Description
There's so much to discover at the Fisher-Price Little People Big Animal Zoo! The BIG elephant's legs, ears and head are moveable so kids can learn about and recreate animal movements. Pressing down on the mouse sitting atop the elephant's back, tipping the elephant's head or pulling his tail will all activate music or silly sounds. And if the Zookeeper is too slow bringing the food, the sneaky elephant can tip the platform and his food will roll right into his feeding bin! There's a teeter-totter tree top for the monkey to rock back and forth - and a real working swing. Best of all, little animal lovers can use the hose, measuring stick, scale and eye chart to help the Zookeeper and Mia clean, measure, weigh and care for the animals! Little hands and minds will stay busy for hours when they visit this zoo

Dirty!
November 16, 2017
I just bought this whole set for my little ones for Christmas. While I'm excited that they will have a zoo to play with, all the toys were dirty!! I don't expect brand new toys to be dirty. Yuck!

Great toy
September 23, 2017
I bought this a while ago for my then 3 year old daughter. She loved playing with the elephant and really enjoyed the noises it made. Now, my daughter is a bit old for it but my 2year old son loves to play with it and my daughter even joins in every once in a while. Overall a great toy.

Super Cute!

My son is almost 2 and so far spends more time playing with the elephant that's included with the playset than the zoo portion but I think this set will see more use as he gets older. We love all the sounds the elephant makes and tree swing. We also purchased the Zoo Train and a set of zoo animals to compliment this set.

New favourite toy
March 31, 2016
Love. My 2.5yr old daughter couldn't get the elephant out quick enough and it has been by her side since. Lithe noises it makes are cute and quirky and the set itself has plenty of different parts to keep both of my children entertained at once. One plays with the elephant while the other is moving the money around... I love watching the little world my daughter makes, moving the people around and making them talk.

Fun Toy

My 15 month old son loves the elephant that comes with this zoo, it plays fun music that he likes to dance to. It is a fun toy for my son and 5 year old daughter to play with together with plenty of pieces for them to share, especially since it has 2 people.

Both my kids and myself love the Little People Big Animal Zoo. My boys love the elephant the most. They like how it squeals and sneezes! I feel it is very educational and fun. We always talk about the size difference of the elephant and mouse. My kids love animals and this toy helps me get them even more excited about going to the zoo- I highly recommend it!

Loved the elephant
March 25, 2016
My grandson loves the Little People/Big Animal Zoo that we received. Jacob turned 2 October 28. He loves the elephant and we call her "Ella Phant". He carries her everywhere. Ella even went to Lake Erie with us. The colors are bright and the toy takes anything that Jacob does with it. I would recommend this toy.

My daughter loves little people and she really loves the Big Animal Zoo! As a parent and teacher I love playing with her and teaching her all about the different animals and the sounds they make. I wish there was a little more to it though. I went out and bought the large animals (giraffe and hippo). She loves to measure the large animals and loves to put the monkey on the swing!

Love the Elephant
March 21, 2016
This has been an excellent toy for my 16 month old! She absolutely adores the elephant and we've all had fun discovering all the sounds it can make. The music is fun and she particularly loves the sneeze. It would be nice if the elephant had an off switch and/or volume control, but overall the sounds aren't too annoying. It has been a lot of fun watching her figure out the zoo station/tree house as well. It didn't take long for her to understand how the orange balls roll down the ramp or that the monkey likes to be in the tree tops. The graphics are darling and the overall build of this toy has been holding up well (as she does like to drag it around a bit.) This play set will give her years of fun as her imagination grows, and I like that we can expand with the other Big Animal Zoo animals. The play set and people also go nicely with the Little People Musical Zoo Train that we already had (and vice versa.) We are a family that loves Little People and this set did not disappoint!

Love the Noises and Movements
March 21, 2016
My son loves the life-like noises the animals make and that parts actually move! I like that he is still able to use creativity and his imagination! It makes the toy seem more real than a sedentary toy set. It is also nice that it doesn't have small pieces that won't be lost! The pieces seem to be durable, but I've never had issues with any Fisher-Price toys.

Great quality product
March 21, 2016
Let me start this review off with what I thought was absolutely awesome right off the bat-frustration free packaging!!! It was actually easy to get this set out of the box and into my daughter's hands, I'm not sure I even had to use scissors. The quality of the product is great. The elephant and noises it makes keep my 2 year old's interest. She like to make sure the elephant's ears are clean with the hose and see how tall he is. She can play with this by herself and keep entertained.

Big Elephant Zoo
March 21, 2016
I received this product as part of the Play, Rate & Review program. It is intended for ages 1-5, but I was worried that my 3 year old would find it too "babyish." He actually couldn't wait to get it out of the box! It was very easy to open and there was nothing to put together. The elephant is a really great size. The head, ears, trunk and legs all move and there are various sounds that play from different movements. I would note that there is no OFF switch for the elephant, but that hasn't presented a problem for us. My son likes the teeter totter and swing for the monkey and people, which are included. The structure falls over fairly easily, but my son would be content with only the elephant. Overall, the product is sturdy and well made.

Encourages imagination
March 21, 2016
From the moment I pulled the toy from the box my two year old girl loved the Little People Big Animal Zoo. She started creating stories for the boy and girl and moving them around the zoo. There are so many cool parts to the zoo for little ones to lift up or move that really keeps them engaged. Also the animals that come with the zoo are adorable. The elephant is really big and plays music. I would definitely recommend this toy to other parents for toddler age kids.

Elephant is a hit
March 18, 2016
Elephant is a hit. My 2 1/2-year-old is obsessed with elephants and of course he loves the one that comes with the little people zoo. This mommy personally wishes there was an off button for the elephant but other than that it's great. Overall it's a cute toy

It could be a lot better
March 17, 2016
For being a little people set it is VERY large. My son is 2 years old and he was excited to open it and that it was a fun new toy. The elephant that comes with the set is seriously gigantic and it makes noise both when the tail is pulled and when the bird that is sitting on its back is pushed. My complaint is that there is NO off switch on the elephant and it is constantly going off. Not to mention tat the song is very annoying. The people and the monkey were nice but the play set itself doesn't really have a lot of features or any sound making ability on its own. I was very disappointed in this particular little people set and hope that in the future they are more like the ones I am presently used ot.

It's a Jungle Out There! And In Here Too!
March 16, 2016
As soon as I saw this set in store, I immediately wanted it for my daughter! She loves her animals and coincidentally enough her favorite animals are elephants. And look who the star is in this set. When I got this out of the box, you can just see my daughter's eyes light up and with a loud, "Efelant!" she was off. This set comes with 2 zookeepers (girl and boy), a monkey, 2 little balls of what looks like hay or elephant food, a little box of food, and a big elephant. I just loved watching my daughter try to measure and weigh the elephant at the weighing station,feeding the elephant with a flip of the little lever up top, have the monkey swing, or teeter totter whoever was lucky enough to be in the treetop! I think my favorite part of this set is the elephant itself. He is just so animated and full of life. His legs move and when you move his trunk up and down,he lets out cute sounds. Also, with the push of his mouse friend on his back, his friend makes himself known with little squeaks and the elephant has his own theme song! My daughter takes her elephant everywhere and spends countless hours playing with her zoo. I plan on buying her more animals to accompany this set from the little people line. I can't wait to see her face.I recommend this to anyone! This zoo definitely brings a lot of imagination, giggles, and is wonderful for young and old. I received this toy as a member of the Play,Rate,and Review program with Mattel in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are completely my own.

Big Fun with the Big Zoo
March 15, 2016
My daughter absolutely loves the Big Animal Zoo! It is one of the first sets she plays with every morning after breakfast, and keeps her coming back for more fun every day. She is 2 and loves her other Little People sets, so this just seemed like a great addition to her collection! It's great for her age and can definitely grow with her as she develops her play. First thing she loves about this set: the elephant! Oh, my goodness. That elephant is wonderful! She finds the sneezing absolutely hilarious, and I love that there are 3 ways to make sounds so you're not constantly hearing the same sound over and over and over again. She loves to carry the elephant around with her, but whenever he sneezes, she makes sure to bring him back to the zoo so she can clean him up with the hose. The only downside to the elephant is that you can't actually turn off the sounds without taking out the batteries (if you wanted to play without the sounds going off). She loves to "feed" the elephant, loves to watch the people and elephant food (and other animals she has) slide down the ramps, and the swing is totally up her alley. She likes to push her new friends in their swing and make sure everyone's having fun. Another thing she really likes to do is measure the elephant with the height chart. She also has pulled other toys over to the zoo to measure them, as well, and likes to compare their heights. The measuring chart bar, unfortunately, can't go all the way down to where the chart starts, so that's a bit of a bummer. My daughter keeps trying to measure the people, but doesn't have any luck because the bar can't go any lower than the monkey marker and the people aren't that tall. Personally, I love that it comes with two Little People (Mia and the zookeeper) for her to play with, as well as the elephant, the monkey, the extra food tray, and the two elephant food balls. A lot is included in this set. I also love the fact that the elephant is so big. It is a tad bit heavy for the younger end of the age range, but is definitely a ton of fun for everyone. I cannot wait to add the hippo and the giraffe to her collection. I'm hoping for more big animals in the future, too! There isn't a whole lot of negative stuff to say about this set. What I would consider a "negative" (elephant not having an on/off switch, measuring bar not lowering all the way, or the weight of the elephant for tiny hands), isn't really that bad at all. It's an absolutely adorable set and is definitely loved in this house already! I also love that, just like other LP sets, it has the connector pieces so you can attach them all together to make one long chain. I would definitely recommend this to anyone whose children likes the Little People sets. There is so much to do and interact with, it's hard to not enjoy every moment at the zoo!

Fun Toy
March 14, 2016
My child enjoyed this zoo, it holds her attention longer than some other toys. She was excited to play with it as soon as she saw it come out of the box. The elephant is by far the favorite part of the set. She also likes the swing and the hose to "wash" the animals. Toy is ready to play with right out of the box which is always a plus for parents. The placement of the swing on the set makes it a little difficult for little hands to put the people on, it takes them a few tries. I would recommend this toy to other parents.

Awesome Animal Fun!
March 14, 2016
My two year old could not love this playset more! He loves animals, and this product was basically made for him. He loves to play with the elephant and make it make noise. He could play with it all day, and often will carry it around the house with him. He likes to play with features on the playset itself, such as the measuring stick and the feeding trough. Because he is only two, it is hard for the playset itself to hold his attention, but I see many years of fun ahead with this playset! We cannot wait to buy some matching animals, since he loves the elephant so much. This is a great product to stimulate his imagination!

Perfect size for little hands
March 14, 2016
I really enjoyed this toy! It was great to see my 15 month old and my 5 year old be able to play with it! There are not many toys they both play with. The people are the perfect size for little hands to grip and they love all the noises the elephant makes! My 15 month old particularly loves the clicky ears and the little mouse on the back.

March 14, 2016
My daughter was very excited to open the Little People Big Animal Zoo. She sat down with it right away, and began putting the 2 included little people and monkey into the tree seats. This feature sways up and down and she enjoyed the movement. She is also a big fan of the balls that the set came with. It took her a bit of time to figure out how to use the ramp with them. The swing was also a part of the toy that she really liked using. She was able to put the people/monkey in it herself, and push it back and forth without any frustration. In front of the hut is a hose that she liked swinging around too. She really wasn't too interested in the height/weight station as of yet. She did play with the larger elephant that is also included, but not with the set. It is nice because it has movement and makes sounds that aren't too loud. I think the size of it deterred her from using it with the other people/animals. My only complaint is that there is not a spot to stick the loose pieces when storing it. Maybe the hut or tree could have been better thought out to provide a spot.

Great little people product !
March 10, 2016
My 20 month old son was thrilled when this Little People Big Animal Zoo arrived! He immediately wanted to see the elephant and once he realized that if he pulls his tail he makes sounds he went even crazier over it. He loved when I put the monkey on the swing , repeated "monkey swing " over and over while laughing. The hose was a nice addition as well , would of been cool to have a button near the hose that made noise but he doesn't know the difference. Overall he is super happy with this little people addition to our collection- and so is mom as it has been keeping his attention!

Favorite Toy
March 10, 2016
My 2 year old is absolutely loving this toy. Not only does she love using the people to interact with the playset and animals, she likes to play with each individual piece on its own as well. The elephant is, of course, the favorite and a mini dance party ensues everytime the song plays when she pushes the mouse on his back. She loves to raise and lower his head and imitate the elephant sound and the sneeze. Although most toys don't hold a toddlers interest for very long, this one tends to keep her interested a bit longer than most. I will definitely recommend this toy to friends with children and will consider purchasing it for other children for upcoming birthdays and holidays.

From the moment we opened the box my little guy loves this set. He is 1 1/2 and loves the big animals that make noise, he has the hippo and giraffe, he really likes the little mouse on the elephant. He likes the teeter-totter and the ramp for the balls. Measuring the animals is a favorite too, we've also measured many other toys and dinosaurs too! This set is simple but so very entertaining, I foresee many many hours of play ahead of us! I would recommend this set to everyone that has little ones.

I just received The Little People Big Animal Zoo and my son who is 2 1/2 couldn't wait to play with it. I didn't even take it out of the package and he was already playing with it. Once we opened the package he was hooked! I even enjoyed playing with this toy. There are tons of activities you can do with this which is why I think my son really enjoyed it. It came with the Big Elephant, Monkey, a Zookeeper and a little girl. You can pretend to wash the Elephant, you can measure the animals, do an eye test and pretend to weigh the animals. There is also a feature where you put these 2 balls on the platform and they roll down to feed the elephant. There is a swing for the monkey to sit and swing on. There is also a tree top where the monkey or the little people can sit on and it goes up and down like a seesaw. If there was anything I would say to change would be to have a couple more animals added to the package. We actually had a couple of the Zoo Animals that we are using with it. This held his interest for several hours, so I would definitely recommend this product.

Another great Little People Purchase
March 9, 2016
The first thing my son went for when I opened the package was the "elephant food." They are a durable, hard plastic. He amused himself bouncing them on the floor while I opened the rest of the toy. They are hollow so he liked the sound they made on the hard floor! The toy was easy to open. At first, he seemed nervous about the elephant, perhaps the size? But once he learned the three different ways to make noises with it, he wouldn't let go! He played with the actual playset some, but he is a little young still to really enjoy pretend play. He did roll the balls on the ramp and swing the swing. The elephant seems very durable, and has already survived several falls to the ground. It is a good size, he has to use both hands to carry it at this point. I like that it can be expanded to include other animals. The best part about the playset is the elephant, though. It is big, durable, easy to carry and makes lots of noises in different ways. Like the other Little People sets, it includes 2 people, and a monkey as well, for even more ways to play. I also like that the people all fit each set and can be used with different sets. I did receive this product for free for an honest review.

The little people big animal zoo is awesome. It is very well made and holds up for rough 2 year old play. My son loves his zoo set especially the elephant that came with it. The sounds and songs the elephant makes is adorable and really grabs the attention of a 2 year old. When he first opened it he spent a few hours just rolling the balls around and checking it all out. He loved rolling the balls down the ramp and pretending to give the animals and people a bath with the hose. I will definitely be going out to buy more zoo pieces to go along with the set.

Elephants of fun!
March 8, 2016
My son had a blast! He laughed at the mouse and pulling the tail for a good hour! The rest of the tree house kept his attention intermittently for about 30 minutes total. He enjoyed pushing the little people on the swing as best he could. At 20 months he was a good age but could be a few months older and enjoy it much more. I look forward to getting more sets to put together!

Kids Love It

My two sons, 1 and 3, were very excited right off the bat when we showed them the box! They love the elephant and all the interactive features to the toy, like the measuring scale and the ramp for the ball. The "Little People" line is a line my children always resort to, even if they lose the typical initial interest; days and weeks down the line, they find themselves playing with the "Little People" playsets we have. This, I'm sure, will be no exception.
