Subscription company providing science kits and VR lessons for kids at home.
There's no denying MEL Science kits are well made and my kids enjoy them. The catch is the monthly cost feels high for what arrives in the box, and the VR sets require their own headset. It's a genuinely good product that I'm just not sure is worth the ongoing price for our family.
Quality materials, real learning
Expensive for the quantity
The MEL Science chemistry experiments genuinely excited my son and the VR lessons are a clever touch. The problem is the subscription boxes arrived late a couple of times and one was missing a reagent. When everything shows up the experience is great, but the logistics need work.

MEL Science delivers safe, well-designed experiments that feel like real lab work rather than toy science. My daughter has learned about crystals, reactions and the periodic table through the kits and VR lessons. The quality of the materials and instructions is excellent month after month.
High-quality kits, safe and educational
Each MEL Science box is a proper hands-on experiment that my two children do together at the kitchen table. The accompanying app explains the science clearly and the VR headset lessons make atoms and molecules come alive. Best educational subscription we've tried.
Real experiments, brilliant app and VR
We really enjoy our MEL Science subscription and the kids learn a lot from each kit. The VR component is a nice bonus. My only gripe is that each monthly box only contains a couple of experiments, so they're done in a single afternoon and then we wait. Still recommend it.
