Step 2 Water Rush Quarry Review

If your children are anything like my children then they must love playing outside. I have a hard time keeping them inside. We have almost every imaginable outside toy (thanks to grandparents). They would be outside morning, noon and night if I let them. So when I was given the opportunity to do a review for Step 2 I was excited and thrilled to say the least.

The Water Rush Quarry is a  multi-level design that allows water to cascade from top to bottom like a flowing river. The set includes one crane, two bridges, a tunnel, a dam, a ramp, a bucket, a shovel and two construction vehicles. This quarry is flexible and easily converted into a small, single level play table. It came out of the box with only about 5 steps to do. It was very easy to assemble.

The girls LOVED playing with the Water Rush Quarry. They played with it for hours. Even my little guy enjoyed playing with it or should I say in it, lol. The only negative thing I have to say about this product is that the road pieces do not stay attached very well. They fall off with very little touching. The girls didn’t seem to mind but as a parent I found it annoying.

In my opinion the price is a bit high for this product but the girls loved it so I guess it is worth it. You can purchase this product from Step 2, Wal-Mart, and Target.
