Little Tikes Outdoor Playcastle

What child hasn’t dreamed of a time long ago where the lords and ladies of medieval time ruled the land by sword and valor? Bringing color to the imagination is Little tikes “classic outdoor castle” ready to defend the princess in distress. I love this play castle because it is great for boys as well as girls and is simple and safe.

The castle is not as big as it looks in the pictures in my opinion but I think that what appeals to the kids and it works for them. It is 58” x 50” and 51” high. It has nice stone design all over with the classic tower complete with a sturdy platform perfect for holding that princess until her knight rescues her. It has a small slide as well as a door in one of the walls. In weights 123 lbs and assembly is required to construct it.

The flaw that I see in this play castle is the size seems to be too small for more than a couple of children playing on it. That could be a plus if you wanted to instead assemble it indoor rather than outside since it would take up less room. It also was a bit tough to put together but if you lubricate some of the part before you snap then together it goes much easier. I guess the slide is a little small too. The pros are it is very sturdy, very solid construction looks like it will last a long time. I could see this being pasted down a generation. As usual Little Tykes did good job of making it safe, no sharp corners or small pieces to choke on.

Price

This kids outdoor playhouse ranges from $350 to over $500 which goes to show you that you must shop around since that is quite a bit of a difference for this item. Some may say the price is a little too expensive for this item but if you can get several years of fun out of it and it still should be in great shape to pass it on to a friend or another family member when your kids outgrow it. Long live the queen and her Castle!
