My daughter got this toy for Christmas and generally it's a lot of fun for her. She likes the music and the balls popping up, even my husband gets in on the playing action but I hate the fact that the balls go flying all over the place and I am forever hunting them down. It's not a toy that my daughter can play with while I cook dinner because the balls go everywhere and then the "magic" is gone. Also, we sometimes have the balls going back up the ramp instead of out the top. I'm not sure I would buy it for someone else given the balls going everywhere.
