When camping with the family we find it’s always easy to find stuff to do during the daytime but harder at night. That’s where we find a telescope comes in handy to explore the wonders of the night sky.

This GALILEO Refractor Telescope found at Stacks And Stacks is a little over a hundred dollars and will get you thinking.

A telescope works a lot better where the sky is dark without the reflection of all the city lights. What better time to reflect with your children on the vastness of the universe?

My daughter opted for some really large binoculars that show the moon real well and also bring the planets in closer too. They serve a dual purpose as they are great for observing wildlife at a distance. She has a little tripod to go with it to steady things up.
