This is the most played with toy in our house. The tunnels and cubes give it limitless possibilities. The ball pit is the biggest hit with the kids and with us, also. The "door" to the ball pit zips shut to keep them all in. As with most items that have ball pit balls, there are not enough included but we added a box of 100 balls and it was perfect for the kids. We have children ranging in ages from 10 months to 10 years and they all play with this toy. The older kids enjoy shooting hoops with the balls and chasing the younger ones through the tunnels. The younger children seem to enjoy the ball pit and tunnels the best. Whenever anyone comes over to our house, this is the first toy they go to in the playroom! The best thing about it, though, is that we can easily pop it down for when we need to move it. We recently painted the playroom and it was the easiest thing to move in there. We have had other playhuts in the past and they all last a long time and through many children. Much better than plastic or inflatable models. Well worth the money for the use you will get from it.

I, like many other reviewers, had a blow-up ball pit. It was a huge hit and lasted 6 months before developing a hole which I could not find, yet caused considerable deflation every two days. I did consider getting another blow-up, until I read about everyone complaining about the hassel of blow-up pits getting holes and their inablility to quickly take down/move them. I also thought that the Megaland would encourage more physical and imaginative play for my 2 and 3 year old boys and help keep them busy and active all Winter long. I've only had the Megaland play center for about a week, but I am very happy that I chose to get it. The flexibility it lends in easy collapse and compact storage is terrific and the quality seems fine. I also like that it can be taken apart and rearranged in numerous different ways. This is done with changing simple velcro attachments. This will add new and greater interest in playing with it. I am glad that I have the 100 balls from my old ball pit to add to the 50 which come with the Megaland-though I have not used them yet. If you are particulary interested in having "ball pit" play then I feel it is essential for you to purchase an extra 100 balls. The 50 balls that come with the Megaland are not nearly enough for a "ball pit" enjoyment.

The Megaland by Playhut is excellent for little folks. It is durable and can take the wear and tear of cowboy and indians, space adventures to the princess in the castle. It has been turned over, stepped on, kicked, pushed around the floor and sat on by my year old son. My five year old and 3 year old have taken it a step further than the baby by making this playland their make-believe area. The balls are awesome because I get to keep them clean and they are very safe. It has been great for rainy days or when we can't get to the park. I have different pieces in different rooms. Since you can add on pieces I am going to invest in more tunnels. But you definately need a big play area when the entire megaland is set up.

My 14 month old son loves this toy! He uses one tent for a "reading room", one for the balls, and one for his baby instruments. He can play independently for fairly long periods of time in his personal space. He loves to play catch with the balls. This is worth the money, and very durable. I think he will play with it for a long time.

Our 15 month old twins love to play hide and seek and love to chase each other through the tunnels. The netting is fun to see each other through. They play for hours and always come up with ways to go in and out of tunnels. Love the product.

This is a great toy. My 1 year old and 3˝ year old boys love it. The big tent has a zipper flap so that parents can crawl in with the kids . . . something my boys love us to do. The ability to change configuration is very nice. Once the boys stop using it, it is folded up and put away in 5 minutes flat. After a few weeks, we bring it out and it's like a new toy all over. My oldest gets intimidated by large groups of people and uses this as a "safe area". It is open, yet gives him a sence of detaching from a crowd. I highly recommend this toy! You may want to spring for the extra balls. The ones included with this toy don't really fill up the big tent. All in all, very well worth the money. I'd recommend it to anybody.

This play area is great. My daughter at 1yr doesn't tire quickly with this. There's alot to do and she loves the balls!

I was pretty sure this was what I wanted to get my daughter for her 2nd birthday, but I was totally amazed when I brought it home. It came in a relatively small box, and with out the balls it would fit into a box that is only 3 inches thick. This is very easy to assemble. I think it took me a total of 5 minutes, and there are a bunch of different configurations you can put it in. My daughter, husband and I can all fit, although going through the tunnels is a squeeze. We have a blast. One thing I recommend is getting another 100 balls. It adds to the fun!

I was a little concerned ordering this - it got great play-time reviews, but not so great fold-away reviews. We have to be able to fold this up as we have a small house. With others' cautions about correct folding in my mind, I carefully opened these when they arrived making sure I paid close attention to how they were folded (I put my enthusiastic 2 year old in the shipping box with the 50 ball-pit balls to play). After watching how they're un-folded, I can easily get them re-folded. Also, they don't have to be folded all the way down in order to be storable - we do the first fold (flat) and put them behind our couch. Also, David jumped on one and it looked mangled, but I was able to twist the wire back to it's regular position - you'll see what I mean when you order this. The play-time reviews were right-on! David loves everything about this wonderful play system.

I have 3 kids, a 5yr old son and twin 2yr old daughters. Recently we went to visit my sister in Canada. She had just purchsed a small ball pit for her 4yr old son. It was a perfect toy for him, but not so great for four kids. They were fighting over it all weekend and we had to make them take turns, 2 at a time. When we got home our son nagged us for about a month to get him a ball pit, but we wanted something our girls could use too. After a few weeks of looking we found the Megaland. It has plenty of room for our kids and their friends, we have actually had 6 kids playing with it at one time. My son had a sleep over in there too. It takes a lot of abuse from our children and is still good as new. If you have more than 2 kids, I would tell you to get this instead of a smaller one. Also if your kids have lots of friends this is perfect. One more thing, if you don't have a large room in your house, you might need to make this an outdoor toy. We have been using it on the back porch for now, but in the winter we plan to keep it folded up in the twin's room when it is not in use.
