Description
Designed for curious beginners, this lightweight 30x telescope/monocular invites kids to explore the world up close—from craters on the moon to trees and birds in the backyard. The viewing tube detaches for handheld use as a monocular, while the tabletop tripod keeps it steady for longer observation sessions. The Smithsonian 30X Telescope/Monocular is fun way to introduce basic astronomy and observation skills, without a big investment.
If you're looking for a more powerful, full-featured telescope—or when your young explorer is ready to graduate to more advanced stargazing tools—we also offer intermediate telescope models suited for older kids and adults.
Now in updated packaging—same hands-on STEM activities inside!
