This toy has become THE toy in my kindergarten classroom! Everyone is highly motivated so that they can work on this Center! After 20 min, no one wants to leave! And the lessons of cause and effect are limitless! What a challenge I brought in! This is the greatest engineering toy I bought! Even better - it doesn’t come with a computer screen or directions.

Fun for all
Our six grandchildren, ages 4-15, were kept busy for hours with the Mega Marble Run. It was sturdy enough for small hands and intricate enough for the experiments of the older children. I just don't get tired of hearing the marbles running through their track.

Fun, creative, and addictive
This activity has captivated the whole family. We bought it for our five and seven year old grandkids who spend their summers with us, and everyone got into the act the day we opened it. The next thing I knew, Mama and Grammy had constructed a marble run using virtually every piece in the set.
Our five year old loved to pour in the marbles at first, but eventually went off on his own and made his own marble run.
Stability is an issue, and part of the challenge. Building tall structures often takes four hands to keep everything from collapsing. But it's flexibility is also it's greatest asset.. We definitely recommend building plenty of support into the structures, and locating it on a piece of wood or a hardwood floor. Carpet can compromise stability.

Sorry
My grand daughter was disappointed there wasn't enough pieces to make the tower shown on the box. We did make what we could, and she liked playing with it.

Fun for all ages
We bought the smaller set for Christmas and then my 4 year old requested the larger set for his birthday. I have 5 children between the ages of 1 and 11 and they all enjoy playing with this. The 1 year old can't build with it yet, but he likes to drop the marbles in. I enjoy playing with it as well. We did have missing pieces and it was a hassle having to return it and get a new set. It would have been nice if they had a parts list and could just send out the pieces that were missing, but the toy itself is great quality.

Fun for the kids
My 5 grand children had a ball with it, each one tried to do something different with it. They played with it all the time they were here, then it went to Colorado and they are still playing with it.

Big hit
This was a big hit for my grandson on his 6th Birthday. It keeps him and his father busy for hours.

Gets them thinking...
I enjoyed putting this marble run together as a 60 yr old gramma! Both my grandsons love it (5 yrs & 3 yrs)! It is a toy that can be reconstructed in many ways and this promotes thought and planning in the child. There is just something about watching those marbles race through the maze that infatuates kids!
My 5 yr old's birthday is this summer and he will be getting a second set to add on to the first! It is a gift that won't get boring. Just make sure the little one's won't/don't put any marbles in their mouths! :-)

Limitless use of imagination!
They have this at the elementary school and the students love it. I was so excited to have this for my own children.
This has provided hours of entertainment for the kids. Sometimes they build huge ones together while sometimes they build seperate ones and then show each other their creations. Their friends and cousins have been over and found it equally fun!
I am so glad we purchased the mega set!

Awesome fun!
My 5 year old son loves this marble ramp, and so do I! It's super fun to build different ramps and this set comes with tons of cool pieces. My son is beyond thrilled with his new ramp! My 20 month old daughter is also very into the marbles and ramp. Though she can't put the pieces together yet, she sure enjoys letting the marbles roll down what her brother built.

Our children ages 5 to 10, and the adults in the house love building this together. So much better than video gaming and watching movies.
Excellent toy for the whole family as they interact and cooperate together.
