Found this great deal by Walmart. I'm a big telescope collector so I'm always scouting new deals that my kids can have fun with.
Bought a similar one last year on Walmart's discount for $78. Seems they have an even better deal this year.
It's going for $125.99 on Amazon right now. Hopefully this doesn't sell out so all you telescope lovers can get your hands on it. Let me know what you think!

If you're looking for something that would last longer, I would look into dobsonian models. They're large and bulky, but can add a tracking unit to them after the fact.
I started with something similar to this, but sold it and purchased an 8" dobsonian within 6 months. that telescope has lasted a few years, but I will soon be upgrading to the Celestron NexStar 8SE. it's a fun hobby, but can get expensive quickly.
Google dobsonian telescope, there are some great tabletop ones available too. Easy to use and far better seeing that extend from the moon, planets to nebulae and galaxies.
This one's ok for a budget one (I have this, bought one years ago for curiosity sake. No finder scope though) https://www.amazon.com/Celestron-...Q6E4Y&th=1
This one is better; bigger with finderscope https://www.amazon.com/Orion-1001...5477&psc
More money, but nice diameter, a great first scope https://www.amazon.com/Orion-1001...7196&psc

How old are you kids? My recently turned 4 year old has been showing interest in the moon and asked for a telescope for Xmas. I ordered what I think is a decent one from Amazon but I'm wondering if he's too young for it. This kid doesn't have the greatest attention span but heaves going for walks at night to see the moon

You would be able to see moon detail, Jupiter and Saturn, but probably not much else depending on the light pollution where you live. It's a good option to "test the waters" but would probably be replaced within a year or two by something with a tracking feature.

I tried a pair of astronomy binoculars, but those ended up being too heavy for me to actually use. Couldn't see out of them because my hands shook so much. So I am looking for beginner telescopes.
An option for the binos would be a tripod for them, they can help steady the shaky hand. A good dobsonian will run you between 200-400. I would make my choice based upon where you live. If you live in an area with low light pollution and can stargaze right from your house I would go straight for the dobsonian. If you plan on taking the telescope out to darker areas I would go with something like this that is a bit more portable.
what's the difference with this one?
It's for my 12-year-old daughter and I really have no idea on this topic
Worst offending bad telescopes that turn people off are the Amazon direct "brands" (Gskyer, Toyerbee, any brand all capitalized etc)
