ActivPlay 9' Geo Dome Climber

The 9-foot geo dome is the perfect size for my 7 and 10-year-olds to climb without me hovering. Assembly took about an hour with two people, but the frame feels solid once the joints lock in. Worth every penny for the backyard.

My kids have barely come inside since we set this up. The geodesic bars give them so many handholds that even my 5-year-old climbs to the top without help, and it feels sturdy when two of them are on it at once.

My kids spend hours on this thing, and the geodome shape gives them plenty of ways to climb without getting bored. Only gripe is that the metal bars get scorching hot in direct sun, so we had to move it to the shaded side of the yard.
