The media could not be loaded. My daughters are over the moon with this Lego Friends hospital - it makes a great addition to their existing playsets and similar to the other larger Lego Friends builds, this one is also full of little details and fun features.The build itself is easy to put together. There's 2 pictorial instruction books inside - one for the helicopter and a thicker one for the hospital. Each page is very simple to follow, with just the addition of a small amount of bricks at a time. My daughters, aged 9 and 14 managed to put this together without any problems.The overall build is quite sturdy - we had no problems transferring it to a different room after building. The bricks are of the usual excellent quality you'd expect and they hold together well.The hospital is full of fun rooms, ranging from a maternity ward and an x-ray room, to a prosthetic clinic - there's also a vet on the lower floor!There's a rather cool working lift with a glass look front and a helicopter pad on the roof too.The hospital comes with 5 figures, 2 baby figures, a dog and a little medical robot, so even if your little ones are new to the Friends series, there's plenty in this set to keep them busy.Overall it's a fun, detailed playset that provides not only a fun building experience, but hours of imaginative play :)

Who doesn't like Lego, unless you have just stood on a piece in stocking feet!This is a huge set at a pretty large price to boot, however, having purchased a lot of this product for our son in the past, with him having grown out of Lego, how better to give this as a gift is to our great nephew, who we have already introduced to the magic of lego construction. It is not just the finished product with Lego that has value in my opinion, it is teaching young children how to both interpret and work with of ten quite complex tasks to produce an end result. Even now at 69 years of age, when I look at Lego diagrams I sometimes scratch my head and then set about solving the problem. It will be no different for how our great nephew at 7 years of age will address this and if I am lucky, I will be called in to assist him.So why is this worth 5 stars, it does come in at a hefty price of just short of £90.00? First of all, it comes in bags for each component element of the overall structure which for our purposes will be handed out one pack at a time, along with the relevant plan and once complete, move onto the next bag. We intend to give it to him for half term and hopefully with an adult he will assemble each pack before eventually completing the whole project.Lego is timeless, it is incredibly flexible by nature and from my experience is virtually indestructible. Sadly the structure which each pack is designed for are often broken up to become part of a huge mixture, but once again Lego demonstrates its flexibility permitting young and sometimes older people to design their own projects.It isn't cheap but should provide hours of enjoyment and a sense of satisfaction as each part if built.Fantastic toy.

I loved this lego set. I'll be honest, this was a bit of a surprise for me. I build lego a lot with my nephew, it gives us something to do when I look after him and he usually loves it. He is 8 years old, and honestly, he wasn't that excited about this set, I could kind of tell. But once we'd actually built it, he changed his tune a fair bit. I was kind of the same to be honest. The Lego friends line of models didn't really hold a great deal of appeal to me just from the box, but once I started making the different rooms in this set, I could see it has bags of charm and fun. All the printed details, the computers, the little rooms, even the bathroom, I just thought it was all really charming, even more so than the Lego City stuff, which is sort of along the same lines as this, but more traditional. There's also a ton of cool little moving parts, the little elevator, the helicopter. Super cool and my nephew had a great time playing with it once it was built.As far as the build goes, very straight forward. The box says 7+ and my nephew had no problems at all. There wasn't really any challenging parts to it at all and I think 7+ is totally fine and fair. Overall this set has really changed my perception of the Lego Friends line, I will probably build more with my nephew now, as even though they look a bit different from normal lego, it's all the same when it comes ot building and actually, the cool printed bricks, which there seems to be a lot of in these sets, totally give the models a fun look. Really good set, loads of bits to play with, loads of cool unique bricks and loads of fun.
