Congratulations! You’ve arrived at the Cadillac of marble runs. After buying some other difficult to assemble and component limited competitors, I’ve decided this kit is tons of fun and way better for kids’ attention span.
After opening this set up my daughter and I got to work making towers of exciting marble runs.
No need for instructions, most pieces you’ll figure out, and then for the pieces that look weird your wife will read the instructions and explain it to you later! The pieces are simple and connect easily, and you’ll fight your children for the “cool” pieces.
There are lots of support pieces and several unique pinwheel, looping, spiraling pieces. Some pieces branch in different directions so you can build multipath runs that go in different directions.
Yeah some of the connections maybe get a little unstable (there’s actually descent support bases) but we’re talking about building a marble run towers taller than my 6 year old. If it falls and crashes who cares, just rebuild a new one! They’ll only cry temporarily and you can re-acquire the “cool” pieces your kids wouldn’t share after the crash and barter them back for promises of baths and chores.
The marbles are glow in the dark. My wife informed me of this on day 2. So build your tower at dusk and then prepare for the spectacular marble light show extravaganza.
In all honesty, this is a great set. Lots of pieces, peak interest in creativity, and I especially appreciate there were no published designs. It forced us to be creative and design our own runs.

Product Description
Very fun & kids love it but a few unusable pieces
The kids (ages 4,6,8) love this marble run! It entertains them for hours and the glow in the dark marbles are so cool. Unfortunately two pieces were flawed, and we already threw away the box. I wish there was a way to get a few replacement pieces than return the whole set!
