My seven year old daughter loves her new star theater. As long as the room is not too large the effect is really cool.

I purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my son after having purchased less sophisticated planetarium-simulating devices through school book clubs. Unfortunately, this item, like the others, is a waste of money. The light wand connection is improperly fabricated and would not activate to light the bulb for the projection of the planets. The "spring" in the base of the wand does not push up the battery cartridge to make contact. My husband looked at it and said it is a piece of junk. Purchasers should not have to rewire a cheaply manufactured item to get it to work. Don't waste your money!

My daughter loved this Christmas present. She has played with it everynight since I put batteries in it. We thought of getting this after taking her to a planetarium. Her age is 7. The only thing I wish is that it would come with an AC adapter.
