A very open ended marble toy. No designs or instructions to follow. Our kids are 4 and 6 and needed help thinking through building it in order to make several paths for the marbles to roll...and also to keep the towers from falling when trying to make adjustments. A good 'parent participation' toy to get it built then the kids can play independently with it until someone knocks it over!

I bought it as a Christmas gift for my grandson and he really loves it. The only problem they had was while setting it up, it kept tipping over. Maybe a flat base to put it on would be helpful.

The grandkids (ages 7 - 12) love the Marble Run. My greatest criticism would be that it becomes unstable as the height increases. A single piece base that would accomodate the various piece types might solve the problem.

Lots of fun!

Challenging for the creative mind. My 6 year old grandson loved it. We spent hours building, revising, and building again and again. Good quality.

My 6 year old son loves this and has played with it several times a day since he got it. It's fascinating for him to watch the marbles go through the maze. And I like watching it too. It's easy to put together and has endless creativity possibilities. Every adult that's been in my house can't resist sending some marbles through it. And my son's 4 year old friend loved it too.

The marble run was terrific! Lots of possibilities! Under 9 would need adult participation, but the game was well made and challenging.
