What age is Penguin Race appropriate for??

I would say it's appropriate for ages 3-8 or so... The penguins are little, so it's not the best for little ones who stick things in their mouth. My almost four year old loves it and even my 10 year likes it (but she adores penguins, so that may be why).

I bought these for my 3 year old granddaughter, and she did fine with them. I am not sure what "listed" age was, but if the child is out of the "put everything in your mouth" stage (8 months -2 years) you should be okay...we didn't use ours as cake toppers, they were just toys she played with while watching the show; she kept them in her purse ;-).

We have had up to a 13 year old girl run the course. I allow up to 4 kids at a time and haven't had any problems! This was a mixture of ages 4-12. Great house!

I think he/she would really enjoy it! It runs best on a hard surface; OK on short carpet. For best results a large open area is needed to really open it up! Not for outdoor use. Box says "Not suitable for children under 3. I got it for a 50 year old kid that takes it to a care center for the old folks to race around with and they love it! Have fun!!!

I do not think so; I think the "strategy" part is too complex for that age. A three year old could find the animals and put the chips on the board and be excited about favorites and the special cards etc.., but the actual point of the game will be lost on a three year old in my experience.

Our family loved the game but my niece is 18. There are a lot of pop culture references that are older so its harder for young kids to get clues like "Neil Diamond". Don't let it stop you because we can bridge the gap. I am thinking 10 and up!

Yes, the concept of the game is fairly simple and it is a collaborative game versus a competitive one. I would put the bottom age range at about 8 years old, whom should be able to easily pick up the rules and what to do

I'd say 8+. Maybe 10+. Kids younger than 8 will have problems. Adults will enjoy as well.

In terms of the educational value, you're probably pushing its limits at 5.5 YO. However, I suspect 5-8 YO may enjoy just pedaling on a game regardless of its educational value.Your biggest concern will likely be the physical limits for the game. I've read a number of posts that indicated that 4 year olds with "long legs" had difficulty pedaling comfortably, even with the seat set at the "tallest" setting. I suspect an 8 YO would be at greater risk for this limitation....

Age is officially 8+, but personally, I believe it could be any age as long as you like a good puzzle. No choking hazard unless you take apart the cube to lube it up, which not many people do unless you know what you are doing.

I am not sure what age recommendation was on the box. We bought it for our 3 year old son and he loves it. You need to put it together for your child but my son likes to build his own simple tracks with it. I see older kids playing with it as well. My husband really enjoys it as well. I will not recommend this train for kids less then 3. Overall we really love it! My husband bought some extra tracks and another train, connected them together. Lots of fun!

We have. 3 year old ( about 30 lbs) and 2 year old (25 lbs) that we run with. We had no problems as far as weight issue. So you should be fine.

Our 4 year old nephew flies on it downhill. We also have a 26 year old brother who races our boys (ages 11,12,13). I would say any age above 3. You can always keep them on flatter terrain until old enough to go fast.

I bought this for my 4 year old grandson and it seems to be age appropriate for him. I would not recommend any younger and would not go past 6. that's just my opinion. hope this helps.

sorry about the delay, busy life. there is no age listed but I'm giving noahs ark to my 3 year old granddaughter. I also bought the tree full animals and another full of birds. Using these as decorations for Christmas with seven dwarfs and snow white as a theme. The grandkids love them.

It would be good for that age. Our grandson used it at that age with the peddles locked & loved it. By the next summer we unlocked the peddles & he could peddle himself.

I'm not sure about age recommendations. My son was 19 months when he started
