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!

My 5 year old grand -daughter plays with this for hours on end. Really helps work the mind on all you can do with it.

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.

If your child loves to build and solve, this is great. My son kept busy with this toy for hours building all different courses for the marbles. Came with plenty of marbles which is so nice because they easily roll away to nowhere and are never seen again. (:Easy to assemble and store. We all enjoy this toy!

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.

It's fun but falls apart easily. My son loved it.

My little ones are going to love this ! I got it as a Christmas and they love marbles so the fact that they light up is super cool
