Meland Marble Run Sets for Kids - 153Pcs Marble Race Track Maze Madness Game STEM Building Tower Toy for 4 5 6 + Year Old Boys Girls(113 Pcs + 30 Glass + 10 Led Lighted)

My sons cannot get enough fun from this set. They are obsessed with it. It has been a great birthday present and I will definitely be looking into expanding the set with more pieces. Excellent toy for kids that love to explore and learn. Such a great learning toy while having a great time.

Perfect for Sensory Seekers—Endless Fun!I got this Marble Works toy for my sensory-seeking son, and it has been an absolute hit! He loves watching the marbles twist, turn, and race down the tracks, and the movement and sound keep him completely engaged. It’s the perfect combination of hands-on play and visual stimulation.The set is sturdy, easy to assemble, and allows for endless creativity—he loves building different designs and experimenting with how the marbles will flow. It’s also a great way to encourage problem-solving and fine motor skills while keeping him entertained for hours.If you have a child who loves movement, cause-and-effect play, or just needs a fun sensory outlet, this toy is a must-have. Highly recommend!

This is compatible/same run as the more expensive National Geographic one. I made the mistake of buying 2 of those first and still never having enough parts to do great builds. On this set there was one piece broke but it doesn’t effect the performance, the lighted marbles are very cool but as some people already mentioned they need to be smaller and heavier to not get stuck. My 4 year old is not offended by it and absolutely loves them so it’s not a deal breaker. It needs to have a couple more sturdy base pieces and would be nice to have some longer support pieces so it doesn’t fall as easy. The marbles get stuck a little in some of the spots sometimes, needs minor tweaking. Overall, we bought it for $39 and may just buy another one because there are many cool pieces and love the xl free style builds. Bought the largest one.

My kids love this!!! It keeps them busy. Because of the different chutes, they can have a race to see whose marble wins. I’m not giving it a 5 because the neon marbles do not get fit. They are too big and get stuck. A lot of pieces to put together but worth it.

Great quality! Marble run is a favorite here! Assembly possibilities create hours of fun!

I read tons and tons of reviews for different marble runs before settling on this one. I agonized over the reviews that appeared on almost every different marble run, saying the pieces don't hold together and the structures fall apart. I ended up buying this one, despite a few negative reviews, and it works great! The pieces hold together very nicely, and my 7-year-old and almost-4-year-old love playing with it. When we first got it, they spent no less than 6 hours that day playing with it, and at least 4 hours a day for the next few days. It slowly petered out over a week or 2, and they gradually lost interest, but will still get it out every few weeks and play with it for an hour or so. Not bad for $40. I love that it comes with a handy, drawstring bag so we can pack it all away, all together, and the pieces don't get lost. It's also great that it came with so many marbles, because somehow those DO disappear, despite our best efforts. For the reviews saying structures fall over; this is not really a fault of the toy, in my experience. You do have to build with a little intelligence, setting the towers up in a triangular or square pattern (or any kind of staggered pattern, really) for stability, not all in a straight row, which would be easily knocked over. My kids learned this very quickly. My 7-year-old very quickly learned to build complex, fully functional structures. My almost-4-year-old likes to run the marbles down structures that someone else builds, or just play with the pieces, connecting and disconnecting them, sorting the colors, collecting and hoarding marbles, etc. He doesn't quite "get" the concept of making a functioning marble run on his own yet, but that is fine; both kids enjoy the toy a lot. Only 2 pieces in the whole set do not quite work properly; the two that look like curving roller-coaster tracks; they are just slightly warped, and the balls would stop running on them, so we stopped using them. All the rest work perfectly, and we are very happy with it.

This is pretty awesome marble run! And I have some point of reference. They existed years ago, but this is definitely an upgrade. So many versatile pieces to create amazing marble runs!Some reviews say it’s flimsy. I strongly disagree, you just need to know how to build it. There are plenty of wider support pieces for the legs. This thing can be build huge and we had it standing on soft carpet without tilting or falling, just build it right, level the hight correctly and place thicker support at the bottom. Plastic itself is thick and doesn’t feel cheap and thin.My son is turning 4 soon and obviously it’s hard to build for a younger child using that many pieces, so we let him build only with limited amount. It’s a wonderful toy to grow with your child. And honestly, great for adults!One con is the lightning plastic balls are too light to roll with enough force, they get stuck and create “traffic jams”. But glass marbles are just fantastic. It comes with a ton of them.

Lots of fun, but missing pieces, specifically most of the base pieces.
