I got this toy for my 1 year old daughter's christmas. She loves it, especially the slide and the see-saw. It is good for all ages as it has different things for different ages.
There is a clicky tree top and squeeky nest for younger kids, then the slide and noise maker in the water area.
It has different areas with picture stickers to teach older kids about different habits and what animals live there. It could be very educational. The only fault ive found is that it doesnt come with the monkey on the box, it comes with a gorilla instead, and if the gorilla is used on the cave, it must be pushed down completely otherwise you get the lion cub noise.
Also, i was glad when i noticed that there is a handle on the top of the zoo. This makes it easier to move it round, which can be very useful with such a bulky toy.
It has lots of features and is very sturdy, but i think at £40 it was over priced, so was glad when i saw it in a sale. Also, i have had a lot of difficulty finding extra animals. Boots was out of stock of individual animals since atleast October 2011 and when i decided to buy the safari truck i found it out of stock since atleast November 2011. Boots was the only stockist i found with reasonably priced accessories (£3 for figures + £20 for truck). Hopefully the accessories should be more accessable in the near future.
Overall, when bought at a lower price, this zoo is very good for buying a younger child as it should be played with until they are 3+.
