I can speak from personal experience that a trampoline has been a god-send for us this summer! Our next door neighbor sold their house and moved away, but didn't want to take their trampoline because their daughters didn't ever really use it. So they gave it to us. (HUGE SUPRISE!)
Now, our 3 sons on the other hand, they jump on that thing all day every day! and their friends come and jump too. So, I am thinking that it is probably more of a "boy" toy, but that is only based on 2 different families.
btw - our boys are 12, 6 and 3 years old.
