Amazon.com Review
With the City Hospital Set, kids can nurse ill and wounded urbanites back to health. As a part of Lego's City line, which lets younger kids imaginatively explore the devices and roles they see in our civic life, this set comes with 377 pieces and doctor, patient, and two paramedic minifigs. The main instruction booklet details hospital construction in 58 fairly simple steps. Additional instructions detail construction of the medivac helicopter and paramedic jeep in 16 and 12 steps, respectively. It seems to us that kids on the younger end of the recommended five-to-12 age range will need help following the diagrams. The completed model features helicopter with stretcher, a trauma center with intimidating medical tools, and a small paramedic jeep. The front of the playset is decorated with Lego flowers, grasses and trees. Inside the box you'll find five numbered parts bags, two flat ramp plates, molded plastic foundation, decal sheet, and three instruction booklets. Numbered parts bags make it easier to build the set in stages since the numbers correspond to discreet sections of the building diagrams. Also included is an illustrated block inventory with part numbers, in case you ever need to re-order a replacement block. --Porter B. Hall

Great learning toy for any child
Bought this for our grandson who is 8yrs old and loves to play with Legos.
I think he has just about every "big" set there is now. There's a websight for Lego that kids go onto and they show them how to use the Lego pieces to create more things then just what's in the picture on the box. Great idea.

Age level rated a bit young
I voted five stars because what Lego set isn't? haha... but really, my 6 year old son is great at following instructions and putting together Lego sets. However, I got this set for him for Christmas and it seemed to overwhelm him, and he hasn't even tried to finish it. :-( I think rating this for a 5 year old is a bit young unless someone plans on helping them out alot. I think the patience level needed to do a project this large would be closer to a 7 year old, really. Cute set though, and I'm sure eventually he will decide to put it together!

Legos are great toys
My 10-year-old son loves Legos, and he really enjoyed building the hospital. This "City" series of Legos is very appropriate and a good level for his age, and I love the opportunities for creative play.
