Toys and Games Reviews of GeoSafari Motorized Solar System
Customer Review: Educational Model
Summary: 3 Stars
The model has educational value in that it shows the relationship of planets to each other and to the sun around which they orbit, but it will not stand up to rough or abusive play. We purchased it as part of a science exhibit for the local children's museum and plan to display it under Plexiglas as a museum piece with a switch to be operated by interested youthful viewers.
As part of this review, we want to emphasize how impressed we are with the XUMP Science Toys. When we notified them that the electrical adapter was not included with the system as noted in the product description, they responded immediately that the part would be shipped to us ASAP at their expense. We are pleased to say that we received the adapter within 3-4 days. We are very impressed with the customer service of this company.
