What We Think

Durability:
Ease of assembly:
Educational factor:

The Good: Exciting fantasy theme that encourages imagination and role-playing.

The Challenging: A bit top-heavy; could be easy to tip over.

In a Nutshell: A large, well-designed play set that encourages creativity and role-playing.
A Medieval Adventure
At approximately two feet in height, Dragon World Fortress is filled with enough interactive features to keep active imaginations occupied. The play set comes with two knight figures, each with their own detachable sword, shield and armor. With these figures your child can pivot "activation points" on the play set, which can reveal hidden staircases and open the front gate.

Knights who dare to enter the Dragon World Fortress face many dangers. Pulling a lever on the back of the castle will cause the green guard dragon to lunge forward and attack intruders. The lever also triggers thunder sound effects and causes the entire castle to light up. There is also a cannon that fires plastic projectiles, and a rolling boulder that can be used to defend the staircases.

The fortress is constructed in solid, sturdy plastic. Parents, be aware that it is fairly easy to topple over due to its vertical design. However, this problem is remedied by folding out the hidden set of stairs underneath the castle, giving it the stability needed for rougher play.

Encourages Imagination
Dragon World Fortress channels a spirit of medieval adventure. It is full of movable objects and sounds, but still leaves plenty of room for constructive, imaginative play. The play set provides children with the tools needed for an immersive, imaginative experience.

What's in the Box
Fortress, two knight figures, two flags, two boulders, one bed, and one cannon with projectile.

FP Dragon Castle, Best Parts are the Accessories
My 3 year old son received this for Christmas. The drawbridge broke immediately while my husband was using it. My son enjoys playing with the accessories - knights, swords and the extra dragons we purchased- more than the castle. The back levels, castle turrets, and stairs are small, no room to move the figures around and hard for two people to play with at once. The sounds and attached dragon are cool. He likes it and does play with it. For the price, I wish the quality was better and it had larger play spaces for the characters.


Loves Me Some Dragon Fortress!
When I was three, I received a Fisher-Price castle. I still have it (at 40!). So when my son asked for the Imaginext Dragon Fortress, it only made sense to keep quality toys in the family The fortress has so many bells and whistles... even though they are simple... to keep my son going and going. Heck, we even let the hamster crawl around in it sometimes and she loves it! We've had it about 7 months and it is played with almost every day. Love it.


Great toy
My 4-year-old loves this toy. The monster sounds and flashing lights are great. He loves to send the boulders down the spiral slide. We've had it for 2 weeks, so durability is really unknown. However, our first purchase had the drawbridge stop functioning within an hour, so we returned it and got another (a newer version) which is working fine.

People have commented about the stability of the unit. The first one we got fell over backwards a lot. The second one we got must be a newer version because it included a triangle wedge for the back to keep it from tipping over backwards. It has not toppled since.


happy 5 yr old boy
Grandson received the fortress and two extra figure accessories. He was very happy and content with this for hours on end. Great toy.


Way too pricey!
My 4 yr old enjoyed the Imaginext dragon fortress for a short while. However, it's top heavy and falls forward easy and there is really not much involved in playing with the toy.
I gave it 3 stars because he enjoyed it, but way too expensive!

Tall Towers and Impenetrable Walls
It's easy to imagine the inhabitants of this Knight's Castle successfully defending themselves from an outside invasion. Kids will be impressed by the durable plastic pieces, which together weigh approximately 20 pounds. All the pieces have the look and feel of dusty, weathered stone, and the two towers are heavy enough that children younger than five may have trouble moving them.

Simple assembly instructions are included with the castle. All kids have to do is connect the drawbridge to its two hinges on the castle wall, slide the cobbled entrance road into place, and then fit floor pieces into each of the two towers.

As for where the towers and the six castle-wall pieces go, that's up to them! The pieces are designed to sit side-by-side in a number of different positions so that kids can rearrange them for important battles or other scenarios.

Raise the Drawbridge!
With a working drawbridge, kids won't have any trouble conjuring a misty Medieval landscape of knights on horseback. Chains connect the heavy-duty imitation wood-and-metal door to the drawbridge support, which can be raised or lowered on its hinges. Each of the two castle towers contain three floors, and all of the castle-wall pieces feature an inner ledge, where one can imagine a soldier patrolling the perimeter.

Sized to Fit Knight Figures
Children who own the Schleich hand-painted Knight figures (sold separately) will be delighted to find that this Castle's proportions are perfectly suited to them. Additional wall pieces and accessories like staircases or battering rams can also be purchased separately to expand the castle.

  • For ages 5 and above

solid
The castle is well built and not fragile, but really do you need a castle to play with your nights? Buy more knights instead!


GREAT
How refreshing to have a quality toy for Christmas that does not break and disappoint!Can be compact or spread out.Love this toy,My son loves it too!If you get a deal on this grab it.


plastic
When I saw it on the net, I thought it would be a wooden castle. It is nice and works, but it is made of plastic. I thought overall it is a little overpriced


Well made but difficult to keep together
The castle comes in separate pieces which sit next to each other. I know it's for functinality. But the only function it serves is to fall down and lay in peices on the floor.
When it's together, the boys love playing with it. I just wish the three pieces interlocked.


Knight's Castle great for 2 years to 9 years
This was a Christmas present to our 4 kids from a grandparent- they have all enjoyed it. It really helps to encourage them to use their imaginations, and helps them learn to play together well. It will also be great for adding on parts as birthdays come around this year. We are very pleased with this purchase!
