Toy Review - Uncle Milton Star Theater SE Planetarium
I think Uncle Milton has come out with two of the best toy planetariums around. The Star Theater 2, and slightly more expensive Uncle Milton Star Theater SE are both great little kits for any kid interested in the solar system. Both come with a pretty standard planetarium, but this one also has a laser pointer type device for pointing to the stars that you’re looking at. Very cool. It’s also got a pretty educational CD. And the general quality is just pretty good. I played with the planetarium that Slinky Science put out last year and can easily say that the two by Uncle Milton are much nicer.
Overall review: even for the fairly steep price (almost $50 US), it’s one of the better science toys out there. This one even made a couple of lists of the best selling christmas toys of 2008. I can in good faith recommend this one.
