A great present for any age! . I bought this as a present for an older family member, because she loves bugs and had always wanted an ant farm her whole life. Since she'd never gotten one, I decided to bring out the kid in her by presenting her with this as a Christmas gift last year. She mailed away for her ants in the spring and was so excited that she set the ant farm up days in advance so she could put them right in upon arrival. She was like a little kid! I never thought I'd see an adult so mesmerized and excited by such a simple present. It was fantastic. She even made it a centerpiece in the living room. Strange as it may sound, it made a great conversation piece! To-date I am still thanked constantly for this present. In fact she even asked for the smaller Ant Factory so she can hook them together. This is my favorite gift I've ever given. I would recommend the Ant Factory to any ant fan of any age! You're never too old to love an ant farm!

Cons Review
Vision obscured and sand gets moldy . My son received this ant farm as a gift. In an attempt to be cute, the manufacturers painted one side of the plastic with goofy pictures - this means you can only see what's happening with the ants on the other side. Also, the sand gets moldy even after following the directions and limiting the water. If I ever get another ant farm it might be the gel type.
put the ants in the fridge... . We've had the ants in the farm for about 4 days now and they're doing great, tunneling all over. It's been very fun to watch. Bought this as a gift for my 5 year old son and the whole family really enjoys it. My only comment is before putting the ants in the farm, put them in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes. The farm comes w/ instructions and the ants come w/ instructions when they arrive. follow the instructions that comes w/ the ants!
