My 7 year old boy really has fun with this. The learning curve is pretty easy. After an hour of playing, he can make the car "dance". This toy is kind of part robot, part RC car. The flashing lights, the ability to do doughnuts, drive sideways, and "dance" kept him entertained for a long time. The battery recharges quickly and lasts a sufficient amount of time for playing. I recommend it for inside play. Good value for the money....
