 Wonderful Wooden Barn! Jul 13, 2009
By Suzanne-Marie
This was an unexpectedly great purchase, with wonderful detail, smooth-working parts and ample room for play and lodging of the horses and other animals! I reviewed and shopped online scrupulously for several hours, until I selected this Fold-and-Go Mini Barn (as well as the Fold-and-Go Mini Stable). I bought this and the mini stable to go with the Schleich horses and other like-sized Schleich animals we've gifted to a 6 year old granddaughter. The barn (as well as the stable) was a hit! I also added a section of Melissa and Doug wooden articulating fence (about 3 feet long)to go with it; though it's supposed to be sized for the larger horses, it was also a real pleaser, working well for these animals and this barn and the stable! (She decided to paint all the wooden articulating fencing barn red, and that actually turned out very nicely; just dilute the paint -- we used artists' acrylic -- so fencing still moves!)

 The barn's ok, the animals are terrible Dec 25, 2009
By CJA
As my title states, the barn is fine--it's a wooden structure that folds open with 6 separate areas/stalls. But the animals--the main thing for my animal-loving child--are horrible. The turkey, horse and goat can barely stand on their own (the horse would be shot he's so unstable) and the sizes are all off. I luckily also got a Safari Farm Animal Toob and their animals are MUCH better--better looking and better made. Plus they're labeled lead and phylate free, and since MD doesn't label theirs I assume they aren't. The Toob--$10. How is this barn worth almost $50? I would be happy to pay it if it were made in the US (it isn't) or if it were also lead/BPA free. Hopefully this purchase will finally cure me from buying MD's overpriced "natural" looking made-in-China junk.

 grandson Jul 17, 2009
By Savta
I recently bought this toy for my grandson, who is two years old. I was afraid it would be too heavy and large for him to carry, but it is just right Overall, I am very happy with the purchase. My grandson enjoys setting up the animals in various positions and opening and closing the sliding doors. His favorite thing to do is to make a square with the fence and enclose all the animals, standing side by side. (This is quite difficult, as the fence is rather small). The barn and the animals seem sturdy but I don't have them long enough to know for sure. My only complaint about the set is that there is no latch, so the barn can open when moved from place to place. Years ago I had a similar style barn for my children and one handle had a piece that clicked under and locked into the other handle. I think Melissa and Doug should consider doing this in their future production.

Perfect first time farm Jun 26, 2011
By HockeyNutt
We started buying Melissa n Doug for our girls last year...and so far we haven't stopped! After getting the fold n go doll house we decided to get this farm. These are great products especially for the price as well as the age of our girls 2 and 3 they love the animals, and this is very durable... Our girls recognize the animals, I would say with the exception of the Turkey at this point but make all the animal sounds while playing. I would highly recommend this for someone who is looking for a well made educational and fun toy.

Granddaughter loves it! Jan 20, 2010
By Mark S. Hogan
This seems like at exceptional value to me. It is clever in design in how it folds up and the handles hold it closed for transport. A latch would be nice, but would add to the cost. It is made of a light wood like balsa but sturdy. The folding wood fence and ladder are nice touchs. Even has barn doors that slide open and closed. The animals are of good quality and the barn is a good size for most room set ups where you do not want it dominating the floor space. Well worth the money.
