Well, lo and behold, we found this tent and it is just the ticket! This tent is colorful, sturdy, stimulates the imagination, and can accomodate 3-4 children at a time easily. We have had two adults and a 4-year-old in there at the same time comfortably, so this product is good for older children as well. So many play tents are really for the preschool set, but this is wonderful for elementary-age children as well. It is easy to set up, and can be used inside or outside. We are very pleased with this purchase! Rating: 4 / 5 My son wanted a castle tent for Christmas, and I figured Santa might be hard-pressed to find such a thing.

I like the bright colors, and the height and size are perfect. My 4 year old can stand inside in the towers, my 2 year old can stand anywhere inside. All 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids) can fit in easily to play games. Pretty good fabric quality - though I'm not sure about outdoor use. <br /> <br />Extremely easy to set up - took about 15 minutes. Love the roll-up flaps at the windows and doors. It has clear plastic peep holes in the towers that lets light in (and for the Big Bad Wolf to peep through and evoke squeals of laughter). For safety, it has mesh on top and at the windows to allow air in, and the zippers are two-sided so that my 2 year old can get himself out when my 4 year old zips him in! <br /> <br />We put it in the basement and they have moved in their stuff. We put it on top of a puzzle rubber mat so that there is some padding at the bottom. We lay the stakes down under the mats and connected them to the tent's loops through the creases in the puzzles - thus "grounding" the tent. Works great. <br /> <br />The only negative is that the flags on top remain rolled up, but I guess I could wet them and press them flat if I want to spend the 5 minutes to do so. <br /> <br />Overall we are ALL (the little pigs and the wolf too) very very pleased with this product!

It's sturdy enough for outdoor use, though I'm not sure it would stand up to real camping. Perhaps so, with a bit of seasoning... Anyway, it's a fun tent -- great for kids to have a clubhouse, a sleepover, or just play inside it! Rating: 5 / 5 My granddaughters LOVE this tent!
