K'Nex Amusement Park Experience We bought this for my 8 1/2 year old son for Christmas and he just loves it! He build the pirate ship and scrambler and then decided to start the rollercoaster. He was able to change out a few pieces from the smaller projects and now has an amusement park set up in the play room with 3 different rides going. The only reason I didn't rate it a 5 is that he is disappointed he can't build ALL the rides at the same time. I don't think they would need many more pieces to accomplish that. A great set for a child who enjoys building and figuring things out for themselves!
