My kid begs for science.
5 out of 5 stars
My kid begs for science.
This kit is worth every penny. We are a family of teachers and we bought this kit to encourage our kids, ages 7 and 2, to do some hands on science with us with all of his time together during Safer at Home. We used to love to stream Bill Nye the Science Guy before disney decided to stop showing it and we were sad when it was unavailable, so we were happy to get this set of experiments for Christmas. Both kids love the experiments even though they are younger than 8. The 7 year old can grasp the concepts, but the 2 year old just loves to participate with the family. The headset has adjustable eye pieces, so it fits both kids. There are some experiments that require buying some items, but it’s totally worth it to have my 7 year old beg me to learn science all day.The VR part of this is very rewatchable: The first experiment has you fly over an erupting volcano in VR: turn around and see the helicopter!

    We got this for our daughter for Christmas. Upon opening it, we found various pieces were not included. I reached out to Abacus Brands customer service and they quickly responded to my issue. They responded that my missing parts issue was not one they regularly encountered. They sent a new box which had all parts included! The customer service I received was top notch!
    This science kit is great for all future scientists out there! I highly recommend!

    This was a great gift for my precocious 6 year old grandson. The VR glasses are great and well made. My grandson loved it. It says for 8-12 year olds. A parent definitely needs to help a 6 year old figure out how to use it. I wish they would provide a video for instructions. Read instructions before you give it to a child so you can show them if they have trouble using them. Experiments are pretty simple and safe.

    We fully intended on making this a Christmas gift, but with Thanksgiving being apart from our families this year, we decided to open this one early to enjoy over the break. I'm so glad we did! This is not our first "science kit" for kids, but it is by far the best. From the VR interaction with Bill Nye to the premium items included, this was a big hit with our children. With virtual learning and science in particular tough for them this year, this kit really helped bring some excitement back to learning from home. Thanks, Bill!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Bill Nye should be ashamed of this product.
    Reviewed in Canada on March 16, 2022
    This science kit is a big waste of time and money. Don't get fooled by the VR and app, they don't work. Read the reviews of the app on android app store. Most people can't get the app to work. I have tried it with a new 32GB tablet and all you get is a camera looking at the book. There is no vr, no ar. You are better off getting a good science kit and not buying something with Bill Nye's photo on it.
