Recently bought this for my nephew's 11th birthday (although he's more like a teenager already!!).
Not the most grateful child in the universe but this went down a storm and considering the price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone on a tighter budget wanting to purchase something to keep an (older) child entertained. The only downside was his poor mum had to spend the rest of the day inflating the balloons because he couldn't and wouldn't put it down!!!!
