Reviews
Amazing kit. Extremely well made. My daughter and I enjoyed be together assembling our own planetarium.
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.
