    Gift for an 11 year old grandson who put it together quickly. The younger grandchildren (and I) had so much fun playing with it that I bought it back from him. Weeks later it is still an attraction and has held up well to frequent use.

    My child enjoyed this one! She says it was so much fun and very entertaining. She learned to troubleshoot and fix her mistakes.

    This was a really fun one for my son! He was even more excited about the additional projects from the TinkerZine - but in the middle of a pandemic, it would have been really nice to have gotten the few needed bards and minor other materials that would have been needed to complete the TinkerZine projects, since we're specifically trying to not run out for non-essential things :-/

    Very neat! Enjoyable to assemble, fascinating to put in motion
