I have purchased 5 of these! They are a big hit with my grandchildren. Now everyone has a set or two at their own house. The older ones 7-9 are creating their own designs.

AWESOME for a change of scenery!

This fort builder has provided so much fun on cold or rainy days when we need an indoor activity. We actually ended up buying a second set to make bigger forts, and it's been great. The directions are a little confusing at first (the way the poles have to fit into the red pieces), but once you do it correctly once, it's like riding a bike. My five year old loves to help, but definitely cannot put it together on his own. But he loves to play in it, watch movies, draw, play monster, etc. Great purchase!!

A toy for years

It's probably 2 years now that our kids ages (now) 9, 7 and 5 play with is igloo. Awesome toy to be creative, come up with a plan together, try different design, etc. Highly recommend!

My daughters ages 6 and 9 enjoyed this for Christmas. In the past year, they have built numerous forts to sleep in. We did buy two kits so they could be larger. This is durable and hours of fun!

Fun to crawl through

I sent 2 sets of the Ultimate Fort Builder to my grandsons for Chanukah. Dad had to help them build the forts. I'm not sure who was having the most fun! It's permanent home seems to be in the basement rec room where it's mostly long covered with blankets. The boys will make an obstacle course and include crawling through. They occasionally take them all apart and make new configurations. They do it on their own now.

Perfect for hours of creative play

We have had this set for several years. It has held up fairly well with fairly rough play on the items. My kids have used this to make many different types of forts. I would say kids below age 6 need some adult help because it can be tricky lining up the holes. Overall great toy!

Hours of creativity and fun

I purchased a set a couple years ago and my grandchildren asked for another set because they build forts all the time
