I received this product as part of a review program. While the GeoSafari Ant Factory seems to be a great "toy", it's more a learning tool. This would be perfect for a classroom but not for an everyday parent. While the price is reasonable, after you buy the set up, you have to go to a specific website (they have information inside the box for it) to buy ants from them w...

Excellent for Older Children
The Educational Insights GeoSafari Ant Factory provided an excellent summer science experiment for my children. I don't believe this should be left within reach of younger children as my kindergartner nearly knocked this over several times in his excitement while supervised. Overall my children were extremely happy with the ant factory and had fun watching the colony gr...

Awesome!
This was an awesome experience for my 5 and 7 year old boys! Even their dad and I were sucked into watching the ants hard at work! You can easily see all their tunnels. The only downsides to this were 2 things. First, it took about a month for ants to arrive from antsalive and that was frustrating, although they eventually made it right. And second, instructions say to ...

Very neat to watch
My daughter is all about insects and animals so she has loved having her own ants to watch. This kit is very durable and easy to use, watching your ants is very neat. Actually getting the ants from the suggested site took a while and they were all dead on arrival the first go around so had to reorder. The kit itself is very nice, would definitely recommend.

Fun to watch
My child loves bugs. I really thought it would hold his attention much more than it actually has. The ants were active, but they didn't actually make as many tunnels as I thought they would. Overall, it was fun to watch, but really we just watched them eat. We did share with my child's teacher and we should have bought more ants. Which we are willing to try in the comin...

Fun and Educational ant factory
This ant factory is fun and sturdy! It was cool watching the ants move around in it. The only complaint I had was the company that you can purchase the live ants from. I ordered them and they took FOREVER to get to me and when they finally did they were dead. I just caught some of my own ants and put them in the factory.

Wobbly base.
Our base for the ant factory was very wobbly. I was always so nervous it would fall and ants would get everywhere. So far it hasn't and we've had it a few weeks. It is very cool to watch how ants act and my 6 year old is very entrigued and shows me new things everyday.

Entertaining Ant Factory!
The Educational Insights GeoSafari Ant Factory was sent to me complementary for testing and review purposes however this is still my honest review. It's engaging for most age ranges. The children love it. They will count the ants they see, they will try to predict what direction their tunnel may go next, and so much more! I definitely recommend this over other ant farms...

Easy, fun and educational
The Educational Insights Ant Farm was fun and educational. We had to wait a few days for the ants to be delivered, but they were free to order. There is a coupon included with the ant farm. It was very easy to assemble, abd there wasnt much of a mess. I did keep it on my porch, because I was a little uncomfortable having ants in the house. My daughter is 12 years old an...

Fun for kids!
This is a great way to show the life cycle of ants. It took about three weeks after we ordered our ants for them to arrive. We quickly filled the ant farm with the sand provided and used the hole maker to make their tunnels. We added our ants. I wanted to give it a few days before reviewing so that I could give an honest answer. It's a little scary knowing how dangerous...

An awesome Ant Farm!
This ant farm is great. The kids are really enjoying watching the ants build tunnels. I'm even having a good time watching it! The ants quickly got to work once we put them in their new habitat. By the next morning, there were multiple tunnels. This is a great educational gift for kids. I definitely recommend it.

Such a neat learning accessory
My 5 year old daughter has been very interested in bugs lately so this was a perfect activity for her. She was just thrilled to watch the ants build their tunnels. It opened many conversations about nature and how ants are so strong. We have this on the kitchen table in a spot where the whole family can see them hard at work. I'd be lying if I said the parents didn't fi...

Great for learning
I loved it. It is really fascinating to see how fast the ants started to work and make their way down which ended up creating their small tunnels. My family totally enjoyed watching them. I like the fact that this ant farm came with the sand. The box is quite durable and easy to put together. It is just a good educational tool to maintain the whole family entertained. T...

Kids Love It
My kids and I really liked setting this up and having it in our home. It's fun to teach them about ants and how they tunnel. They like being involved in the process. I wish there were a funnel of some sort to easily pour the sand but I was lucky enough to have two on hand. It's a bit long to send off for ants but we also had those available. Overall, it's an interactive...
