Grandson is really enjoying it and easy to use.

My 4 years old nephew got this as a "3 Wisemen Holiday" present and he has lots of fun with it. I had to explain him how it works then he was able to play by himself. He enjoy more to play launching the cars with the keys instead of the launcher pad. I do not recall seeing the lights and phrases were hard to hear (he didn't care); his mom comment that probably they will be louder once in home :-). It seem very sturdy and will last for months of play. I think it is for ages from 3 - 5 years old.
