I bought these blocks for my 5 and 7 year old boys. They love them! They make their own buildings and there's also a really cool website that my older one goes to and designs structures for us to recreate with the blocks. As a mom, it's hard to find something educational and fun we can do together - but this set manages it! The book is interesting for me and my kids - full of great info & pics - and the blocks are really beautiful and really high quality. Highly recommended!

This is the most unique, beautiful, and high quality building block set I've ever seen. My 7 year old even loves to read the book! It is full of kid friendly historical facts that correlate with the illustrations on the wooden blocks. He can build anything he wants, which he does most of the time, but the book also has instructions on how to recreate historial structures, which interested my husband! This is a fun and educational way for the family to spend time together.

I've purchased this toy for my almost 7 year old son and its a sensation!
These are a fantastic construction toy and highly educational because the book that comes along with the blocks includes a series of facts about architecture, architectural history and symbolism; the book has a child friendly design with bright illustrations.
As the perfect touch the book also includes in the last page a guide of how to arrange all the blocks back in the case!! As a parent you'll understand how important this is.
The quality and design of the product is very good.
I find it a great a toy for all ages (from 5-99, an Architect friend of mine is dying to buy one!), I'm personally delighted playing with it and I think that's the main idea, that parents can spend time playing with their kids in something both parties can enjoy.
My son loves it and he can follow the built ideas very easily.
It also includes an ID card that you can use on the product website (haven't visited yet) but I'm sure its worth seen it.
I highly recommend any of these ArchiQuest sets (they come in various sizes and themes, I purchased the biggest one). They are the perfect gift idea for parents that want to add more value into their kids play and also a cool gift for an adult.
Have fun Playing!
