Not as good as the packaging looks Aug 02, 2008
The final product is nowhere near as nice looking as the picture of the rocket on the box cover. Expect to have to spend an hour putting it together, cutting your own decals from a square sheet of orange tape or cutting your own tail fins from a rectangle of balsa wood. The tape provided is really flimsy. My final product is held together by duct tape. If you have a kid looking for a nice-looking rocket that works, look elsewhere. If you are just looking for an experiment to display how vinegar and baking soda work interact, then this will suffice.

requires assembly, very fun, but poor quality May 27, 2008
I bought this for my 5 year old nephew's birthday. When he saw the box he was so excited but when he opened it and saw it was not assembled, he wasn't sure what to do with it. My brother put it together but the pieces are very cheap. We joked about what a poor product it was until we actually used it in the driveway. It was so fun and could be used over & over. Definitely more of a project and not a toy. Its purpose is to be launched outside by an adult. It ended up being really fun for him. I wouldn't buy it again though.

Works great, but soon breaks. Sep 21, 2007
The price, value, and educational benefits are reasonable for the price paid. I am a school teacher and use them in my class to demonstrate how to make graphs from data.

High Flyin' Fun Apr 11, 2007
What an awesome rocket! We purchased this for my 4 year old son's birthday. While he technically doesn't fall within the suggested age for this item, my son sure enjoyed building and launching this rocket with his daddy. This kit is great for beginners and offers much hands on science experimenting! When constructed correctly, this rocket really can be launched again and again. We have launched it repeatedly on two separate occasions since putting it together. Even with minor repairs made in between launches, this rocket still works. It is definitely a great way to introduce rocket science to your child!
