I bought this toy for my 4 year old son for Christmas. We've been able to use it inside with a limited amount of water on the floor from splashing, but think that it will get most of it use this spring when we can set it up on the outside porch. It is very well made and easy for an adult to assemble. A small child would not be able to set this up on their own. The yellow connectors are a little tricky to assemble and it is important to get a good fit so you don't have any leaks. This set takes about 2 gallons of water so cleaning up was a bit of a challenge at first. You can't just pick it up and dump it. I purchased a small boat bilge pump for under 3 dollars (which is a great toy in itself) from a hardware store along with a good sized sponge and was able to pump out most of the water and sponge up the remainder. My kids have a great time with this toy, so its worth the little work on my part. It has become a favorite.

Very well made - we have not experienced any leaks. We were even able to do it inside, although you may have some splashing, etc. and drip water on the floor. We did it on a tile floor so it wouldn't be a problem. One of those great toys that are just plain fun as well as being educational without you really knowing it.
