Are the instructions and VR elements easy to understand and use?

To be honest it's a little tricky because you start in AR then move to VR, but once you get the handle on it, it is AMAZING and so worth the learning curve.

Can i watch the vr videos using my oculus quest instead of the phone based headset that is included?

No the content is only accessible through the Bill Nye app and activated by the book in the kit.

Does this Kit contain everything you need to perform the experiments or do you need to buy a bunch of additional supplies?

Comes with most of everything, you need just a few household items: cooking oil, water, vinegar... but main supplies all included.

The simple VR mask was a hit: so much so that we offer a word of caution: the 8-year-old boy was so absorbed in the VR experience that he ended up with mild eye strain and headache: pace your child when using the kit!

We got this for our daughter for Christmas. Upon opening it, we found various pieces were not included. I reached out to Abacus Brands customer service and they quickly responded to my issue. They responded that my missing parts issue was not one they regularly encountered. They sent a new box which had all parts included! The customer service I received was top notch! This science kit is great for all future scientists out there! I highly recommend!
