My one year old son loves his train and animals, and this is not annoying like most battery-powered toys. Also, even though our first koala doesn't work right, online customer service was superb and is making it right (and then some) with zero hassle for me. Clapping and dancing from the little guy, and two thumbs up from me. see less

We purchased this zoo train for my nephew's first birthday, along with the zoo, some animals, and the safari truck. Honestly, the only reason we bought it was because it was the only way to get the white tiger and koala figures, but it is also a nice addition to the zoo. My nephew also has the St. Patrick's Day and Easter trains, and does seem to prefer those to this one, although that might be in part because he is totally confused by the ferris wheel, even when we move it for him. He also doesn't seem to understand that he can push or pull this one just like his other trains. Personally, I do think the other trains seem to be made of sturdier plastic and it's harder to tip them over than this one. My nephew does like the sounds that it makes when you push down the engineer's seat and I think he will probably play with it more when he is a little older. For now, it's cute and gives him two more animals to play with. see less

This piece of the zoo talkers set is not as sturdy or durable as the rest of the zoo talkers pieces. Also wasnt impressed that that the white tiger says the same thing as the orange. It doesnt even recognize they are two different pieces. This piece of the set was only bought to get the koala bear. But the rest of the zoo talkers set is great!! see less

I'm guessing this is Fisher-Price's version of Action Canyon. Finally... a fun, quality track set that holds up to use and doesn't fall apart if you sneeze. The pieces all fit together, snap securely and won't just fall apart with use like the Zip Zoom set. The elevator is awesome and takes a train plus one train car down, don't think anything longer would fit. The train can also go back up but you have to manually pull the elevator lever up on the back of the elevator for that. No problem...my 3 yr old figured it all out on his own. I also like that it has a track splitter so you can connect it to another track, which is what we did. So, for those who have been really disappointed with the quality of Fisher-Price's track sets like Zip Zoom Logging Adventure and The Shake Shake Bridge, you will not be disappointed in this set - sturdy... great quality... Fun... GET IT! see less

Great set! My 4-year-old ... see more

Great set! My 4-year-old son loves this set. This is one the few Trackmaster or train set that works both forward and backwards. It can up to the mine and back down or up to top and ride back down. We might purchase another one just because of the versatility and expandability this set offers. My son can operate and interact with every part of this set and loves watching Thomas travel up or down. We are to put other sets with this one to make more paths for Thomas and the other trains to go through. It durable and relatively easy to put together and it can be used with the glow-in-the-dark tracks. Although this set could have come with glow tracks, it still gets two thumbs up! see less

My soon to be 3 year old son LOVES Thomas. I bought him this set as his first track because he has so many motorized trains I believed it was time to get a track! Well, he loves it, however he gets frustrated during operation. The tracks become loose during play so you constantly have to check behind every 5-10 minutes to make sure it hasnt come loose. The Thomas train that comes with the set...well that is really the only one you are suppose to use, the others get stuck, or just dont really operate well. The mine shaft that slides up and goes down on its own sometimes falls by itself. He keeps on playing with it through numerous "Uh-Oh Mommy". It is personal preference really. The set is plastic and it is designed for the 3 plus age so....what should you expect right? I recommend waiting until they are on clearance or discounted is not worth what I paid for it. see less

My son received this as a Christmas gift in 2011 when he was 21-months old. He has played with it daily since then! The set folds up quickly and easily to be put away and taken back out again daily. My son gets very excited when his grandparents buy him a new train to add to the set. I also like that the set is made so that you can add additional tracks if you want to. see less

We got this set for Christmas and we LOVE it! It's a special toy we take to [...] to keep our toddler happy - best he's behaved in a loooong time! It folds/unfolds easily, fits two trains inside, small and easy for him to carry. We all really love this set! see less

I have bought today Take Along Tidmouth Tunnel and it is a complete disappointment as once the track of the tunnel is connected to other tracks and an engine gets onto the tunnel track there is no way out except to back th engine out of there. The engine will just drive in circles otherwise. my little boy was so sorry he couldnt get thomas and his other engines out. i am wondering if it is done that way because the designers have made a mistake or is it on purpose? I will definitely try to take i back (not sure if possible as i have not preserved the box). see less

Our son received this when he was 8 months old-6 months adjusted for prematurity-and has loved this toy since day one. Now that he's on the move and his coordination is even better, he loves to push the train around and spin the top of the train. Every time the "riding on the train" song comes on, he begins dancing...he just loves it. As a parent, the songs can get a tad annoying, overall we enjoy it as well. We like that there is the music and the alphabet setting and that the train goes all the way through the alphabet one letter at a time as well as through the ABC song. This is one of our guy's clear favorites and well worth the -modest- price tag from our experience. see less

My son got this for his first birthday and he really likes songs and lights. It sings the ABC's when you move the wheel on top. It's easy for him to operate...he just presses on the green horn button and the toy activates. When he pushes the toy it'll either sing a song or go "chugga chugga...choo choo". I like that it has two modes, learning and singing mode. Learning will do the alphabet with examples and singing, well, it sings! Simple toy but one of his favorites. see less
