Customer Reviews

Excellent purchase
This was so much fun for my eight year old who's obsessed with insects. The plastic container was good and sturdy and the fact that the ants could roam freely rather than be squashed between to plastic sheets, made them all the more entertaining.
He's playing with it as I type, so I can't think of a better recommendation than that!

Very good for classroom use as well as at home
We purchased 6 of these for classroom use with second graders, one for each class. We are very happy with them, and the students loved seeing the ants work. Read the directions in advance and set up the ant farm a few days in advance of the arrival of the ants. They seem better than the tall narrow ant farms. As a matter of fact, one of the teachers has the ants still living and burrowing at least 4 months later. She feeds them Girl Scout cookies!

They were neatly packed and arrived in good conditon too.

Excellent Educational Tool
Greetings...

I never had an ant farm as a kid, so this was an experience for my children as well as myself. Antzone is an excellent product. It is well-made; it would be nice if the tank were bigger, but it's no big deal. Once the ants get going, you can watch them in great detail. The cage is designed well, and no ants will escape--even with the cover off.

The ants arrived within 10 days of sending out the coupon. Inside the Antzone is a form to fill out and send back to the company (with $2.00 postage); you'll receive a plastic test tube with 20+ harvester ants in it. Be very careful when you open it, they're very eager to get out.

Harvester can BITE and STING, so be very cautious and don't let the kids stick their fingers in the tank.

It was amazing to see how fast these little guys worked. In 3 days they've dug an extensive network of tunnels.
