Thank god I didn't put off opening the box until Christmas eve. I just spent the better part of 3 hours assembling all the "big" parts of this thing. My wife or the kids can do all the little stuff later. There are a ton of little fasteners that need to be assembled so don't expect to put this together with a kid climbing all over you wanting to get started playing.

That complaint aside, it looks like this thing will be a blast for kids in the 4-6 year old range (and maybe beyond). Lots of little pieces though so watch it if you also have a baby in the house.

My 4.5 year old received this for Christmas a year ago and still loves it! She gets it out regularly, sets it up, arranging all the fences and animals (we have extras), and creates her own zoo. This toy gets played with more than any other toys we own.

There are a lot of small pieces and we have a place to store it where we don't have to take the main zoo apart for storage. It does take a while to initially set up, but then your child's imagination can take it over.

I'd love to see the faces of the thousands of parents on Christmas morning getting their first look at what is inside the box. The zoo is in about 1,000 tiny pieces randomly sorted into dozens of little bags. My first thought was that this was a practical joke. Now I think that the designer was simply sadistic.

Don't believe me? There are 144 little, tiny red connector pieces used to put the thing together. Not to be confused with the 64 tiny yellow connector pieces also used. Each flower pot involves installing every individual flower -- of which there are over 50. The pretend flood light (yes, they really have not one, but two. Not sure what it adds in play experience) are in five different pieces each. Were they drunk?

In fairness, I would add say that the IKEA style directions work pretty well and I put it together in about 3 hours. They also shorted me a tree, but I can't imagine my son will notice.
