This was a Christmas present for my 5 year old grandson. He loves it. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because at first, one car always won. After my son adjusted the bottom of the cars where they get power from the track, it helped considerably. Unless you are savvy enough to do this, the inequity could be a problem. Also, for a child who is young, it requires an adult to assemble the track. I still would recommend this race track for beginner level racers.
