My son loved the Planes characters and the puzzle is just challenging enough for him (he is 5). Good quality box and pieces.

I surprised my 11 year old son with this book after our family cruise.  He then surprised us with many towel creations on our beds at night.  There is a wide variety of fun animals to make.  My son is a master at putting things together and he felt this book was a little too difficult for kids.  He was up for the challenge and definitely enjoyed the new experience of "towel origami."

The graphics were really nice and colorful.  It was a little challenging due to the many similar horses, landscape and the brick buildings but not so challenging that it couldn't be completed in a day or 2.  The pieces were all there and they fit together nicely.  I liked that not all the pieces were the same usual shapes...it had the usual shapes but also some others that made putting the puzzle together more interesting!

I got this for my 11 year old son for Christmas.  I played with it before wrapping and its small size makes it even more challenging.  We have used the other larger Perplexus puzzles and we are big fans.

My 8-year-old son loves maps, geography, and puzzles, so I thought this would be perfect for him. I was a little worried about the difficulty, but the pieces are numbered, and he was having more trouble digging out the right numbers than assembling the globe. I helped sort the numbers into groups of 10 while he assembled it, and he had it assembled in no time. He loved it! A word of advice, though - it doesn't bounce. We learned from experience.

My 10-yrd old son did this with some help from me.  He loves 3D puzzles and this is probably the 5th one he did and so far the most complicated.  Some of the most difficult parts is forming the cylindrical columns which sometimes tend to unfold.  Also the roofs which you have to insert the 4 tabs is difficult to aim all 4 tabs in the slots at once.  Once we got them into place, I made sure to glue it to prevent being undone.

The art is really neat after everything was assembled.

Bought this on Woot on sale.

I got this for my 8 and 10 year old to play with and they were fascinated by it. Such a simple looking puzzle, surely it should be easy to solve! But it's pretty tricky even after you have learned the trick. They spent quite a while trying to figure it out on their own, and even after they figured it out, they'd go back to it to make sure they still remembered how it was done.

My 18-month old loves this puzzle!  It is challenging enough to keep his attention, but simple enough to avoid frustration.  The pegs are big enough for him to handle (unlike many other puzzles I've seen), and he could easily identify the objects.  In fact, it helped him learn to say the words "boat," "car," and "plane"!  I wish I'd gotten it for him sooner, although I think he will keep enjoying it for some time.  The wooden board and pieces are holding up remarkably well to being chewed and banged loudly on the table.

This game has been fun for both my son and now myself. It's entertaining and challenging at times even for myself. My son was unaware of this character and now loves watching the movie on Netflix as well. Would definitely recommend this game for all ages.

This is my favorite book of puzzles yet.  What a challenge!  Terrific for passing time away while traveling by airplane.

My son who is 9yrs old built this with some help from us. Its an excellent, challenging puzzle with 126 buildings and he loved doing it (over several days though). I gifted my son it as a prize and he wants more. The 4th dimension of time line is incredible!

Each piece in the first base layer is unique in terms of shape & color and needs a lot of concentration. It does take more than a day with breaks. The attention to detail in the buildings is applaud-able for such small pieces. They are numbered but its very tiny & does need a flash light or a magnifying glass. I've read people complaints about it being confusing & difficult, but they do mention clearly that its for ages 12+. Well its made for a teen, so they are constructed to that level. :)

They have corrected past few mistakes (streets) noted from the reviews I read earlier but now, they gave us two 103 buildings/ Millenium Hilton Hotel instead of 120- Barclay Tower building. In the plan, they mentioned building 56 twice (one was building 76), it confused us for a while. The West 59th street is written as East 59th street on the foam layer of the plan. The puzzle is so good that I couldn't resist from giving it 5 stars in spite of some errors.

I would advise to glue each piece while making the first/ base layer of the puzzle. Or you can fix the whole puzzle on a cardboard. Then put the 2nd foam layer on it. I hope they can provide a base in the kit itself.

I would highly recommend this product. My son is proud to display it. We all love it!

My 2.5 year old son got this for the holidays... he is crazy about this puzzle. He could put it together with some help right away, but now, he can even work on it independently. The colors are vibrant and the construction is durable. And, he really enjoys talking about the different insects pictured. This is a puzzle he wants to come back to again and again.

My son loves this game and plays it quite a bit.  However, one of his friends thinks it's hard to play/beat.

I purchased this at a brick and mortar teacher store for my kiddos to play on an airplane trip across country.  My 7 and 6 year-olds played them a lot and have since the trip as well.  My three year old enjoyed moving the pieces around.  You play by placing different shaped pieces on a playing board to make only the correct animals show.  There are many puzzles to match that are bound onto the book-like case.  The pieces are very sturdy and the magnets are strong enough to stay in place, yet easy to maneuver.  The case snaps shut and we have had no problems with it coming open even in the diaper bags, backpacks, etc.  I really enjoy this game for myself.  We also purchased the bugs set which is for 7 and up.  It is a little more difficult, but still doable for my kids. I highly recommend it!

This is a great, sturdy and colorful puzzle. My 3 year old son has already mastered the Melissa and Doug Solar System puzzle so this is a great and more difficult puzzle to challenge him.  This keeps him busy for a while and he quietly enjoys putting the pieces together. I highly recommend this and other Melissa and Doug puzzles.

I love these puzzle so much! My only issue is that it does not come with a big set of pictures for my 4 year old to look at. He struggles with putting it together without a picture. He does eventually figure it out if I help him set the corners so maybe it is good and is building tenacity, but I do still wish it came with big pictures for him to look at.
