## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome
*by D***M on July 2, 2025*

Kiwi kits are the best and this one is particularly awesome. Great activity to work with 5 year old, slightly older child could do it alone. A lot of learning in one box, and the activities take a good amount of time. And the outcome is something you can keep forever.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun science project for our 4 year old.
*by A***N on June 16, 2025*

I gave this to my 4 year old grandson. I built it with him, but he was able to do the vast majority of the assembly, and loved it. He has played with the spaceship for hours!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Missing paint
*by C***R on October 25, 2023*

We just built the solar system out of this kit so far. It was fun and cool for my daughter to get hands on since we are learning about planets in our homeschooling currently but I will say the paint was missing from the kit and spinners slightly learn downward after they have all been put on the rod. Other then that it was good. I'm hoping no other parts are missing for the other activity in the kit!
