Toys and Games Reviews of Megaland
Customer Review: A great little tent
Summary: 5 Stars
We have a very large basement that serves as a playroom for my 3 year old B/G twins, and my 8 month old B/B twins, and as an office for my husband. We have MANY things down there, a doll care center, toy strollers, cheap trikes/ride-ons (the ones that arent good for outside) a log cabin playhouse, tables a t.v, a LARGE closet and a wall unit. WEll this tent is GREAT. It has alot of activities (and we bought the 100 pack of balls, and an extra one too!). My kids love to hide in it and crawl through it. We love it because unlike the log cabin, this can be easily stored away in the walk in closet. My kids like to read in it and I think it serves a much different purpose than the house, this is more of a hiding feature, and tents and my kids love to pretend that they are in teh jungle and that the log canin is there home but they have to get through this set first. Its very cute and I would tell anyparent to buy one simply because kids love it, and its easy to store. Even if you dont have a large playroom, you can open this up in your living room, and take it down when they are done playing, its really easy! Thats what we do all the time! I also like that you can purchase cheep extentions to make a MONSTER tent (when the basement is cleared and we have children company, thats a big crowd pleaser!) even my eight month olds love it! BUY IT, ITS GREATCustomer Review: Playland/Ball pit
Summary: 4 Stars
My child love this. The balls get all over the place but they are having fun. Yes, you will need more balls then the 50 included to make the ball pit "Fun". It has started to tear in places (only 2 weeks old) but I have 4 children playing in it and 3 are very rough on the poor thing (but I really don't see any children who are truly enjoying them self in playing with this being ever so gentle).I do believe this could have been built and designed better. For instance, it would be nice to get the flaps out of the way maybe with Velcro -the ties do not help so much and the zippered back could have either had ties to keep it open or Velcro. I don't see it lasting to long unfortunately. SO it's tears versus a holes to repairs with a plastic ball pit, pick your poison. On the plus side it is very quick and simple to put up and take down (which may not be a good thing because you have to set it upright again and again). I had a little problem trying to fold it all back up to put back in the bag it came in-but it probably is better to store it flat-to help it keep it's shape. It is big but you don't have to have it all set up at once if you don't want, and your children will still have fun with it. Over all I believe it was a worthy purchase and my baby and other children love it, ages 1-11.Customer Review: choose this over blowup ball pits!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Lots of Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
This Playhut is lots of FUN. We had bought the the Crawl & Play playhut after reading the review & found it not to have much to play with. We bought pit balls like they recomeended & they kept on rolling out the bottom because it was not enclosed. So we decided to by the megaland to go along with it. It was the best idea ever! Our son LOVES it!! He is almost 2 & it is his ultimate favorite toy. He loves the basketball hoop & ball pit! We have also made one of the rooms into a little bedroom w/ a pillow & blanket. Our son & cat get in there and cuddle up together! They both love it! It was also great that we had both playsets because it has made us able to actually connect them all to make a circle. He has so much fun. The best playland we have gotten him, much better than blow up ones. Much more durable, & so much more practical! You can pack it away in a flash so it doesn't clutter up the house. Once you get it down it's easy, at first it can be kinda tricky. It isn't the most durable thing I've ever seen, but I think it will hold up for a while & for the fun we have had so far it has been well worth it! My husband loves it to, because he can play w/ our son in it too. A tight squeeze, but it works. They have a blast!! I completly recommend buying this product!Customer Review: Great fun for indoors and out!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great toy for people who don't have much space. If you are used to the things that twist and fold for storage; all of these pieces fold up in a similar way.
It's super easy to set this up and take it down. My son loves it and when we are done playing it all folds up to a nice small size for storage. You can use it indoors or outdoors. The only hazard we are finding about having it indoors is you end up with balls everywhere. Which the cats enjoy but I don't enjoy much. Luckily my son thinks picking the balls up is a game, so it works out okay.
The balls that come with it are not enough for the ball pit. I went and bought another 200 balls to fill the ball pit up nice and good. My 14 month old son loves it.
It is about as durable as you would expect it to be for the cost and portability. Similar to many other twist and fold items. It does blow over easy and get knocked over pretty easy; but for my son that's all part of the fun :-)
Surprisingly my cats also love chasing each other in and out of the tunnels. We've had this a couple months now and it has stood up to kid and cats so far. We love it and my son will spend a good hour or so playing in there at a time.
