I don't understand how this toy gets 5 stars from people with kids. Writhing two uses, the fins were falling off the rockets. It's such a fun toy concept my son loves it, but I'm having to super glue the fins back on every time we use it. Especially when we make friends at the park other kids easily tear the fins off too. It's not kid friendly at all. Why not make the rockets one single mold so they're harder to tear off?????

Good product - needs options for replacement rockets
Works well… too well. I got this for my nephew for his birthday and he loves it. Unfortunately, he launched a few too high it went onto the roof and we’ve lost some of the rockets. He’s pretty upset now.

Nighttime Fun!
Our kids got these as a Christmas gift to take out when the weather got a little nicer. They had such a fun time shooting them and were surprised by the heights! The fun was even better at night with the glow-in-the-dark. They were easy to spot and retrieve!

Great Flying arrow shooter
My son got this for Christmas and when I tell you he was playing with it for 30 mins straight, I mean it. It takes like 2 mins if that to put together and start playing. The kids are able to set on the blue part and make the arrow fly

Lots of fun
Happy with this set. Kids were able to set it up and had fun playing. Quality is better than other rocket kits we’ve had in the past! We haven’t tried it in the dark yet, but so far seems they glow like typical glow in the dark items

Good stomp rockets
These were a lot of fun and a great time filler on Christmas Day waiting for family. We only used it in the day time so we didn’t get a chance to see how well the rockets glow. The rockets went a good distance and the stand is adjustable so you can go for height or distance. However, two rockets lost fins on the first time playing with it. The stand held up but is plastic and not super sturdy so it wouldn’t last too long with rough kids or younger kids. The toddlers did have a great time chasing the rockets though, so with supervision it’s a fun toy for ages 2-12.

Super Launcher!
Very cool set. My 10 year old was able to read the directions and put it all together herself. The glow in the dark is super cool! We plan on doing it outside at night to see if you can really see it. It launches very high... I recommend not launching it in the house. Lol.

Super rockets!
Both of my children love this air rockets. They both take turns jumping on the air pump and they love seeing which one can get their rockets to fly the high highest. We take it to the park and all the kids love taking turns.

Fun!
We gave this to my twin 9year old boys for Christmas. They’re so excited to launch it this summer. We live in ND, so the cold and snow delays a lot of outdoor fun, and this is definitely not an “inside” activity.

Really fun!
This air rocket set is super fun. It is really easy to put together. It has simple instructions that my 10 year old son could understand and put together on his own. It launches the rockets really high. You can use it without the stand if you want to and aim it wherever you’d like. Would definitely recommend.

Great toy for playing and learning
The air rockets from National Geographic is a big hit for children. It was very easy to assembly, comes with clear instructions. The harder they stomp, the higher the rocket’s go, and they can play with it for hours. It is a fun toy for the family. Good quality!

Fun activity
As a parent i don't know how to explain how fun it is for kids and for grown up too. These rocket launcher are perfect outdoor and indoor activity for kids. This was so easy to set up and kids had so fun playing with it. The glow in the dark ones are so fun. You will love to see a rocket flying and glowing in dark. And the rockets are made of soft foam so you don't have to worry about them getting hurt.

Fun for kids
This is a really cool toy and really easy for kids of all ages to enjoy. The rockets fly well, although the glow in the dark ones don’t really glow well. My 4 year old is small and she had a hard time creating enough force to make the rockets fly, so that is something to consider if you’re buying this for younger kids. We also instantly lost a rocket over a neighbor’s fence, but that was expected.

Fun toy, but not long lasting
This air rockets toy has been fun for my kids to play with. However, I can immediately see how short of a lifespan this toy will have. Namely, several fins on the rockets have already broken off (one mere minutes after first use). Additionally, the product image I saw showed three glow rockets. But this set came with four rockets - two glow and two orange. So just be aware in case the product image isn't updated. Overall, it was easy to put together and my kids enjoy it, but it's not something I would get again.

SO MUCH FUN
My kids love this air rocket activity. This is truly a great activity for kids of all ages. Putting this together was very easy. The instructions are very easy to follow. Once you connect the few pieces you are ready to launch your rockets. I really like that the launch pad is very large. This makes it easier for my kids to jump on it with both feet and launch this rocket as high as possible. Every piece in this activity kit seems very sturdy and durable. This air rocket activity comes with four rockets. Two of the rockets glow in the dark which is perfect for night time launches. I really love that this can be used during the day and at night. This is a really great activity that any kid would love to do. I highly recommend this product.

Son loves it!
My 7-year-old son loves this rocket toy! He was able to put it together easily by himself, which he was excited to show me. I like that it has the ability to adjust what direction to launch it. It comes with 4 rockets, 2 of which are glow in the dark! Easy to use and the rockets actually go pretty high!
