Intex Fantasy Castle Play Center

Great! Even I read no so good reviews, I took the risk, as price was on sale! It's was packed correctly, good and save! We blow that one time and it's stood 1 months without any problem, didn't let air away! Good size, children was happy! Now we packed it for the next summer! Simply 5 stars!

I bought this for my 1.5-year-old grandson and he absolutely loves to play in it. He loves to spray me and (anybody around) with the dinosaur and run through the water. He loves the spear and shield and uses the shield against the water, loves going down the slide, although it does need to be wet for him to slide down. It is bright and colorful, He will play in it for hours. I would definitely buy again!

This little pool is pretty big and my daughter and kids absolutely loved it. It's a little annoying how you have to blow up lots of different parts, but that good thing sbaoht that is in the even of a hole there is better chances of finding it. Secondly I love the dragon sprinkler that comes with it- was a huge hit. Very very cute, the lance and shield are unnecessary as my kids already tried beating each other with them but cute!

The kids (ages 3 and 4) absolutely love their castle and the dragon and "sword" and shield that came with it! When we first got it the we couldn't use it outside or fill it with water because it was cold and rainy so I blew it up in the house and they played in it for hours. They eventually fell asleep in it! Once we were able to take it outside it became even more fun for them. They have a blast in it! It's holding up well and hasn't lost any air since I first filled it despite daily use and a dog jumping on it a couple times. I also love that it has a plug on the bottom for easy draining.Update 6/23/15: So we've had the play center for almost 3 months now and the castle is still inflated and doing well. I've had to add a little air to it a couple times since we first blew it up. Everything is still holding up well!*update*: A couple weeks after my last update, one after another, everything began leaking and wouldn't hold any air. First it was the shield, then the dragon, then finally the castle. At least it was fun while it lasted...

This is a joke setting up there are 12 places that need air to fill... the base is impossible to keep filled while trying to put the plug back in so its always partially deflated.. The slide sinks down so its useless. The dragon/ sprinkler won't stand up so its useless. I would return it but my daughter still likes it. But I will be buying a different one when this finally deflates all the way. I won't be taking the time to try and blow it back up. :(

Of course anything new for my kids is cool but they seriously love this thing. They won't come out of it. At first I was confused with how to blow it up. And there are a lot of different things to blow up. there is 15 spout things. We haven't put any water yet. Still a little too cold but so much fun inside! This is great for my two year old and ten month old.*update - finally got warm enough to put water in.... There is a hole where the bottom of the slide is sewed into the bottom of the pool. Sucks because this is so cute

While I enjoyed the theme and playful design of the castle and the cute dragon character sprayer, I was very disappointed in this product because it is basically a one summer use. The whole bottom, walls and towers are all one pocket and require a great amount of air and time to inflate. Our castle had a seam that leaked, so we had to keep inflating it everyday before our son could swim. The slide was neat, but the bottom supports did not inflate as much as they should to keep it from leaning, which is a bit precarious for toddlers who are not totally apt at balancing themselves on their own, as they climb.Also, there is not an easy way to get all the air out of the pool once you are done, which makes it diffacult to dry and store for use later on.

The boy loved the castle. For the price you pay and what you get with it, id say its a good deal. I have a few complants about it. First it faded like crazy after a few daya in the sun. Whatever its made out of is on the thin side. It only lasted 2 weeks before i had to patch it. Same with the dragon. My 2 year old decided to drag the dragon 20 feet accrossed our concrete pourch. And just that fast. Dragon down!!!!. Im sure this could have been avoided. If i made him keep it in the yard. But honestly. I didnt think it would happen that fast. It a great pool. Its cheap enough to just buy for the summer and get ride of it. Mybe i just got a bad one who knows.
