Editorial Review

When your pets need to let off a little steam, this Whirl Around pet playground has something for every energy level. At the tippy-top is a wind-up tree house swing set that twirls two pets on swings and two more riding in the tree canopy. A curvy slide sends pets zipping down to the bottom on a sled. At ground level, there is an obstacle course that kids can race pets through using the sliding lever and a merry-go-round that spins three pets at a time. For pets that need a rest, an elevator takes them up to a second-story café or a hammock suspended between the two buildings beckons them for a snooze. All pets are fitted with a magnet in one foot, which allows them to hang onto the sled, swing, merry-go-round, or obstacle course and roots them to the hammock and other perches throughout the playground. This playset comes with two pets—a puppy with sunglasses and a mouse—and several accessories, including a bed, sled, and food dish. When play is done, this set folds up for storage or to travel to a friend’s house. --Cristina Vaamonde

My 4 year old daughter absolutely loves these pets, they go with us everywhere. I saw this toy and knew she had to have it. It comes with an adorable mouse an dog. It has a slide with the magnet so two of their pets can slide, a merry go round, a race with a tunnel, also a wind up carousel(which is great because it requires no batteries). It has plenty of room for all of your childs pets to have a great time. It snaps together very easily and is built very well. The colors are gorgeous as always. If your child loves these pets this one is a must.

Hi, I've collected these toys since early this year.
I turned 12 in August, and this toy was the only thing I would like.
And I got it! And this is the only toy I play with, it's also good for space, too. I do have the playhouse, the salon and the doggie caffe, but I have so many pets, that's not enough space! So when I got this toy, I was very pleased because there's so much space! I love the pets too, because they're the right size to put in your bag and your pockets.
I don't think this is just a playground, I use it as a house for my pets. Whenever my friend and her 6-year-old sister come around, well, my friend isn't a problem, but her sister is, she brakes everything, but with this toy, nothing brakes at all!!! Not even the pets heads come off!!!
All the pets can have a race, and you can choose who will win.
The pets can have a snack in the caffe, and then they can go down the slide - weeeee!!!!!
Then, I agree with another kid, this is my favorite too, you can put four pets on the treehouse, then wind up the round-about, put another pet in the middle of the treehouse, then around they go! Then , while they're up there, they can get a cool view of the sunset, and they can take a nap under the stars!
This cute set comes with:
The playground, of course.
A food dish!
Some flags for the race!
A cozy bed!
Cute sun glasses!
A SUPER CUTE puppy!!!!!
AND AN EXTRA CUTE MOUSE!!!!!
I love this set, and I hope that you will too - I recommend this playset to anybody.

My daughter is known in our family for her strong affinity for puppies and kitties. She prefers to play with any animal-related toy over baby dolls, Polly Pockets, and Barbie-style dolls. I was absolutely THRILLED when Hasbro (re)introduced them this year (I think the now-defunct Kenner used to make them). They were a much bigger hit with my daughter than the My Little Ponies, mainly because of the variety of animals. She literally spends HOURS playing with this set, and all of her little animals. We recently moved, and then had to evacute TWICE due to hurricanes, and every time, I made sure that we had this set packed for her to play with at our destinations. This playground is a much more successful design than the Celebration Castle for the ponies (which was huge and never stayed put together). This has different zones of play (merry-go-round, wind-up swings, slides, etc) and both was easy to put together, and hasn't broken/or fallen apart. It doesn't require batteries. My only complaint (and this would apply to most toys in this style, ie trains, dollhouses, etc) is that they are big(ish) and take up space. I have set up a table in my daughter's room and she leaves this out all the time. It is easy to disassemble and store (but much easier to play with when it's out). I would highly recommend purchasing a bin (or two, or three!) to store all the animals, accessories and other sets in, as they have lots of little bits and pieces. I found this set to be the most used and enjoyed set out of all of the Littlest Pet Shop "buildings". I would recommend purchasing additional pets- usually the set only comes with a few, possibly just one depending on the retailer. I consider this to be my first choice toy for Nana to have at her house when my daughter goes to visit. If your child is an animal freak, I can't recommend this enough. I chose to rate this a "3" on educational value, because there's no reading, memorization, arithmetic, etc. This is strictly pretend play at it's best. Thanks for reading my review.
