My two-year old son received this for a Hanukkah gift and it exceeded our high expectations. Plan Toys and the Plan City items in particular are well-crafted toys designed for open-ended imaginative play and the airport is no exception. My son loves playing with the ramps, the baggage conveyor belt, and (most of all) the working elevator. I like knowing that the toys are safe and manufactured with an eye toward sustainability. We started our son's collection with the Plan City Road and Rail Deluxe and have enjoyed adding Plan City elements to the train table as he grows.

One more thing: a previous reviewer noted that the roof is made of foam. This is not the case with this item purchased December 2010. The roof, like the rest of the toy, is made of rubber wood. I'm wondering if this is the distinction between the "City Series" airport and the other Plan City airport available on amazon or if there has simply been a redesign.

I'll admit it--I'm a sucker for Plan toys. They are pricey; however, I appreciate that they are fun, educational and free of the usual chemical garbage that comes with most conventional (plastic) toys. Like all our other Plan playsets, this one is very sturdy and stands up well to the rigors of preschool play.

It is small, to be sure. I've noticed that all of the Plan city series toys are pretty little. However, this doesn't deter my kids from playing with them and it's actually fine with me because the toys don't take over the play room. (Note to Plan: It would be GREAT if you would make the country and city series toys the same size! It's no fun to have the giant farm set next to the teensy airport and parking garage!)

The roof on this one is made with a foam rubber-type material. At first I was concerned that this would be destroyed; however, it has held up quite well. The only possible issue is that the little wooden ramps do come off quite easily. My kids like this; however, if it bothers you, it's easily fixed with a little wood glue.

We got this for our nephew for Christmas and it was a real hit. It's rather expensive, but beats all the plastic versions of this kind of toy by a mile. We added a helicopter and an extra plane because it only came with one plane. In general, we love plan toys and buy them when we can afford to.

I bought this for my grandson. He seems to be enjoying it although he has only had it a few days. He loves all of the Plan City toys - especially cars and trucks.
