Product Description:
Watch the excitement as children discover exotic worlds with FunScope---a real reflecting telescope with a durable, kid-friendly "spaceship" design! Its big 76mm light-grabbing parabolic optics and 30x magnifying power reveal sharp, close-up images both in daylight and at night. With FunScope, kids can spy on that squirrel in the backyard; follow an airplane in flight; or marvel at the Moon's craters, the planet Saturn, and other celestial wonders. The turn-to-focus eyepiece provides right-side-up views just like the eye sees, only magnified 30 times more! FunScope can be used on its navigation base or held by hand. It comes with a snap-on "nose cone" dust cap and a cartoon-illustrated User's Guide. It's ready to use right out of the box, which doubles as a convenient carrying case! Better than flimsy department store telescopes, FunScope makes a fun and educational gift! For kids ages 6 and older. One-year limited warranty.

Rating : - Really just a toy - recommend the Orion Starblast instead.
Without the ability to aim the telescope and a decent mounting it is hard (and very frustrating for a kid) to find anything in the night sky. Orion makes a much better product called the Starblast, albeit about twice the price in the FunScope. In contrast to the FunScope, the Starblast gathers more light, has a useful robust mount and includes two eyepieces (x26 and x75). These can be expanded using a x2 Barlow if required. The Starblast also includes a red-dot finder to make it easy to aim the scope. My ten-year old is able to find objects such as Orion's Nebula and faint galaxies two-million light years away (Messier objects 81 & 82) without difficulty. The only caveat with the Starblast is that it is a reflecting scope and does not invert the image to the right way up - thus making it not so useful for terrestrial viewing.
