Highly recommend
Absolutely love this. It is a great gift for families, friends, or extended family. There are so many different options if games/activities for a variety of ages and interests. It came with everything needed and was so easy to set up. I love how it doesn't require any remotes to actually play the games. My 3.5 and 8.5 year old loved it. My 1.5 year old also enjoyed trying to copy along with his sisters. Nex playground is a great way for your kids to stay active, have fun, and laugh together. Definitely recommend this to families with children.

Welcome to the Playground
I cannot recommend this Playground enough! We had a busy household this Christmas with kids of all ages, including my 4 year old autistic nephew. Watching him play was the highlight of our Christmas… the interactive nature of the games actually helped him practice patience & waiting for his turn in a way that felt like fun rather than a 'lesson.' It’s rare to find technology that encourages physical activity instead of just staring at a screen. We spent hours on the pre installed games before even touching the Play Pass additions. It’s tiny yet very sturdy, easy to set up, and truly inclusive for the whole family. By the end of it all, my nephew had the remote and everyone else needed a time out! Best Buy hit it out of the park with this one!

Everyone Needs One!
We received our cube super quickly. Easy setup, and overall our whole entire family loves it! Our 5 year old is able to navigate the system and pick games and the settings all on her own. We definitely recommend this game system to those with young children!!
