Editorial Review
A landscape of tunnels and hiding dens can instantly be assembled in your yard or family room with this compact modular play structure. One of the best features is the abundance of colorful balls (there are 50!). Pile them all into one cube and children can experience the feel of a small-scale ball room like the ones in commercial play areas. When children tire of burrowing, crawling, and hiding, they can use the balls to shoot hoops into the built-in basket. The pop-up nylon play structure is easy to assemble, but be careful while assembling--modules spring open quickly. The challenge is folding it back into the carrying cases (no careless cramming--adults will have to follow instructions carefully). Megaland works with other PlayHut structures. The set includes one large hut with basket, one medium hut, one small block, two tunnels, two carrying bags, and 50 balls. --Gail Hudson

Hours of Fun!!
This is the most played with toy in our house. The tunnels and cubes give it limitless possibilities. The ball pit is the biggest hit with the kids and with us, also. The "door" to the ball pit zips shut to keep them all in. As with most items that have ball pit balls, there are not enough included but we added a box of 100 balls and it was perfect for the kids. We have children ranging in ages from 10 months to 10 years and they all play with this toy. The older kids enjoy shooting hoops with the balls and chasing the younger ones through the tunnels. The younger children seem to enjoy the ball pit and tunnels the best. Whenever anyone comes over to our house, this is the first toy they go to in the playroom! The best thing about it, though, is that we can easily pop it down for when we need to move it. We recently painted the playroom and it was the easiest thing to move in there. We have had other playhuts in the past and they all last a long time and through many children. Much better than plastic or inflatable models. Well worth the money for the use you will get from it.

choose this over blowup ball pits!
I, like many other reviewers, had a blow-up ball pit. It was a huge hit and lasted 6 months before developing a hole which I could not find, yet caused considerable deflation every two days. I did consider getting another blow-up, until I read about everyone complaining about the hassel of blow-up pits getting holes and their inablility to quickly take down/move them. I also thought that the Megaland would encourage more physical and imaginative play for my 2 and 3 year old boys and help keep them busy and active all Winter long. I've only had the Megaland play center for about a week, but I am very happy that I chose to get it. The flexibility it lends in easy collapse and compact storage is terrific and the quality seems fine. I also like that it can be taken apart and rearranged in numerous different ways. This is done with changing simple velcro attachments. This will add new and greater interest in playing with it. I am glad that I have the 100 balls from my old ball pit to add to the 50 which come with the Megaland-though I have not used them yet. If you are particulary interested in having "ball pit" play then I feel it is essential for you to purchase an extra 100 balls. The 50 balls that come with the Megaland are not nearly enough for a "ball pit" enjoyment.

The only thing needed for this purchase is creativity
The Megaland by Playhut is excellent for little folks. It is durable and can take the wear and tear of cowboy and indians, space adventures to the princess in the castle. It has been turned over, stepped on, kicked, pushed around the floor and sat on by my year old son. My five year old and 3 year old have taken it a step further than the baby by making this playland their make-believe area. The balls are awesome because I get to keep them clean and they are very safe. It has been great for rainy days or when we can't get to the park. I have different pieces in different rooms. Since you can add on pieces I am going to invest in more tunnels. But you definately need a big play area when the entire megaland is set up.
