We have had so much fun watching them build their home. They are busy little creatures! Worth buying. We ordered the ants and they came in 3 days all healthy and ready to dig tunnels! Less

My son just loves watching the ants, but we did beter getting wild ants.
The ones we bougth thru the mail. arent doing much and most of them came dead. The large wild ants were more active and fun to watch.
The ant case is great. Less

The ant farm has been worth every penny! It has been a hit for the entire family and guests that visit! Everyone is fascinated by the ants and the tunnels that they create. The ant farm is really clear allowing you to see the tunnels and ants very easily! I would highly recommend this product! Less

This ant farm keeps both our 3- and 7-year-old kids engrossed, not to mention their 42-year-old dad.

Received it as a gift for the kids. Immediately sent away for the recommended harvester ants (for a few bucks using the included form), which arrived a week or two later. Loaded the te...st tube of ants into the habitat without trouble, and watched. Within 24 hours the ants were tunneling, and a week later they're still going strong.

It's remarkable to watch the ants doing their stuff and almost as remarkable to watch the kids watching the ants. Read more Less

Only took the ants a few days to arrive. I think its a great learning experience. My son has had new questions everyday about the ants. Very neat Less

I got htis for my 2 year old girl who was facinated by ants outside. The gel is perfect since they can drop the ants and all is well. The top is secure and they can get it off )at least the little kids). She has dropped it really hard and it cracked but only visibly, you cant feel the crack and the ...unit is still just fine. She loves to carry it around with her and watches it constantly. Perfect gift!!! I ordered from life studies.com and ordered the ants for $5 at the same time, they came very quickly and all alive. I think if you ordered separately it would take forever and the kids would have to wait. They start tunneling within a day or so and is really cool to watch.Read more Less

My boys (3 and 5) love their new ant friends, and check in on them throughout the day to marvel at their tunneling success.My Dad got this for the kids and thought ants were included. They only cost 13 dollars and take about a week to arrive. Less
