Our 4 yr old granddaughter cut a picture of this out of the LL catalog and glued it onto a Christmas wishlist just for us. She was beyond excited to get this play set from us on Christmas! First of all: NO ASSEMBLY! Very little waste inside the box (just the little bag(s) for the mermaids and the box itself. All parts are attached. The set includes 3 mermaids and they can stand or sit (very important as figures that don’t stand are a REALLY big let down). Also, all sides have features so it can be played with no matter which side a child is sitting. She immediately began playing with this toy and never stopped right up until we left to head home. Quality, beautiful, sturdy toy that can be played with by more than one child simultaneously. Well worth the price!

My child has enjoyed playing with this toy a lot. It's very easy to set-up, so from unboxing to playing my child was very happy. One small critique that stops this from being 5 stars, is that the mermaid does not really fit in the clamshell bed when you close the clamshell, you have to move the mermaid to an angle. It's a minor call-out for a toy my child really enjoys.

My TK students absolutely love the Under-The-Sea Mermaid Palace! It’s simple and doesn’t come with a lot of pieces, but that’s part of its charm as the students end up playing with it for a long time and get incredibly creative with their storytelling. It’s a great open-ended play option that keeps young learners engaged and imaginative.

This play set has been a favorite of my children's for years now and has remained intact and engaging. This set complements Lakeshore's other playsets and provides hours of imaginative play.

It's an instant hit in our house. Our daughter absolutely loves it and plays with it nonstop. It’s colorful, fun, and sparks tons of imagination. We highly recommend it!

My daughter absolutely loves this set. It's such nice quality and will last a long time. I wish there was an option to buy more mermaids.

This mermaid palace was such a great hit during summer school, my theme was beach/ocean and this was a such a great hit! its very vibrant and my students really liked playing, big enough to share with a few students at once!

This mermaid palace is ideal for small hands with big imagination. The bright colors are so much fun and all the hidden nooks and crannies make playtime a blast. With two different slides, a working shell swing, a clam bed and a moveable telescope, the limit for your child's creativity is endless. All three mermaids are solidly built, with no fear of small removeable pieces.

This palace was a great addition to our classroom. Be sure to look at dimensions. It is large-which is great for multiple students to play at same point but a bit more difficult to store when not in use. Bright, colorful-love that it has 3 mermaids included. Easy to add items (i.e. loose shells, sand, shredded blue paper for ocean water, etc.) to enhance play activities. Sturdy, well built. I would recommend product.

This item seems very sturdy and offers a variety of places to sit the mermaids for pretend play, including a slide and a swing!

My daughter got this for Christmas and absolutely loved it! It's great when you actively play with them and also entertaining for play time alone!

This toy is super fun! My girls love making up stories with the mermaids and under water setting.
