Tunnel Fun
Bottom Line

So much more than just a ball pit, this set will keep little ones busy for hours on end. Unbeatable value for money.

Takes up quite a bit of space, however, the ball pit and tent can always be used separately.

There’s not much that’s more fun for little kids than a colorful and bountiful ball pit for them to jump around in. These make a great toy to keep kiddos busy and entertained, and also to tire them out. When finding the perfect ball pit for your little one, there are a few items to consider. For instance, think about whether or not this ball pit will be used outdoors, and whether you would like one that shields the child from the sun. Additionally, consider the safety features that the pit includes. Finally, you’ll want to consider additional features such as a basketball hoop or tunnel for added ball pit fun.
