    Good gift

    I bought this for my 5 year old granddaughter. I didn't open or see the contents, but I heard she was enjoying this gift a lot, with the help of her 9 year old brother.

    My son is autistic and absolutely loves this Marble Run set! The galaxy-looking marbles are his favorite part! he’s so drawn to them and enjoys watching them go down the tracks over and over. It keeps him engaged, calm, and entertained. Definitely a great buy for us

    A great gift idea

    A marble run was at the top of my 5-year-old son’s Christmas list. This one was awesome, we enjoyed putting it together as a family and he still is so excited to play with it! It’s a great gift!

    No UV light or instructions included

    Great toy..bought it for my almost 5 yr old and he is obsessed.. requires supervision due to the choking hazard. Only concern was that it did not come with instructions but we were quickly able to figure it out. The set also did not come with the UV light like some others have mentioned so we have been using our phone flashlight. A bit disappointed about the UV light not being there as it takes a bit longer for the marbles to glow and my very excited child has a hard time waiting.

    Not enough pieces to really put together a proper marble run. Bought the 150 piece by same company and it's night and day. Skip this version and go for a bigger version.

    Okay but kinda disappointed.

    Got it for my son for Christmas. Biggest disappointment is that it didn’t come with instructions like it said. Had a little pamphlet but no help really. Won’t return because it was on sale but wouldn’t keep it had I paid full price. Had to figure out how to use the pieces on our own or looking at the box.

    I ordered this online for my nephew and when I received the package the box was smooshed and torn and the pieces fell out of the original packaging. I had to return it to a local store to get a refund and to purchase a new one in store. I’m a bit disappointed the store shipped me a package in that horrific condition.

    Hours of fun

    My little and I spent hours building , taking apart , and building again. This was such a fun thing for her . So many combinations and all a success. Got a super cute video but unfortunately it wont allow me to attach, but this set is seriously so cool. The glowing of the marbles is just an added fun touch
