We received this from a friend whose son was done playing with it. Our son was about 2 months old at the time, however we waited to put it out till he was 6 months old. It keeps him occupied for a little while, but he quickly becomes bored with it and starts trying to pull it all apart. He likes the pond the best, which happens to be the biggest pain of this toy. It is hard to fill, even harder to empty and impossible to dry out so we're always worried about mold! It is alright, but I wouldn't recommend paying the price for it in the stores...
