Ant Farm Village
Fun and educational - If you want to know anything about ants, just watch them!! I love ant villages, but they need to be made of a stronger plastic - for handling purposes, but mostly for shipping purposes. I also wish they made the village buildings & trees able to snap out nicely - since I would love a more natural look. Overall I would recommend this farm to children of all ages interested in watching how ants live and work together.

not worth it
The sellers note said minor damage to packaging but there is also damage/cracks to the dome where the top locks on and cracks on the sides. Definitely not break resistant. After some added gorilla tape it's working well but not worth the $50+ I paid.

Could have been better built
Adequate for larger (5mm to 10mm) ants, but definitely inadequate for smaller ants. There are just too many holes and gaps for the ants to escape (and not just the air holes on top), though admittedly the instructions said the container wasn't made for small ants. Disassembling the village to get to the accessories was somewhat difficult and resulted in some damage to the inner cylinder, though not enough to allow the sand to leak out. The portion with the farm buildings was purely decorative and otherwise has no function. I also found there really wasn't enough sand to fill all the containers to their recommended levels. I did not mail away for the ants so I cannot comment on that.Overall, I found it kind of deficient in overall construction and parts. In comparison, Geo Safari's AntZone was better constructed with more accessories, though Uncle Milton's has the advantage of being expandable.

A really amazing toy!!
My 7 year old son got one of these for Xmas. We sent for the free ants, they arrived a couple of months later. These ants are so fascinating! They just keep working and working. My son has all his friends amazed at the tunnels, how little they eat and drink. I plan on buying several of these to have around for Birthday presents. You won't be disappoint with this item.

Fun for a few days but thats its
We got the ants, followed the instructions etc. The first few days my son enjoyed it. They really dug tunnels and worked very hard. But by day 4 they just started dying off. At the end of the first week all the ants were dead. If they could have just lasted a little longer I might recommend this product but its just a waste for a few short days.
