What is your favorite indoor play tent? We are looking at the Pacific Play Tents Club House Tent for DD and DS. All of the reviews I have read are positive (as opposed to the reviews of the Disney tents). We are going to be putting this up in our living room for DD and DS to use (hopefully for many years), and will eventually put it in a basement if/when we move to a house that has a usable basement space. Does anyone have the one we are looking at? What about others made for at least 4 children to fit in it?

We have a small Ikea tent that gets a lot of use and it was CHEAP.

I wouldn't spend much more than that on a tent, personally. I guess I am of the "build a fort out of blankets" mindset as the kids get older. If I were to really spend the money, I do like the teepee style tents best. Zrecs did a great review of these things:

We have a Pacific playtent for DS. It isn't the club house - just the plain one-touch tent but DS1 plays with it regularly. DS2 has started crawling into it. It has held up pretty well to DS's climbing in and out, ramming into the sides and us moving it around the playroom. We also have the tunnel to attach to it's side. I think this tent costs around $34.

dd loves the ikea tents but the red is tinier than the blue, they are both so inexpensive, too.

It's really cute. I pull it out on rainy days, and DS goes nuts for it.
