Great Adventures - Pirate Ship

Pros: Scurvy dogs heading to sea. Harrrr!
Cons: Is this really good for our kids?

Pros: Easy to put together, lots of activities to do, very durable
Cons: Ship could be a bit larger

My son was 4 years old when he got the Pirate Ship for his birthday, he's now 5 1/2 and STILL loves it. (Though he can't understand why we can't put it in the bathtub!) He plays in his room, and reinnacts the perils of the "mighty seas"...
