Reviews
My seven year old grandson loved the project. It was a wonderful way to spend the day together. I love how the directions are so easy to follow. The solar system turned out so nicely. The launch was fun but I was disappointed with the quality of the orbiters. But, with practice they launched very well! We both thoroughly enjoyed this first KiwiCo project that we have done! Thank you!!
My 8 year old, space-obsessed daughter LOVED this kit. She built it quickly one morning and now it's the centerpiece of our table.
The ease of assembly was great. The pieces were all fun. The moon falls off at times. My nephew loved the astronaut rocket. But he had a little trouble hitting the air pump as hard as he wanted to. Stepping on it with his foot helped.
