Our 5yr old is TOTALLY into animals and wanted an eco-friendly, animal rescue birthday party. So we had a travelling zoo come visit during his party while she educated the kids about abandoned or abused exotic animals & insects and for our obstacle course, we hung a disc swing from a tree and placed toy alligators on the ground for the kids to ‘swing over the alligator swamp’, taped pictures of Go Diego Go’s BO-BO brothers on empty plastic bottles and had them bowl with a soccer ball to knock them down. The HUGE hit (besides the zoo lady and animals) was this Giraffalaff Limbo. We had kids from 4-8yrs old excited to play this game. Unfortunately this was too small for the 7 and 8yr olds as they kept knocking the limbo bar off but the younger kids from 4-6yrs old LOVED it and played it over and over again. It worked exactly like it was supposed to and prompted a lot of smiles, laughs and giggles. There is a button that you push on the bar, then someone else spins the arrow and tells the crowd which sort of walk you have to try to do under the bar…ie: backwards walk, crab walk, crawl, etc. I still chuckle at the thought of my little one doing his ‘crab walk’ and ‘bird walk’…for his crab walk, he had pinchers for his hands and fingers and simply walked under, all the kids flapped their arms for the bird walk…some chirped, one jutted his neck out like a chicken…it was the cutest thing.
It SEEMS like the poles will break at some point because they are made with that hard type of plastic but so far, they’ve been knocked down, used as a toy gun, been stepped on accidentally by (little) kids and SO FAR it’s held up but I don’t see it lasting much longer due to the type of plastic…it IS loads of fun though and if you can get it at a fair price, I’d say to definitely nab it for a bunch of laughs and giggles. I do wish that it were just a bit taller though so older kids can play along with younger kids so we’d get more use out of it but it’s a blast for the younger crowd.

I would have to disagree with the previous reviewer. I just bought this game for the pediatric clinic where I work, and I am very happy with my purchase. It was easy to assemble–it only took me about 5 minutes to put 3 AAA batteries in and snap the pieces together.
As for the sound level, all you need to do is put a piece of masking tape over the speaker, and it will not be nearly as loud. I found that it’s just right.
It is a little inconvenient that you can’t pull the leg out of the base, but you can easily disassemble the other parts of the pole so that it takes up less storage space.
Since the bar is not very high, it’s definitely designed for younger kids (ages 8 and below). But if you incorporate various animal walks, such as bending over like a monkey, then you can include taller children. This is a fun game for children to develop dynamic balance. Just be creative, adapt the game, and kids will love it!

1) The Music is VERY LOUD with no volume control. Even my two preschoolers kept commenting that it was too loud!
2) The giraffe is not sensitive enough. He is supposed to laugh if touched by someone going under the limbo bar, but the only time he actually did was when the whole pole was knocked to the floor.
3) Once you set this up the bottom pieces can’t be removed from the bases. Thus, it can’t be stored in the box. It also can not be returned in the box. I am glad I bought mine locally so I can return it despite not being able to put the pieces back in the box. You’d need a really big box for return shipping if you bought this game online.
Bottom line: I’ll be replacing this with a $1 swim noodle, a couple of broom sticks and a good cd!

First I want to address the concern for the loudness. I too can’t stand these toys with no volume control but I find **masking tape** works great. This game needed two layers right over the speaker to quiet it down inside the house!
My son (4) enjoyed trying the different walks, although the pictures confused us as to what the difference was between two of them. At the party (4-5 yo) it got minimal attention but they certainly did enjoy knocking the pole over to hear the giggling and they could easily reset the game without adult help. That said, we didn’t try to orchestrate a limbo game, just set it out to be investigated. Playing with cars and trucks and throwing balloons was more interesting to them at this age. I left it out for a couple of weeks afterwards and there wasn’t more than passing interest. It’s now in storage for the next play date or party.

my 5 year old likes this game but it did not keep his attention very long. Once you assemble the game you can not disassemble it to put it back in the box to store it.
