LEGO Friends Beach Amusement Park 41737 Building Toy Set, A Technical Project for older kids Ages 12+, with Spinning Carousel, Wave Machine and Shooting Gallery Game

I ordered this for myself (aged 68 living in the UK) as I thought it would be a very interesting build.... but I also bought the same set for my 7 year old granddaughter in Australia from a shop local to her. Both our sets were delivered on the same day and my granddaughter was straight into hers, so I was playing catch up with the promise I wouldn't finish before her. We had a super time building together even though we're on opposite sides of the globe. She found the instructions easy to follow and only had one little problem with the placement of a brick so we worked through it together via a video chat. The last bag we built at the same time (rather a very late night for me due to the 9 hour time difference) and we completed the build at the same time. Then we had a good play with the figures and all the fun things they could do at the amusement park. She (and I) thought all the moving parts were super fun and well designed which made this a really great set. The only thing she commented on was that there would be more rides at a theme park so I think we will have to challenge ourselves and add a few more 'attractions' Building this set together was a moment to treasure and reminded me of how I used to build Lego when I was 7 years old with my dad.

This Lego Friends Amusement Park was so much fun to build! The part usage was great! Using Technic pieces and making the attractions all move simultaneously was very enjoyable. Of course because it's Lego Friends, you can count on awesome color schemes. The seahorse, turtle and dolphin were fun to put together as they are really different than the other seahorse, turtle and dolphin builds. This set has 3 mini dolls. One or two more would have made it a little more fun. Overall, the build was a lot of fun and is great for presentation and play!
