This kit is a fun and challenging model to put together. It took my 10 year old a little over an hour to assemble. It comes with a neat little tool to aid in punching out pieces, which was a handy, helpful thing to have.

We did a trip to London last fall and I've been looking for a cool display piece every since to commemorate it, but most Lego sets and such are too small or not detailed enough. This guy takes up a good pop of space and has the big ticket items that we saw while there.As to the puzzle itself, it was fun, moderately challenging, and able to be finished within a few hours. My 8yo helped by popping out a lot of the slots. It's not nearly as fragile as I had initially thought, so having her help was just fine. The directions are pictures, Ikea style, but very doable. Anytime I messed up I was able to figure out where my mistake was pretty easily.I'd love to see this same set done for other cities, esp Washington DC. Or even just a generic Zoo set would be nice. If those came out, I'd buy them for sure.

My husband and I have been to Paris. It's one of our best memories together. He had a stroke and has since retired. I got this to try and stimulate him to do something other than watch TV all day. It took him a while before he actually opened it. But once he did, he was hooked. He works on it every day! It helps him to use his mind - think about what you're doing, associate the pic and the pieces, use your hands and fingers more to get the pieces out and put them together and the pride of having done this nice thing himself. It's like home therapy done during and at his leisure. I just started doing and like the wooden puzzles. But this is perfect for him. The pieces are strong enough for him to pop them out without breaking or tearing. The assembly is easy using the picture directions. I highly recommend it for just plain entertainment and fun. It's great during Covid and during cold winter days when you're stuck inside.

I bought San Francisco. It’s a beautiful and cool puzzle, but I would not expect a child to put this together. The pieces are very delicate and not quite sturdy enough, as I still have some pieces falling apart a bit after completing it. I bought it for my 13 and 6 yr old to work together, but I feel like it’s more for an older teen solo or adult. It would require some type of spray glue or reinforcement because one topple over and things might be a little messed up.

Kudos on the quality of the puzzle. I've put together 3d puzzles similar to this one. While you do have to be careful with some of the pieces, it is less fragile with better piece fitting than those other puzzles I've put together. The directions are a bit unclear in a few places, but you eventually figure them out. The lights are a nice touch. I plan to modge podge the puzzle so it'll hold together permanently.

It produces a lovely model of New York City and it’s easy to build. I recommend it

We had a great time doing this puzzle. It is both fun and challenging. I was surprised at how sturdy it was. Great price point too! I did this with my 6 year old son. It’s a little too advanced for him to do on his own, but he had a great time helping. He has already requested another skyline for his birthday.

I gave this to my 7 year old for Christmas after he became obsessed with the I survived 9/11 book, and it was a hit. It took us a few days to complete. He did need some help assembling some of the pieces, but he was careful and did most of it on his own. It has a little pop out tool to help with small pieces. The set had several famous landmarks and even 3 little cars to go with it. It seems good quality foam cover pieces with nice details. Even after some pieces were accidentally bent while assembling (like the needles on the skyscrapers, they still stand straight. The only problem we had was the Statue of Liberty at the end, because her cloak didn't wrap around her and ripped when we were trying to fold it over. I would still definitely recommend to anyone who loves architecture and puzzles. I will probably get another for my daughter who really got interested in it while her little brother was building it!
