how long do they play with train tables

DS just got a hand me down train table. Its awesome but takes up a lot of space. Just curious if I should look at it as a temporary inconvenience and keep it in his room for awhile rather than passing it along. About how long did your child play with it until? I am thinking at least 3.???

    We don't have a train table, but we do have an enormous basket full of Thomas the trains and train tracks. DS is almost 5 and DD is 7 and they still play with it on occasion. Now it is more about building large, intricate tracks and less about playing with the trains.

    That's cool that they still like them.

    Ditto on not having a table, but having an enormous amount of Ikea trains.  She still gets them out periodically (it goes in phases - she left them alone for five months, and has been playing with them again for the past two) and I suspect she will for a while yet to come.  (She's had them for nearly 2.5yrs - she got her first ones around a year old, and she's 3.5yrs old now.)

    If you don't like it, I'd just get rid of it.  We had zillions of great Brio train tracks as kids, and we just made layouts on the floor (and, btw, we did this up until age...like...14).  They work fine on carpet too, so I really don't see why a table is necessary at all unless you just like having a specific space for it.

    My kid is almost 3 and much prefers laying tracks out on the floor to a train table.

     Depends on how much they're into trains. My DS could care less, but MIL insisted on getting him a train set. I hate how much space it takes up, but at least I can store stuff under it and other stuff on top, too.
