These all-in-one kits are perfect for beginners and seasoned stargazers alike, offering everything you need to observe the night sky or explore the world around you during the day.

Both telescopes come fully equipped for your adventures. They circulate for 14 days, allowing ample time to explore the stars and beyond. Located at the Circulation Desk alongside our popular Explorer Bags, each kit is neatly packed in a labeled ziplock bag, with every piece carefully labeled for easy setup.
