National Geographic Air Rockets Science Kits

Our kids got these as a Christmas gift to take out when the weather got a little nicer. They had such a fun time shooting them and were surprised by the heights! The fun was even better at night with the glow-in-the-dark. They were easy to spot and retrieve!

My son got this for Christmas and when I tell you he was playing with it for 30 mins straight, I mean it. It takes like 2 mins if that to put together and start playing. The kids are able to set on the blue part and make the arrow fly

Happy with this set. Kids were able to set it up and had fun playing. Quality is better than other rocket kits we’ve had in the past! We haven’t tried it in the dark yet, but so far seems they glow like typical glow in the dark items

These were a lot of fun and a great time filler on Christmas Day waiting for family. We only used it in the day time so we didn’t get a chance to see how well the rockets glow. The rockets went a good distance and the stand is adjustable so you can go for height or distance. However, two rockets lost fins on the first time playing with it. The stand held up but is plastic and not super sturdy so it wouldn’t last too long with rough kids or younger kids. The toddlers did have a great time chasing the rockets though, so with supervision it’s a fun toy for ages 2-12.

Very cool set. My 10 year old was able to read the directions and put it all together herself. The glow in the dark is super cool! We plan on doing it outside at night to see if you can really see it. It launches very high... I recommend not launching it in the house. Lol.

Both of my children love this air rockets. They both take turns jumping on the air pump and they love seeing which one can get their rockets to fly the high highest. We take it to the park and all the kids love taking turns.

We gave this to my twin 9year old boys for Christmas. They’re so excited to launch it this summer. We live in ND, so the cold and snow delays a lot of outdoor fun, and this is definitely not an “inside” activity.

This air rocket set is super fun. It is really easy to put together. It has simple instructions that my 10 year old son could understand and put together on his own. It launches the rockets really high. You can use it without the stand if you want to and aim it wherever you’d like. Would definitely recommend.

The air rockets from National Geographic is a big hit for children. It was very easy to assembly, comes with clear instructions. The harder they stomp, the higher the rocket’s go, and they can play with it for hours. It is a fun toy for the family. Good quality!

A great toy for all ages. My 6 year old and my 8 year old are so excited to play with this. It has been played daily with for the past few weeks. Super easy to set up and put away. it is a great way for kids and parents to spend time together.

As a parent i don't know how to explain how fun it is for kids and for grown up too. These rocket launcher are perfect outdoor and indoor activity for kids. This was so easy to set up and kids had so fun playing with it. The glow in the dark ones are so fun. You will love to see a rocket flying and glowing in dark. And the rockets are made of soft foam so you don't have to worry about them getting hurt.

This is a really cool toy and really easy for kids of all ages to enjoy. The rockets fly well, although the glow in the dark ones don’t really glow well. My 4 year old is small and she had a hard time creating enough force to make the rockets fly, so that is something to consider if you’re buying this for younger kids. We also instantly lost a rocket over a neighbor’s fence, but that was expected.

This air rockets toy has been fun for my kids to play with. However, I can immediately see how short of a lifespan this toy will have. Namely, several fins on the rockets have already broken off (one mere minutes after first use). Additionally, the product image I saw showed three glow rockets. But this set came with four rockets - two glow and two orange. So just be aware in case the product image isn't updated. Overall, it was easy to put together and my kids enjoy it, but it's not something I would get again.

My kids love this air rocket activity. This is truly a great activity for kids of all ages. Putting this together was very easy. The instructions are very easy to follow. Once you connect the few pieces you are ready to launch your rockets. I really like that the launch pad is very large. This makes it easier for my kids to jump on it with both feet and launch this rocket as high as possible. Every piece in this activity kit seems very sturdy and durable. This air rocket activity comes with four rockets. Two of the rockets glow in the dark which is perfect for night time launches. I really love that this can be used during the day and at night. This is a really great activity that any kid would love to do. I highly recommend this product.

My 7-year-old son loves this rocket toy! He was able to put it together easily by himself, which he was excited to show me. I like that it has the ability to adjust what direction to launch it. It comes with 4 rockets, 2 of which are glow in the dark! Easy to use and the rockets actually go pretty high!

This is a pretty classic and simple stomp rocket that my 6 year old was amazed by. The setup was simple enough that he could do it himself. He isn't quite old enough to understand all of the educational materials included - but an older kid may benefit more from it.

The National Geographic Air Rockets is a pretty cool game for outdoors. My kids enjoyed this game and also us adults. Kept my kids entertain for a long time. My 8yr old took it to school for outdoor play.

My daughter LOVES these and I find them to be the perfect gift when you don’t really know what a kid wants for their birthday. It’s a simple and fun toy that can be used by most people in most places. We haven’t been able to see our rockets glowing at night yet, but maybe we just needed to charge them longer.

My 10-year old son and I tried out the National Geographic Air Rockets in our nearby park and had a great time. My son had a blast trying different launch angles and having me launch the rockets so he could try and catch them as they came back down. The launcher and the rockets seem like good material that should last for many many uses. I’m not sure if the rockets went 100 feet or not but they went a good distance when I launched them. We haven’t tested the glow in the dark rockets yet, but will soon. I definitely recommend the National Geographic Air Rockets for anyone looking to have some outdoor fun with their kiddos.

Being a boy's mama I love all the fun toys I get to explore with my boys and spend quality family time with. My boys love National Geographic in general and this was perfect for a fun day out with them at the park and even playdate with their friends. We had in the past air rockets but nothing like this set which comes with 2 glow in the dark rockets and 2 regular ones(orange ones) and a launching base. Unfortunately we had so much fun a few rounds, one of the rockets ended up landing on someone's roof which was pretty funny and memorable to laugh about. Eventually we figured out which way to aim due to the wind and the boys used their energy to jump on the pump so that the air rocket would fly. The air rockets would go up to 100 ft! It was very easy to set up and clean up when it was time to go. I will say I do wish the glow in the dark rockets were a bit lighter but it wasn't a deal breaker as the boys had a blast outside. Great for spending time outdoors and less screen time! Overall, a great set and makes it a wonderful gift for kids 8 to 12 years old. Now we definitely know what to buy when going to a birthday party.
