With World Space Week drawing to a close, a deal on a children's telescope is available that can bring the cost down to £18.25. Argos is currently offering the Science Mad 50mm Telescope with Tripod for £35, but the price can be reduced to £27.25 using the code RED25 at checkout.
New TopCashback members who are also new Argos customers can secure the telescope for £18.25 after cashback. Existing Argos customers who are new to TopCashback can get it for £19.85 once cashback is applied. Prices include free click-and-collect with Argos; home delivery costs an extra £4.95.
Telescope features and customer reviews
The Science Mad Telescope is designed for ease of use, featuring an altazimuth mount that allows horizontal and vertical adjustment. It can magnify up to 90X, letting children view the moon's major craters in detail, and its compact design makes it suitable for camping trips and days out.
Shoppers on Argos have awarded the telescope four stars. One customer wrote: "Bought for my nephew he loves it. Decent for the price." Another said: "Great value, easy to use. My 8 year old daughter was excited to open and use. Compact and looks good." A fifth reviewer commented: "My grandson loves this as does his dad! A real telescope that is brilliant for some star gazing and learning about space and the universe."
However, one less satisfied customer noted: "Basic but good value if priced fairly." Another added: "It’s ok, it definitely zooms in but I’ve only seen the moon successfully. Tripod is very small and eye piece on the small side for my personally to get a good eye round it."
Alternative space-themed gifts
For a different option, the GALT Space Lab Science Kit is available on Amazon for £13.99, offering 12 experiments to develop STEM skills. The Magic Toy Shop Space Exploration Set, priced at £9.99 on Amazon, includes seven pieces such as two astronauts for imaginative play.
To get the telescope for £18.25, new TopCashback members can sign up for free, search for 'Argos' on the site, and purchase the item normally. They will receive £15 cashback when spending £15 or more, with the cashback tracking to the earnings page within seven days.
