Fisher Price Imaginext Batcave

My kids were so excited to hear that we were selected to test the Imaginext DC Super Friends Batcave. When the toy arrived they were thrilled. It comes in a very impressive large box with lots of exciting parts to look at. While I was dreading the unpacking, it all opened up and came apart fast with little waste – I love toy packaging that is recyclable and doesn’t make the environmentalist in you want to cry.

My son loves the Batcave it is like a doll house for boys. He enjoys sitting in front of it and making Batman chase Robin through the various features – swinging him on the ropes, through the twisty door, spinning around on the top and launching the grappling hook! It’s all fun and the play lasts for ages – this is not a quick 5 minute adventure. Batman ends up saving our other toys too and since we live in a boy/girl twin house my daughter’s dollies and animals end up being rescued too.

On the Fisher Price website the toy is filed under boys but don’t let that stop you getting this for your little girls. My daughter loves it equally; she’s into the superheroes too.  Imaginative play themes of rescuing and adventure excite and engage her as much as any regular dollhouse or pony. The set is also a nice size – many toys designed for 3+ have itty bitty parts. The accessories in this set are just the right size they did not immediately end up lost down the vents.

The Dad in our life was also in love with this toy. He was seen “cleaning up” several times after the kids were in bed! It’s great to find a toy that is exciting for parents too. This was not our first Imaginext toy – we already had the Imaginext DC Super Friends Batmobile. The great experience we have had with this toy and seeing the quality in person has meant we will definitely check out the rest of the Fisher Price Imaginext Toys and see what other sets we'd like to add to our collections. 

As busy Mom I found the best feature of the toy to be the fact that it closes up and all of the pieces can be secured inside. With the handle on the top it can be carried upstairs to a bedroom or outside on the deck for playtime – wherever the fun is required. 

It has enough pieces to keep things exciting, while at the same time being an easy enough number to keep track of. The portal door that opens and closes is the favorite spot in our house and has Batman and Robin swinging and getting trapped/freed constantly! The Batcycle has been launched through here a time or too as well!
