Fun for everyone
My 5 and 3 year olds have been playing with this ever since we received it 4 days ago. Huge hit! So much fun.

Marble Race Joy
My 4 year picked this out for Christmas and he is obsessed! Every day he spends time figuring out new ways to build it. I will agree it’s not the sturdiest thing, but he seems to be leaning to be patient with as it will easily fall apart.

It doesn’t stay together and the second you bump it, it all falls apart. Don’t buy!!!

LOVE IT
My daughter absolutely loves it ! I see alot of people complaining that it falls over. You do have to build it with SUPPORT it is not going to float in mid air... keeps my daughter busy creating/building new tracks ! Absolutely recommend !

Almost but not quite
The idea is great however it's very cheaply made and unstable. We did get a few runs in which my grandson loved but you have to be very careful or it falls apart. Definitely not worth the price

So much fun!!
My grandson loves building with this set. He's 4 and I let him figure out how to build things with minimal help. It's fun to teach him about gravity, momentum, and perseverance. It was a favorite of his mom and uncle when they were kids, and we found some pieces of it packed away, but not enough to make anything. Luckily, Mindware still makes sets that fit with the old one!

Pretty great!
This marble run is pretty great. My toddler loves to build different configurations and continues to be impressed by gravity and all it’s wonders haha. I do wish it had slightly more “down hill” pieces to help the marbles gain more momentum, but I still recommend it!

Not great
You can't look or breathe on it once you connect the pieces or it will fall apart. The only engineering fun this toy brings to the table is failure testing. If you like to listen to endless complaining this toy is for you!

Comes Apart Easily, But We Try to Make it Fun!
This doesn’t stay together as well as the original marble run toys from the 80s/90s. If your child enjoys building and taking things apart, it could work well for you. It comes apart easily. We’ve been treating it like a Jenga game, and now my son laughs when it comes apart.

Dont waste your money - buy a better quality set!
This set is absolute garbage. It’s flimsy and falls apart so easily. All it does is frustrate my kids. You can’t even finish building it before it’s popping apart and breaking. I don’t know how it has 4 out of 5 star rating overall. They must’ve compensated people for reviews to get that high of a rating. My daughter was so wzcited to get this set. Unfortunately she tore the box to shreds and it went out with the trash so we can’t return it. Don’t waste your money. Buy a better quality set elsewhere!

Great for 5 year old
This is the second marble run we’ve purchased for my 5 year old and it is way easier for him to use. He is able to assemble it independently and the pieces stay together. This toy is used daily in our house.

Marble Run Fun
Easy to snap together for my 2 1/2 YR old grandson. Challenging to assemble the marble track for him but he loves to look at the box and try to figure it out. This has become our favorite toy. Well made sturdy construction.

My kids 4 & 8 were so excited to use it, but does not stay together. Very fragile and cheaply made.
