I had one of these as a kid, and remember having a lot of fun with it. This Christmas, I gave one to my 5 1/2 year old granddaughter, and one to her 7 1/2 year old brother -- and they were both fascinated with them! They played with them for at least 10 minutes, before they opened the rest of their gifts. I had as much fun watching them enjoy the gyroscopes as I had playing with them myself as a kid. What a hit!

This toy was everything I expected and more! I knew I wasn't buying the most expensive one I could find, but this one turned out to be a better quality than I expected. The extra bonus was I could buy a package of two so I could share.

I was very disappointed with this toy. One of the pins at the end of the flywheel broke very quickly. We haven't used the second unit yet as my grandson in only 3 years old and doesn't have as much interest in the toy as I expected. Maybe later. Also, and I can't prove this, but I remember my originnal gyroscope, back in the 40's being larger and I remember playing with it a lot with no quality issues. Today, some imported items are made very well, in my estimation, but this was not one of them. Be advised to spend your money on a toy of better quality. Too bad Fisher-Price doesn't make gyros.
