Q: Will it mount to a standard tripod?

Yes, it will mount to a standard tripod. There is a 1/4-20 nut on the bottom.

Q: What age is this appropriate for?

I teach science to ages 4-9, with a major astronomy unit with 8 year olds, third graders. I built my GalileoScope about a year ago. A dextrous 8-9 year old could do this with some significant help from a dextrous adult. It WAS fun to assemble. Given that the barrel comes in two pieces, and is held together with sturdy o-rings, after a bit of use I chose to use packing tape to reinforce it. For its price, the optics are good. I can see moons of Jupiter, rings of Saturn, though they are so small, it was underwhelming. My only concern is that focusing is accomplished with a sliding motion, a bit difficult to hone in on that point of sharpest focus. AND, as with all scopes, a tripod is essential, and my inexpensive photo tripod only a little better than nothing.See here for more - http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A16ARAN5KQ1AVS/ref=pdp_new_read_full_review_link?ie=UTF8&page=1&sort_by=MostRecentReview#R36EKJ4WT22W1S

Hi Ingrid, The following is from the magazine Sky & Telescope: "...How good is the Galileoscope? This little 25x50 scope has very good optics, but no 50-mm scope can match the performance of our favorite $100 3-inch reflector, the cheapest scope that we've ever recommended before. On the other hand, it's far better than Galileo's own scope - and look how much he accomplished with that!The scope's biggest limitation is that it has no mount, so you will either have to attach it to a good photo tripod or jury-rig your own mount. That's harder than it might be, because the scope lacks the 90-degree diagonal supplied with most refractors. The straight-through viewing angle requres that the scope be mounted higher than your head..."
