MindWare Mini Golf Marble Run

This marble run is awful. Directions are not clear how to build. Structure is not steady and frequently falls apart when playing with it. Next time will super glue the pieces together

This marble run is just like any other one of its type. The pieces are even interchangeable with the National Geographic one. My seven year old loves to assemble this in many different ways. The directions are definitely a bit of a challenge, but you at least can get the gist. It has the funnest theme by far!

Our son is obsessed with marble runs and we probably own 15+ different types/brands at this point. Hands down this is the worst quality, most frustrating, and most expensive one we’ve ever bought. It was uneven even when we followed the (terrible) directions exactly. Taking it back.

My two 5 year olds love it and can even mostly put it together themselves. They got it for a birthday gift and it’s been great! They asked to play more and skip their tv time.

Horrible instructions that make no sense. Save yourself the headache!

The absolute worst! Paid for a headache and only minutes of fun before packing it up to return it. Also false advertisement as not all 3 possible chutes work simultaneously; you can only have two working at the same time. Worst instructions I’ve EVER seen. Target should cut ties with this manufacturer/distributor.

This is a fantastic version- great new pieces. Don’t let the bad reviews deter you - this toy is free play, the kid should design and build whatever their hearts desire. If you want to copy the example included they expect you to build in sections, not bottom to top. Build bottom and the top ten or so parts and the middle ten or so and put together otherwise it will never stay up. That’s not really how these toys work though, just free play and improvise. My son has been into to marble runs for three years - trust me

Absolutely TERRIBLE instructions! Kids - and adults - were in tears over our inability to put it together. Even an engineer couldn't figure this out let alone a 4 year old. Worse toy I have ever purchased.

The worst instructions I’ve even seen in my entire life. My 4 year old is so disappointed that it’s not working. Especially after 4 hours trying to put it together, with mom and dad!

This took forever for my husband to put together. Just like the other reviews, it’s extremely flimsy and the instructions are trash. It falls apart while trying to piece everything together. Even once he put it together it fell apart within 5 minutes of play. Save your money and time.

Very flimsy pieces, difficulty level is a 10 definitely WOULD NOT recommend!! I had to tape the pieces and even then they used it once and it fell apart…horrible product..not worth the money.

These instructions are absolutely impossible and way too vague. I have never struggled so hard to put something together. It's been two solid hours. Do not buy unless you enjoy torturing yourself for hours. Someone please send me wine.

Absolute worst instructions ever. This makes ikea instructions look good. Which I thought was impossible. Don’t recommend unless you want every adult in your house frustrated and ready to yeet it out the front door.

The instructions don’t match the picture. The actual parts don’t match the picture. It is actually impossible to build what is depicted on the box. The worst. Do not buy this marble run!

I have no doubt that my five year old would love this contraption.... if we could put it together. The paper instructions are useless, and there are no online instructions. I might need to hire three engineers to help me because I'm not sure just one would suffice.

This was a huge hit with my kids...they've been playing for hours!!

If I had an engineering degree I still wouldn’t be able to follow these instructions. Absolutely impossible to follow.

The instructions are not helpful. Not age appropriate for a 4 year old.

Fun and creative toy - especially for kids who have interest in golf! They love it!

This is a great game for kids to play with and keeps them off the TV. You gotta make sure the cat is put up though. Cats can eat those marbles in there. Great toy and they learn how to build. Not for cats.
