Toys and Games Reviews of Little People Fun Park

Customer Review: A favorite toy, but always in pieces
Summary: 2 Stars

My son received this toy as a gift and absolutely loves it. When other kids come over to play, this is one of the first toys they grab. The problem is in the construction and size. Here's the breakdown:
Pros:
-It takes a little while for toddlers to learn how to appropriately hook the car onto the top of the loop track and push the button at the correct time. I see this as beneficial because it helps develop fine motor skills and teaches cause and effect, but be forewarned that the child will probably demand a lot of help at first.
-As aforementioned, every child that has ever come to my house has gravitated towards/fought over this toy.
-There is a lot to do with this toy- the ramp, a door to open and close, a slide, etc etc.

Cons:
-The loop ramp is extremely flimsy. While the car going upside down yields squeals of delight, any slight bend or misalignment in the track results in a failed run. I have to pop the track off, play with it for a while, and flip it around to get it to work almost every time the toy is pulled out. All it takes is having another toy drop on the track, a child pushing gently on the track, or tipping against a wall to get out of alignment.
-The other rides come off. This is supposed to be for greater flexibility and a hidden storage space, but it means that if the kids try to use the ride, it usually just ends up tipping over. It also means that the pieces scatter.
-The stickers started peeling off almost instantaneously despite my fastidious devotion to the directions.
-The other pieces also come off with little effort- the home base of the ramp comes off and the little door the car comes shooting through incessantly comes off. After having to fix the ramp so many times, it now pops off if you breathe too hard on it.
-The toy is ginormous! The base itself is huge, and because of the fragile nature of the loop track, you can't put anything else on or around it. If you have endless space to devote to this toy, maybe it won't be such a problem, but in a small apt, it ends up feeling like a large pile of toy pieces.

Overall, my children absolutely LOVE this toy so I have to give it credit for that, but it does require a lot of parental maintenance that I don't really have the time or patience for. There is an updated park with a simpler, non-looping track, but if the construction is equivalent, realize that you're going to be reassembling the toy on a constant basis.

Description of Little People Fun Park

Complete with its signature sturdy figures and easy-to-manipulate pieces, the Little People Fun Park lets kids discover all the excitement of a real amusement park. A steep roller coaster sends cars and riders into a loop-the-loop that really works, cars shoot out of a silly clown face, the Ferris wheel,with seats for three, really turns, and the seats on the airplane ride spin out farther and farther the faster it is spun. Plenty of good, simple fun with room for the imagination, this Fun Park is another great addition to the Little People series. --Jane Snyder
