t think I’d have to haul out a small table into the yard to look at the stars. Also one of the legs easily snapped in half with typical kid use..luckily could superglue it together but it’s a bit lopsided now.

Disappointed - 5 years ago
Got this for daughter for early Christmas shopping as well. Wasn’t expecting top notch quality for $30 but my goodness you can’t even see a single thing out of this. As another reviewer mentioned it is completely black even with the lense cap off, you literally cannot see anything. Doesn’t matter how much we try to tweak it. The eyepiece section came right out as well, not screwed in or secured in any way, just fell right out on my face while I was trying to test it outside. (Hurt pretty bad btw) This thing is total garbage. Very disappointing my daughter was so excited to use it and has been trying desperately to make it work.
Absolute Garbage!

I had hoped this would be a great introductory telescope for my 4 year old. My hopes were destroyed once I opened the box. It is completely useless and an absolute piece of garbage. One of the hinges on tripod broke as soon as we set it on the table as it’s made out of cheap plastic. The telescope itself does not have any sight adjustments and the image is blurry and doubled. A total waste of money.

Doesn’t work. Bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she can’t even use it. Looking through the lens all you see is the purple plastic inside. If you move it around a lot then you can see very blurry images you can’t make out. She hasn’t been able to use it since she got it. Very disappointed

Awful cheap product. We bought this in August for my daughter for Christmas (early shopping) and it broke right out of the box. It broke in 3 places within a couple hours. Tried to hot glue the first break but then the other parts broke. Also can’t see out of it. It’s just black. Yes with the cap off. Save your money. Unfortunately the return deadline was two days before Christmas Eve so we have to toss and just wasted $35 on cheap plastic. Normally don’t do reviews much but this was just awful my daughter was super excited to use it tonight.
