Have a 6 year old and 5 year old.  Bought this because they seemed to only be entertained by the smaller Fischer Price $300 range slides for an hour or so before losing interest.  Over the course of 3 weeks we’ve inflated this slide probably 10 times and they’ll spend 3-4 hours on it still having fun before we make them come inside.  They can’t get enough of it.  Pool on the bottom is deep enough to make the slide landing cushioned but also deep enough for them to enjoy playing in it several minutes between slide attempts.  If you’re in a similar boat as me with kids, don’t wait, invest  in this slide and it’ll pay for itself in the fun your kids will have.
