I’ll second this. My wife and kids are amazed by actually seeing Saturns rings and Jupiter with the Galilean moons, and that’s only with my 90mm refractor. Venus (a bright dot) and Mars (a reddish dot) don’t have a lot of additional excitement.
I tend to like naked eye observation and binoculars almost as much, because you start learning what to go look for with the higher magnification.
