Bought this for my granddaughter's 8th birthday because she loves playing with the Sylvanian Families windmill and gypsy caravan bought for my youngest daughter 25 years ago. Just shows how durable these toys are.
The Ice Cream Van is just as well made, but it was rather expensive, especially since you don't get the ice cream seller figures to go with it. She found the decals fun to stick on and the ice cream dispenser occupied her for at least twenty minutes. Beyond that, I don't think it will get that much use because it is rather fiddly and the play value somewhat limited unless you have the ice cream sellers themselves and enough other figures to make a queue.
