    Great castle for kids
    My son is really into animals and dinosaurs and I thought this would be a fun new thing for him for his birthday(5). He loves it! His sister (7) plays with him and she loves it too.I think if you buy it for a younger child it will not hold up. It is thinner than most doll house types. My other son (2 1/2) is too young for this type of toy without supervision. I could see him destroying it.I bought the Papo knights and horses for this and I debated for a long time about getting the bigger Papo and Schleich( 3.5-4)inch characters and ultimately decided to get the smaller figures (less than 2 inches) because of expense and figured I could always gradually add bigger pieces.But honestly the small ones fit really well. It makes it look more like a real castle when compared to in size and the figures are able to fit under all doorways and along the castle halls. I don’t regret my choice one bit.We love it. Highly recommend!

    5.0 out of 5 stars So Much Fun!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this for my son's 5th birthday, and I was so excited about it because I knew I would play with it too! The reviews were awesome, and the price was great, so I didn't hesitate. I'm glad too, because we've only owned this four days and it gets played with constantly by my 5 year old son and my 2 1/2 year old son. I purchased several Schleich knights, horses, dragons and a catapult to go with. They are a little too big, like some people mentioned, but fit perfectly on the balconies and tower tops (and they are superbly beautiful little action figures, I'd like to add). They don't fit through the trap door that goes into the dungeon (which has a sliding jail-type door by the way), but my boys have some tiny ninjas that fit the bill.

    Sturdy, beautiful, fun. This is a great toy for boys and girls. I even bought the Papo queen, because I figured the knights would need a damsel in distress to rescue from the dragon, but unfortunately they haven't learned the act of chivalry yet and they chase her around the castle trying to kill her, as if she were a bad guy. But we'll work on that.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dream Boy Castle
    Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    We bought this for my 3 year old boy for Christmas and my boys now 10 and 5 still enjoy playing with it. I put it away in his room and somehow it ends up in my family room constantly with star wars guys, knights or race cars in it.
    The castle is durable, nice wood with lots of cool rooms for hiding guys. It folds easily into a square. Guys can stand at the top of the towers. The draw-bridge broke, but we can still get the door open and closed.
    So many imaginary play toys such as this are geared for girls, pink or doll houses, so this was a great find for my boys. Educationally, as a speech pathologist, I think this is one of the greatest ways of encouragaging speech and language development through imaginary play. (If you do have a girl, they make a pink version of this castle).
    The Melissa and Doug kings/queen set is cool for this toy. We have also bought the more expensive knights sold at Target/Fat Brain toys which also fit into the castle well.
    Great toy for the money. I shopped around and saw different sized castles and prices and felt nothing compared with the quality for the price. We have enjoyed it for 2 years!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic 1st 'Doll House'
    Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    My elder daughter (3 1/2), kept begging for a Barbie dollhouse for Christmas. I figured a doll house was in order - but I didn't want something overly pink, plastic-y, and related to a specific 'brand'. I wanted something she could use to play with whatever dolls she had on hand.

    I first spotted the pink, princess version of this on Amazon. I got the 'boy' version for 3 reasons. 1) It's more like historical castles (Neuschwanstein aside), which makes it more educational. 2) She'd never seen the pink version, so she wouldn't care, and 3) it has a jail. She LOVES stuffing her toys into various 'jails' (I don't try to analyze why).

    She has LOVED this toy. She and baby sis (age 1 1/2) play with it every day for hours. It has become home to many Disney princess figurines, Happy Meal toys, random small puppets. You name it - if it even remotely fits in the castle, it takes up residence.

    One CON is that some of the openings are SMALL. Toob knights (up to 2") fit well anywhere. The Disney princesses (which range in size from 2" to 4", depending upon what set you get - Buyer Beware, they're really not standard across their figurine sets) are larger and can get stuck. Belle, for example, with her huge skirt, can't go very far, while the slimmer Mulan hides out just about anywhere.

    This also means that the kids can get their toys stuck easily, then wanted mom to come free the toys. Be prepared for cries of 'the jail is full! get the toys out, please!'

    Overall, however, this is one of the BEST toys we've ever gotten. We also bought a set of M&D wooden blocks, which have quickly become stables, out-buildings, bridges across the towers, stairs, you name it. If I only could buy 1 toy for the kids, it would be a toss-up between this and the M&D wooden blocks. The best thing about this toy is that it's fun for mom and dad to play with, too. I spend a lot of 'floor time' with the girls when this castle is out.

    Of course, now, I'm totally eyeing that M&D pirate ship so the princesses can go on more adventures. ;)
