Summary of reviews
The LeapFrog Magic Adventures Telescope offers a unique blend of fun and education, making it an engaging tool for young explorers.

The product features a digital screen for viewing, 110x magnification, and the ability to capture images, making it a great starter telescope for children interested in astronomy. However, it may not meet the expectations of those seeking a traditional telescope experience.

This is more of a toy than a telescope. It’s a fun idea, but there is little difference between looking through this telescope and looking with your own eyes.

Telescope function doesn't work. All we saw was a black screen, never saw the moon. No, the cap wasn't on. The games were fine, but not why we bought this. We wanted to see the moon.
everything works besides telescope function

The telescope function does not work. Whenever we use the telescope function, the screen is fuzzy. The screen works fine for the educational games. Is there something that I am missing? I’m confused how most of the reviews are positive with only a few acknowledging that the telescope function works. One review even shows a very clear picture of the moon on the telescope screen and I am wondering whether that review and the other reviews are fabricated or if I am just missing something. If someone could enlighten me about whether I am doing something wrong or if the product is just a sham, that would be helpful. My husband wants to buy a completely new telescope for my son from a different brand and company. I do not want to do this if this telescope can actually work but if it doesn’t work, I would like to make sure my son actually has a real working telescope. The games work, but he could get that education somewhere else. What is the point of a telescope that doesn’t work like a telescope?????

This is a gift so hasn't been used yet. From the leaflet stating all it can do it seems like it will be great and a toy that can grow with the child. I understand it was runner up for toy of 2023. I hope it is user friendly; if so it will be great.
Would be amazing if it worked I believe people are more interested in the games on this than actually seeing what's up in space! If that's what your looking for than this is for you but not for space!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great quality product like all leapfrog brand toys very educational. My son is 8 and is on the taller size for his age and more mature and found this toy telescope to be more on the younger side of the age range. My younger nephew loves it and he is 6. The toy is easy to put together and simple instructions to follow and use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 7 year daughter has used this telescope briefly. I would use the term telescope loosely as it does not work well for viewing the sky at night in an urban setting. The range is limited and seeing on a screen doesn't help. The biggest value this telescope brings is the digital screen which has different learning programs and games on it. However, the screen is not very large, and I feel that most of what it does could be found on a larger tablet. Overall, the telescope does a number of things, ie take pictures, see at a distance, play games, visually learn, but it doesn't do any of them overly well. It'd be an item to get a young child interested in space and telescopes, but in our house hasnt had long useage.
Great gift for kids!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is way more fun than a normal telescope for children! We love the photo feature with zoom and all the interactive options. Easy to set up, user friendly and such a great way to get them excited and involved in learning about the solar system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Magic Adventures Leap Frog interactive telescope is a very educational play set that my children really enjoyed. It has a magnification of 110x which is nice as a beginner telescope. It's not scientific grade but it does zoom in to a nice closeness for children to experience. Easy to assemble and easy to use. The monitor that has all the video stuff easily connects to the three leg tripod. Stance is sturdy enough, although it is short but tall enough for young heigth. It has 20 cards that has additional facts and information. Monitor acts as a camera and shows you magnification, along with games and videos. Allows pictures to be saved and shared.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this *looks* like a legitimate telescope but looking at stars and the moon... we didn't get a lot of details. The trivia game on it is WELL loved by my 9yo. He plays that all the time! It does require batteries and is easy for my 6yo to focus once set up. The legs don't fold up for easy storage so once it's set up you have to have a spot to keep it. All in all, I think if you want a real telescope view you have to invest in a real one, but this is great for younger kids who want the experience and who like trivia games.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Interactive telescope great for all ages. Incorporates fun activities that get my son interested in space and beyond. Telescope is very entry level and quality is decent for what it is. Wouldn't purchase just for the telescope through.
Very fun, Kids loved it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very fun way to get kids into astronomy. My kids (6 & 9) have enjoyed playing with this and checking out the moon. There is also a game that they have had fun playing. From an adult perspective, I think it is a great idea and mostly done well. It is a little difficult to adjust and settle in on a precise location and the quality of the LCD is a little lacking. However, you are able to take photos and this is a cool added feature. Overall, I can forgive the shortcomings as this telescope definitely invigorated my children's interest in the cosmos.
My son LOVES it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has so many features for my 4.5 year old to explore. He wanted a telescope like older sister (10) but cannot be trusted with a nicer piece of equipment. But this just has way more to keep his interest, PLUS it works like a real telescope. They love getting outside side by side with them both to see what is out in the night sky. This is a great purchase that goes way beyond just a toy - it's a learning experience. I highly recommend!
Fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A very neat “out of the ordinary” toy and the assembly is super easy. It’s basically just putting the legs on. The legs come off easily too so this will be easy to put back in the original box for storage and it won’t take up as much room. All the little “extras” this telescope has is nice. Games, explore and you can take a quiz. You are able to take pictures but not very many before it says storage full. We got to 12 pictures before it was full. Any toy that will get my kids outside is good in my book and it’s to watch them play with this. My 3 year old even likes to tinker with the screen activities.
Awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this more for my 6.5 year old but my 15 year seemed to have more fun with it. The telescope was really east to setup and disassemble. It allows picture to be taken however you need an SD card. I had hoped for a little better picture quality. The telescope was also a pit touchy when trying to reposition it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LeapFrog® Magic Adventures™ Telescope is very educational and fun to use! My son loves this telescope and he likes that he can take pictures with it. He likes that it has adventure games as well he can play after star gazing. Hours and hours of fun spent with this telescope. If your child loves astrology and science they will love this toy. It’s very easy to put together and use overall this is a great product.
