I bought this for my 2 year old for Christmas. He liked it until he realized that with very little effort on his part, the tower came tumbling down. After that, that's all he did. It only played 2 songs which really irritated us. I don't see any educational value in watching a ball bounce down stairs. All in all, we were very disappointed.

I bought this based on a great review in the Oppenheimer Toy book I bought. I am very disappointed! My daughter is 11 months old and with just a bit of a nudge, she's able to knock it over and it comes apart and she loses interest. She's not even interested in playing with the balls that came with it - not to mention there's nowhere to store the balls so they just end up at the bottom of our toybox anyway. Wouldn't recommend...

We have 2 Ball Party sets from 4 yrs ago and my 5-yr-old still likes to play with them. We got Symphony for our 1-yr-old thinking it would expand our set of interchangeable, build-it-your-way Ball Party parts. Big disappointment! They have made the balls and tunnels larger, so the new set doesn't fit with the old. You can only build the Symphony tower one way, so it is no longer a construction toy. My 1-yr-old does like to drop the balls and watch them go down, but why pay $35 for a toy that only does that?? And it has an annoying feature that the sound keeps coming back on after the child has crawled away, forcing the grown-ups to hop up and turn it off. Look around for the non-battery-powered older sets, or get a pound-the-ball toy instead for less than half the price.
