volume can be easily fixed great product for an interested kid! . Our whole family loves this one. Yes, the volume is loud but by simply taping an index card over the speaker it can be muffled and still be understood perfectly, really. I found it loud at first but we don't even use the cover anymore now that we have two little boys in the house.
The product is loaded with information about each planet giving kids choices to find out about history, distance from the sun, size, gravity/mass, year/day, temperature, space visits, moons, and other fun facts for each planet. They also make it easy for the child to understand by often making comparisons to earth. At anytime the child may choose to listen to something else by simply pressing the easy to use flat touch pad which is plastic and easy to clean. When talking about a planet or moon the picture lights up. If the child chooses to quiz his or herself and gets and answer wrong the product will correct them and ask them again it seems within 10 or less questions.
This product also happens to be lightweight, durable, and easy to clean if needed. It is worth mentioning that this product has an interface that is easier to use than a leappad. My boy was already very interested in the solar system but this took it to another level of fascination.

Interactive planetarium . Wonderful toy for a child with an active mind. A bit expensive but worth it for a child who has this interest.

Worth it but you can find them at a thrift store for less . I have found several of these at a thrift store. They are great fun and my 5 year olds are obsessed with them. The speakers accent is a bit distracting but it isn't bad.

Cons Review
Cool till it dies and the company won't help you . This toy is very educational and includes a lot of information about space. Unfortunately, it's not very durable. It was treated with care, but the electronic board has obviously gone kaput because you can only turn it on now with the Reset button. And after you do that, none of the buttons respond at all. If you push the ON/OFF button, it tells you it's turning off. Then you can turn it back on with the Reset button again. Not a whole lot of fun or education. That's all it does now.
I wrote to the company, Scientific Toys, and they told me to take it back to the store. I wrote again and said it had been past 30 days and asked if they could help me. No response. I wrote again and got no response. I wrote one final time and said that I would like to be able to leave a good review on Amazon about their company and product, and that I would wait a few days to hear from them before posting a review. That was about 2 weeks ago.
So I wouldn't buy this product (pretty expensive for something that doesn't work at all!) or any toy from this company since they don't stand behind their products. They just ignore you.

Very loud interactive planetarium . I am very disappointed with this product.
The volume is not adjustable, and the default sound setting is so loud that it can be heard in another room, even with a door closed.
Electronic toy voices are occasionally annoying or difficult to understand, this is the case here. So, needing to have something repeated... loudly... can "get on your nerves".
I will be more careful in the future and not assume that all speaking electronic toys come with adjustable volume.
Buyers beware!

Scientific Interactive Planetarium . This toy was recommended for children between 5 - 12 years old. I bought it for my grandson, who just turned 5. The toy was quite boring and way too advanced for a 5 year old - even one as interested in Space and planets as this one. I would NOT recommend it for anyone.
