Customer Review: Awesome play hut!
Summary: 5 Stars
This play hut, which is more like a play fortress or something, is awesome. It was a little bigger than I expected...about the size of my entire chaise sectional, but that's ok because my two boys are going to be using it at the same time. Hopefully that might lessen the amount of tiffs they have over which section belongs to whom. I have other play hut items and they are all easy to assemble/dessemble, extremely fun, and durable. We also have the basketball/skeeball hut and not only do they like throwing and rolling the balls but they also like to get inside of it, sit on it, draag it around, and somehow even get under it. I can imagine many times where my kids are wearing the different parts of this new play hut rather than crawling or playing inside of it. What do I know though? Kids will be kids. They haven't yet played with it since it's a Christmas gift from Santa, so I can not precisely rate the fun but I assume it will be a 5 based on the other products we have. I rated it a middle of the road three for education because I believe they will learn something while they use this...even if it's as abstract as improved imaginary capabilities or maybe, just maybe, how to share and work together :) Enjoy!Customer Review: Fun to use, very lightweight, easy to assemble and disassemble)
Summary: 4 Stars
My parents purchased this as a gift for my almost 1 year old daughter. Beware that the packaging says for 3+ years only.
It is a great set of tunnels and playhuts for young children to crawl through and play with. It's really nice to have a ball pit within the hut - although you will need to buy more balls as the included number is insufficient - just enough to tempt a child without being enough to properly play.
It is very easy to assemble and disassemble so you don't have to spend hours taking it down when you just want some space for something else.
It is very lightweight - this is good but also not great as young children can easily knock it over. Even when fully assembled, it is relatively easy for a small child to lean against one side too heavily and cause the whole structure to tip. I don't think this will be as much of a problem for older children who know that they are supposed to just crawl through and play without leaning on the sides but my daughter loves to try and stand up holding onto the sides and then it tips right over.
Brightly coloured, fun to look at without being too invasive into your living space.
A good purchase but beware of knocking it over!

I was excited when I came up with the idea to get my son a ball pit type toy for his birthday. I knew what I had in mind and this seemed to be a good fit and after a few seconds of looking at it once my husband set it all up I began to think differently. I don't even know where to begin! For one thing the frame is very flimsy. I have purchased other "pop open" items before that have had fairly thick frames. This one collapses and easily falls over as my son crawls through the little door openings. I am constantly adjusting it so that it doesn't cave in on him while he's inside. As advertised you can use the pieces separately or set it up in many different arrangement options, but the sturdiest way I have found is only setting up as the picture shows. The other thing I was highly disappointed with is that the largest piece is the only one with a bottom or floor to it. When I set up just one of the end pieces to utilize space in our small living room it winds up being a disaster. I will get most or all of the balls inside, then my son crawls through the opening, the whole thing falls over and all of the balls get scattered across the floor. I think I will be returning it soon:(Customer Review: Have bought for each grandchild

Play hut Mega Land has provided hours of fun for our 18 month old granddaughter, starting when she was about 10 months old. She likes to go in and play with the balls (we bought exra) 100 extra is good, 200 extra seems like too many. She also takes toys in with her and plays quietly. It is brightly colored, it involves different shapes and textures, so I think it is good for brain development. It encourages play with parents too as she will throw balls out and we will toss them back in to her.
Our younger granddaughter just got hers for her first birthday and she was scared at first. Her mom went in with her and can actually fit in it to sit and play with her. Now she crawls in on her own and seems to enjoy it.
It is big and takes up a lot of room, but you don't have to use all the pieces at one time, they attach easily.
The basketball hoop is not really useful for their current ages.
It is especially good for rainy days or small apartments where you can't get them outside as much.
I feel it is safe, but supervision is always recommended.
Customer Review: Hours of Fun!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
