Have you used it as a ball pit? If so, how many balls did you need?

Yes! We have had this over a year and it is just now reaching the point where we are going to have to replace it. I think we have 500 balls which is great for the main pool (at the end of the slide). Our 30+ pound toddler jumps on the sides like a trampoline so I'm not surprised we have a leak.

yes, i brought the 100 pcs Fun Ballz and didn't fill up the pool. Hope this help you. Thanks.

I bought 300 and they don't even cover the floor. I'd say easily 900. If I did it over again, I'd buy a variety of large and medium balls.

Absolutely. Bought this for my 2-year old twins as a ball pit. Mine is under inflated so that the twins can get in and out on their own. Also another user is correct, you need a lot of balls. I have 1200 5.5 ml balls in my ball pit.

Well, the pool I got was pretty big. Considering that I don't think it would be too practical. If you have a smaller pool I would imagine you could fill it up with about 5 bags maybe. My daughter enjoys the pool with the bals now quite a bit and sits in it batting the balls around and throwing them. Actually I'm glad I didn't make an effort to fil up the pool as surely she would have them all out and scattered around the living room within about 10 minutes.

I think it wud be small as a ball pit. It doesn't have so much room to play. I got this for my 1yr old baby & she just got enough area to just sit and play.

No the sunshade isn't really sturdy we had to anchor it with rope and a stake. But it would make an awesome ball pit, thanks for the idea �

200 Is A Great Amount For One of The Small Size Plastic Pools (One That Is About 3 - 4 Feet Across)Anything Bigger And You Will Most Likely Want More Balls. We Had 200 In A Small Plastic Pool, Kids 1 - 7 Coul Run And Jump In With Out Knocking Many Balls out

Not very many. A little box of them. We blew threw them pretty quickly, best to order or buy some to have ready when it gets to you, no sense in slowing down the fun and games

We bought this last year...there was no ball pit! We did purchase balls from Target for very cheap, and used those. The ball pit is perfect for indoors!

This picture has one less rung than ours but we put 1000 in ours for our 3 year old. You could use less depending on your child's size. Mine is tall so we had to have depth to avoid hotti the bottom. We bought balls at Wal-Mart for I think $10 per hundred.

We have 400 and that's a good amount to get up to the level of the doors. There's not too much spillage with just my daughter in there, but when I climb in too, a lot of balls that fall out. :)

I have one and I laid a piece of carpet in the bottom which helped give it some stability and keeps the balls from bouncing off the hard concrete. I like mine.

Yes but with an additional 150 to 200 balls. It keeps my grandson busy. Be prepared to have balls all over the place. I give it 4.5 stars out of 5.

I bought a bag of 300 and it wasn't near enough, that barely covers the pit with 1 layer. We switched to giant foam blocks, it is easier and softer.

no I have not, but not a bad idea. when it gets all the gumballs out I will give it a try. I use this machine at home, me and the kids like having it here.

I burn wood, duraflame, craklin flame, dirty wood...etc...A great pit for the money. I use 1 to 2 times a week and more in the summer..i recommend a cover though

As a matter of fact, I purchased this originally as a ball pit for my son. 200 balls fills it up about half way. 300 may be a little more than what you need, but it should fill it up near the top if you do. I didn't go higher than 200 because of the nature of what kids will do in it, displacement is inevitable.
