Way better than I expected. Grandson is 3 years and couple months and it pushes his patients a bit, but it is very engaging for him. He loves the waves splashing, thomas chugs around and comes over the waves, the waves engage and splash up repeatedly causing thomas to remain in place until a small button is pushed by the child to release the train from the waves. the boat and treasure are a little trickier, it is hard for him to set the boat up at the top of the hill and get the treasure on and then have Thomas come around and release the boat so it goes down and crashes and the treasure pops off. I have no problem with it, and he thinks it is fantastic but this part requires my help. not miserable to assemble, but not super fast to take apart and put away and then take back out, but I got better at it after a couple times. Other wooden trains also work on this set. Which adds play power to it for him. Overall 5 stars, if you child needs to learn patients this may be a great small set to try. My grandson can not assemble any of the track on his own, the ends have to be lined up just right. Over all it stays together well unless he sits right on it or trips over it, which occasionally he does while trying to reach for the train.
UPDATE: May 2018: We are still using this set weekly, if not daily. We take it apart, put it in a box and then put it back together for daily play. He loves it. Does take some batteries, So stock up on those. wont hold up to being pushed around on the floor and not just played with on the track. He is going to be turning 4 and still can't do the set by himself. so I help put it together, Yes, all most daily. We also got on of the boxes of 4 leaf clover sets to go with this. you can kind of set this over that track and have 2 or 3 trains going at the same time. track holds up to being tripped over.

Race to Recover Lost Treasure
Inspired by the Thomas & Friends DVD, Sodor’s Legend of the Lost Treasure, the TrackMaster Treasure Chase Set from Fisher-Price captures all the fun-filled action and adventure of the movie! Start by loading the treasure cargo piece into the shed at Brendam Docks so it slides down into Skiff’s hull, then send Thomas racing past the shed. As the No.1 blue engine passes, he automatically releases Skiff the rail-boat, who is trying to escape with the treasure. As Skiff makes his way down a separate track, Thomas rushes to catch him!
Water, Water Everywhere
When Skiff reaches the end of his track and crashes into the water, the treasure chest is launched from his hull. Thomas is in close pursuit, but – oh no! – he gets stuck in the splashing waves when he races into the harbor! Press the button to release the stop-track and free Thomas from this watery obstacle so he can continue on his way.

LOVE this, I bought this for my sons birthday ...
LOVE this, I bought this for my sons birthday and put a cake in the middle while the train was going around it...sometimes we buy these expensive toys (like huge bombastic train sets) and all you need for this age (My son turned 5) is an easy set he can just play with himself...
