 Son loves them! Very big! Feb 22, 2008
By Krickit
My son is almost 4 and loves these. Yes, some of them seem to lose some air at times but we just put some back in and they are fine. They are a great size and do represent the planets pretty accurately (i.e. Jupitor is the biggest planet, the Sun is HUGE, Pluto is the smallest, etc.). I would recommend keeping an eye on the price of these as in the past it has dipped quite low. We actually bought them marked down to 9.99 with free super saver shipping. Would highly recommend!

Pretty Good, but Smaller Dec 27, 2008
By D. Jameson
Our 8 year old recently picked up an interest in "space" stuff. We got him this set for Christmas, we just hung them up on his bedroom ceiling, and he thinks they are great. However, with the set we got, the planets are only about 2/3 of the advertised size. In our case, it's really not that bad, because they are still impressively sized in his room. But, if you really need them to be the advertised size, you will be disappointed. The sizes we got are [Planet(s) (Ad size, Actual size)]:
Sun (36", 23"), Jupiter (22", 13"), Saturn (18", 12"), Uranus, Neptune (14", 9"), Earth (12", 8"), Venus (12", 7.5"), Mars, Mercury (10", 7"), Pluto, Moon (8", 5").

 Great Idea but needs to be more durable. Jan 18, 2008
By Richard Beach
My 6 yr. old twins were very excited to receive this for their birthday and get to decorate their room. It was a great tool to use to have a discussion about the planets as we blew them up. (Which took about 1/2 hr using the included foot pump). I appreciated the included booklet for additional information about the planets, but only wish it was a little bit more kid friendly. After we took time to blow them up and then hang them, it was only a few hours later that three of them lost air. Needless to say, despite the fact that they come with patches for fixing them, I wasn't happy to have to do this just after receiving them. Overall a nice toy idea, but a little dissapointed with the lack of sturdyness. - Victoria

 Very poor quality Dec 25, 2009
By Ekaterina V. Mcguire
"homeschooling Mom"
We bought this set for our 5,5 yo for Christmas. What a disappointment! The pump stopped working withoin 5 minutes, and Neptune had a huge hole in it (impossible to repair). Other planets can not hold enough air to look like little balls (like on the photo). They look sad...
When I asked my son if it was okay with him to send it back to Amazon, he didn't mind at all. And this is a boy who is CRAZY about Space and Planets...
I personally LOVE Learning Resources company, but this product did not meet our usual expectations. I am sending it back....

Solar System fun Jan 13, 2008
By T. Sponsler
"happy mom"
We bought this for my 5 year old son because he loves the planets and had seen a set at a cousin's birthday party. The birthday party set was from another company that makes party favors etc. When I saw this one at Amazon for such a good price, I grabbed it. It was of a much better quality material than the one from the party favor store and came with the materials needed to hang the planets. It also came with a pump to help inflate each planet which was nice.
We promptly inflated the planets and hung them from my son's bedroom ceiling. He loves them.
