5 out of 5 stars Super fun and educational   December 23, 2008
My [...] triplets LOVE this microscope. Not only do they enjoy playing with it, they've learned a ton from the interactive quizzes built into it. A great buy for your budding scientists.


4 out of 5 stars Great, educational toy...but...   December 6, 2008
it would be better if you could purchase additional slides. My son is a science nut, but even he has tired of looking at the same group of slides over over. You can put other slides under and look at them but you don't get the great info you do with the set that the microscope came with. It is a wonderful toy for a budding scientist or entymologist, though!


2 out of 5 stars Greatly disappointed   November 29, 2008
I purchased this toy for my son and when we first opened it up, he was very excited after looking at the slides on the microscope. However he was highly anticipating learning facts about the bugs on the slides and when I put the batteries in for him, that feature did not work. We entered the codes just as the directions stated and it never not once told us a fact about any of the 12 slides included. I am very upset, my son is upset and I regret buying this product. I will write to the company and ask for a replacement or that I get a full refund.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome   October 16, 2008
We LOVE this toy. Works wonderfully. I wish it came with a box for the slides. I also wish I knew where I could buy additional slides.


4 out of 5 stars Don't count on the 'talking'   August 2, 2008
The A-C buttons, used to input the type of bug being identified, didn't work on arrival. This seems to be a common problem. My girl still loved it, although she would have liked a ladybug slide.
