Customer Reviews
Beautiful! Wish I was a kid again!
I give this toy the higest rating possible.
First of all, it is beautifully made. Unlike most toys today, it is not made out of cheap, breakable plastic, but out of sturdy wood. I was very pleased with how well it was made. It can be moved into different configurations, and is very cleverly made, with very attractive detailing. The horses and people that came with it are also very attractive and well made.
Secondly, it is what I call an "open ended" toy. That is, unlike many toys that become boring quickly because there is only one way to play with them, this castle naturally stimulates creative and fun play that has no end.
To me, this is the best kind of toy, one that engages your child and encourages them to make up their own stories.
And this is a toy that I can join a child in playing with, too, as we make up stories together.
This will be a toy that will last for years, and that will be a favorite for years. Wish I had had this when I was a child!
Would buy again for sure
We got this toy for my then 4 and 3 year old daughters for Christmas 2004. It has been in pretty heavy use since then. I like the simplicity of the design - it has just enough 'castleness' to make it perfect, without going completely overboard like a molded plastic castle.
It has been very sturdy overall, considering the abuse my daughters and my 2 year old son have given it. I think we have reglued part of it once due to a fall from a dining room table, which I'd say is more than acceptable.
I only gave four stars because about 4 months into its lifespan the drawbridge broke off - it is the one slightly weak part of the whole thing, in my experience. However the portcullis still goes up and down and my daughters haven't noticed that the drawbridge is missing so obviously it's still agreat toy!
I love this and would recommend it to any parent with 2 to 10 year olds. I think even the drawbridge would survive if there weren't 3 toddlers climbing on it for four months!
Best Castle Ever!!!
This is my son's favorite toy - bar none! He plays with it all of the time and with the included figures and all of his other action figures. There is so much for him to do with it because it unfolds to about twice the original size!
