Our Review of the Pacific Play Tents Tunnels of Fun Super Set
Kids can grow up pretty fast. One day they’re just starting to crawl, and then you’d be surprised to see them zooming around the living room.
The speed of how fast kids grow is one reason why I don’t spend a lot of money on stuffs that they will outgrow soon. When I spend for something, I make sure that it’s either sold at a reasonable price or my child would be able to use it for a long time.
Imagine how happy I was when I saw the Pacific Play Tents Tunnels of Fun Super Set. It’s being sold at a very good price (much lower than other play tents of the same quality) and I’m sure my kid can use it for the years to come.
What I like most about this play tent is that it got tunnels so my baby can practice crawling through it. I first saw this at my 10-month old child’s play group and decided to get one right away. When my child grows into a toddler, he can always play in the tent and in the tunnels too.
There are a few things that I noticed about this product. First, I noticed how great the materials used for this were. I noticed how easily the wires used on other play tents bend. While the ones used on the Pacific Play Tents Tunnels of Fun Super Set also get bent, you can always straighten it again with no problem (which is impossible with other brands!)
I also noticed how it’s much bigger than the ones showed on the picture so you better have a place for it. If you don’t, you can always store it away every time your child is done playing. It’s not that hard to do and it perfectly fits back into the box it came with.
The only thing I’m not entirely thrilled about this play tent is that the tunnels don’t have Velcro or a way to secure them into the center piece. It’s not a problem when you have a young child but I’m worried when my child gets older.
Overall a very great product and highly recommended!
Here are some customer opinions about Pacific Play Tents Tunnels of Fun Super Set:
Bought this on a whim for my kids – 8 through 18 months. All of them have a good time with it. They love the tunnels as well as the tents. Each piece is easy to set up and break down to store – yes, even the tents! Amazingly, it fits back in the box it came in! I have purchased Playhut products in the past and this product is so much better. The material is WAY better – it’s thicker and the “spines” won’t bend upon every touch like the Playhuts. My kids have been very unforgiving on this product yet it still looks like it just came out of the box. Would I recommend it to friends? Absolutely! The tunnels may accomodate up to an average sized 6-7yo – my tall, thin 8yo can still get through but with added maneuvering. He fits in the tent no problem though. Be ready for it to take some room in your home though – it spreads out pretty wide. When I set up the junction and the tunnels, I was ready for velcro fasteners as that has been my experience in the past but this set doesn’t have any fasteners – rather you just stick the tunnels into the holes and surprisingly it holds together. We have been very pleased with this set, no regrets.

I first saw this toy at a play group where my 10 month old son played with it for a bit. Once he got the idea of crawling through the tunnels he loved it. I came home and ordered a set for ourselves. Firstly, this is by far the best price for this set anywhere and secondly, we have sooooooo much fun with it. My son loves crawling through the tunnel and playing peek-a-boo. My husband and I will often play with him and we all have a great time. I am so glad I bought this set and would recommend it for new crawlers and up. The other good thing is that you don’t need to set up all the pieces up to play with it. Right now we use only one tunnel most of the time and occasionally bring out another tunnel and the center piece. I can’t wait to take it outside in the summer. As my son gets older we’ll use more pieces so it can grow with him. No fancy bells and whistles, just plain old fun for everyone.

The tunnel-tent system is fantastic fun for my 1 and 3 yr old boys. The only hitch is that it is ENORMOUS (adults will fit easily!!). I was expecting little tents, but they are really big. So, while it swallows my living room, they have a blast. My only beef with this toy is that I wish the tunnels, connector, and tents had some way of holding together – like with a little piece of velcro or something. My boys are not exactly “delicate” with their toys so I am constantly putting the whole thing back together again as pieces go flying across the room. We took it outside on a warm sunny day recently and it was a REALLY fun outside toy too, of course. Overall, I highly reccommend it.
