This toy is great for younger kids ( 2 - 5 yrs)Not to mention a lot of fun for my husband and I to play along with our 3 year old. It's nice because it's light weight and you can easily move it from room to room or even outside without any real effort.

I got this for my son last Christmas when he'd just turned 3. He loves to toss the ball into the basket, or throw it into the baseball and yell "Homerun!" It is good for gross motor skill development, and I love that it folds FLAT to store easily, or you can even fold it into a circle that's about 8" in diameter and has a case for it and the plastic balls. It is easy to take on vacation or to grandma's house and always gets a "hooray!" when I bring it out. It is worth buying if you have a toddler or preschooler.

I thought this was a great toy for my two grandchildren who are 2-1/2 years old when they visit me. What a big disappointment. The balls never return to me they get stuck near the opening. When you throw them at the openings with the flap they never go through because the balls are to light and the flap stays in place. My granddchildren enjoyed climbing into it and just playing with the balls. I folded it up and returned it.

I hesitated to buy this because of some poor reviews, but because we have a Playhut tent that's taken tons of abuse well, I decided to take the plunge on the Playhut Sports Arcade.

I'm a bit of a quality snob, and my biggest fear that the structure would be unsturdy and cheap was calmed once I figured out that the "legs" toward the back needed to be stabilized by simply hooking a button into a loop on the rear of the arcade. The arcade's lightweight build probably won't withstand repeated or heavy abuse, but my young kids were crawling underneath it, stepping on the ramp, and bumping into it with no visible harm done.

The arcade stood and balanced fairly well, but most importantly, the kids had a blast throwing balls into it. I was surprised how such a simple, low-tech concept kept them occupied and focused for a good stretch of time. Even better, it seemed to keep them entertained equally, despite their age differences (ranging from 2 to 6).

The balls were a bit cheap and cheesy (they are those lightweight "ball pit" balls), but they work well enough. I'm planning on buying some raquetballs and small playground balls (2.5") that should work even better.

I got it for my grandsons 2 and 3.
They enjoy dunking balls,blocks,anything,and mom likes the easy storage.
Grandpa likes to play with it when he comes over.

I purchased this product for my twin grandsons on their 2nd birthday. At first they just wanted to climb in it, over it, under it, and on top of it. Once big brother showed them how and where to throw the balls they caught on quickly. In about 5 minutes they can put it through a lot of abuse but it just springs back to shape. It is very durable and their 9 year old brother enjoys playing with the toy and teaching them how to use it. It folds up and stores in small spaces. I highly recommend it.

I bought this for my son's 5th birthday, and he and his 2-year-old sister played with it for 30 minutes nonstop. We then used it as a birthday party activity, and it was one of the most popular activities we had. It's great fun -- kids can toss, roll, or shoot the balls, and they can make up their own games or play the ones that are intended by the toy. There's no better indoor activity on a rainy day!

One of the greatest features is the ability to fold this flat for storage. It simply slides behind the sofa in the family room and is out-of-sight until we want to play with it again. And although I haven't been able to figure out how to fold it to its smallest size to fit in the bag it came in, I'm not worried about it -- it's very easy to fold flat. It's also very easy to set up -- it simply pops up, and there is a small button-type latch to fasten that prevents it from collapsing.

This is one of the best toys for the money I've ever bought.

I got this for my grandkids, ages 2-8. They have enjoyed playing with it and I like that it is easy to put up and take down.

My preschool has a children's (2-5yrs) halloween carnival every year and we are always on the look-out for something new for the children to do. This was rated "the best" by the children! Since the game is a 3 in 1, the children had fun with the varying difficulties and I have a toy that has great portability, easy storage, and is self-directed.

This toy was fun while it lasted. It never stood up as nice as the picture shows it was always falling over and you had to prop it up against something. The kids liked it but my husband and I did not. They were always asking us to fix it! Wouldn't recommend. We only had it for 9months and it was sent to the trash after it ripped.
