This was purchased for my grandson for Christmas so I really cannot review how it is until after that time. It looks fantastic and I am sure he will get many hours of fun from his weather station. Arrived very promptly and all in good order. Thank you

This weather station was what my grandson wanted. I can't tell if he can handle it. For me everything looks very simple, but certainly child-friendly for a 7-year-old, when the parents help a little and the child shows interest in it of course.

My Grand-daughter loves this. It's only small and quite flimsy but a good toy to learn from about the weather. As a science starter, it does the job.

OK for kids to learn about the weather. Bit cheap looking but what do you expect for the money. Good educational tot without the kids realising.

Bought this for my grandson's 8th birthday. After reading the reviews I wasn't expecting a lot, but as he's really into science I thought for the price it was worth buying for a stocking filler. He enjoyed putting it all together and I had to find him a bottle, some compost and seeds to take home with him make the garden bit. We decided that his mum would help him make a spreadsheet on his laptop to record his readings, so I think it will turn out to be a good buy!
