A Review of the Playmobil Hospital

 Dear Readers,

I hesitated getting this Playmobil Hospital because I thought it was too big but is turned out to be one of the most popular with my children among all their toys.

This is the Large Playmobil Hospital (Model 70910) 

The entrance didn't have anything but a blue pot with flowers so I added a welcome desk.

The waiting room is well stocked with magazine, a coffee maker and a vending machine too.

The Emergency Room is full of equipment, including a resuscitation machine which you can light up.  However, the light above the examination bed does not light up.  I added light kits from Playmobil in the corner to brighten the room for the picture. 

On the top floor, there is a bathroom.

The hospital includes two doctors and two patients with beds, blankets, and tons of accessories like heart monitor, infusion unit, medicine chest, etc.

I added a Radiologist Set (70196) which is very cool because you can slide the bed in and out of the X-ray machine.

I added a floor to the hospital to create a children's ward in the middle.

The rooms are not set in stone: the children often change them like adding a kids play area or a cafeteria if they want to.  

 

It can get a bit dark in the bottom floors so I added a lighting system from one of the Playmobil dollhouse.  I know the lamps are very colorful for a hospital but it is so much brighter this way. 

One of the coolest feature of the hospital is the elevator which you can push up and down to access all the floors.

The hospital only comes with two doctors but the others sets I have purchased included many other healthcare workers so the hospital crew is currently a lot bigger (I took the picture below before we got some more figures so there are even more nurses and doctors now).

I am listing below the other Playmobil sets I used to complement the hospital:

• Doctor and Patient (70079)
• Radiologist (70196)
• Children's Hospital Room (70192)
• Patient in Wheelchair (70193)
• Children`s Medical Area (6295)
• Rescue Ambulance (5681)
• Floor Supplement for Large Hospital (9848)

You can also get a rescue helicopter and helipad but I did not buy them.  Maybe in the future (^_^).

All in all, this is a really wonderful Playmobil set but as usual, it took many hours to build and you would need to buy additional sets if you want to add more play possibilities.  But it was a well-thought hospital with so many realistic accessories and features. 

And the winner is...

My nephews are always excited to have the right to draw the name out and it was Ben who did it this time :) I had planned to make a nice photoshoot of the name draw but because of my home being flooded, it was impossible to do.
 

I had quite a busy weekend due to my living room being flooded after a thunderstorm that lasted all night.  Usually I don't have such a problem unless it rains all night which it did this time.

 

So hubby had to move all the furniture from the living room into the other rooms and I had to empty all my bookshelves, craft table and toy area.  The floor didn't sustain too much damage so we didn't have to make any repairs inside ... the outside is another story.  We'll have to pour some cement to secure the place from future flooding.

 

But on the upside, I had the opportunity to re-organize my shelves and while it wasn't planned, it was still a welcomed activity!  I couldn't take any pictures or write on my blog because of this but oh well, it is a good preparation for my future projects :)

I will post about another miniature giveaway this week!  So if you didn't win this time, you might have a chance again.  The next giveaway is another Orcara miniature but the theme will be Japanese :)

Have a good week everybody!
