I bought this for my nephew who is seven.He almost fell asleep watching this.Because thats basically all you do.You sit and watch these animal talk all throught the game.Kids get to click on bushes to see animal run past,or to look under rocks for the things on a list they are given.Thats rare in the game when the kids get a chance to actually do something.If your kids can sit through almost ten minutes of dialog in the beginning then this is for them.If they are like most kids and want to get into the game right away,this is not the game for them....

not a very good game. kids will be bored and the old i wanna another game speech will come. i dont hate it im just saying it could have more options and more play to it. im 10 so im outgrown from this game but when i play with my brother he dosnt seem entertained and he goes crying to mom and saying i want this or i want that so im stuck playing it.if you want a game that your child will sit and play then let me suggest fisher price dollhouse or fisher price pet shop. if you want the outdoors and outdoor animals then ACUALLY go there and see it instead buying it through a one-day-worth game.

This terrific software teaches about outdoor animals and activities, and is very entertaining while doing it. It's a great gift to the child that is overloaded with all of the techno-junk bombarding kids these days ... give a child a different perspective and give them this super software!

My four year old loves Ranger Trail. It is slower paced than other chase and shoot em up games, and that's okay. He has other games for when he needs excitement, but sometimes you just want to learn things! Ranger Trail encourages paying attaention, looking for detail and memory. My child picks up loads of cool nature tid-bits. Today he said "Daddy, owls are nocturnal - that means they come out at night."
Some folks may find this lame, but I still believe my four year old isn't so jaded that he can't listen to a ranger tell him about nature and still feel some wonder at it all. Paul gives it four acorns!

My daughter received this game as a gift a couple of years ago, when she was about four. It was the first time I left her alone while the game was installing. I must have gotten busy, but she never called me for help. When I went to check on the install, she told me she was already working on her second "badge!" That's how user friendly this game is. The activities are entertaining enough that she still, at seven, pulls it out every once in a while to earn all of the badges again. This is one of her favorite games. She is now in second grade, reading above the fifth grade level. I don't know if this game has played any part in that, but I know it's still fun for her! I highly recommend this game to parents of 3-4 year olds.

My 3 year old son started playing on Camp Wonderoo when he was two. He now knows all of his constellations and has retained an incredible amount of information about wildlife. He's asked if we can take a bag when we go out walking to pickup trash because there are "a lot of Spikes" (the skunk that dumps litter in the pond). Perhaps the problem is the age recommendation of 4-7. I think it would be very slow for a 6 or 7 year old but consider this the best learning software we've bought so far and am looking for a more advanced sequel.
