NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Glowing Marble Run – 150 Piece Construction Set with 30 Glow in the Dark Glass Marbles & Storage Bag, STEM Gifts for Boys and Girls, Building Project Toy (Amazon Exclusive)

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.

Perfect gift for a three year old!

This was a real hit with both my 8 year old granddaughter and her 2 year old little brother! Lots of fun and hours of play. It can be a bit unstable, but that all depends on the build....which is teaching them about constructing in a way that IS sturdy. The blue light to get the marbles to glow is pretty useless and only does one marble at a time, and the marbles don't glow for long, so I did order a separate ultraviolet light which will hopefully be faster and more efficient. But loads of fun and overall very pleased with the quality. This set actually has a lot of pieces to construct a variety of different builds.

The package was not complete, missing the essential lights so it would glow in dark

Good product, everythin was ok, the package arrived n time

Our grandson is very easily distracted and struggles to focus for long periods of time. This has been a blessing for him. He loves creating new designs and testing them over and over. The pieces are well made and the uv light works quickly on the marbles. The bag that came with it is pretty thin and torn within 2 days of having it. All in all, this was a great purchase and we're loving how much joy he's getting.

My daughter (8 yo) loves this set & have spent hours playing with it - assembling the pieces in different combinations, with many different elements. Marbles (multiple colors) glow nicely and you can see them going through the run. It’s pretty stable, but, of course, if you get to 4-5 ft, it becomes wobbly, so you may need to support it on a triangular base, etc. Altogether - fun, educational (engineering), looks nice, and it all fits in a relatively small box.

My grandson loved it. Perfect gift for eight years old.

This is bigger than you think it's going to be. Very engaging, kept my 7 and 10 year olds busy for days non-stop and once a week or so they'll spend an entire day reconfiguring it. (My husband and I may have build some things too😜). I love the storage bag it comes with to contain all the pieces, and the glow-in-the-dark marbles are really gorgeous! Highly recommend.

So much fun! Some review mention plastic is not good quality, but my two children launch pieces all over the place and they’ve survived. If the towers are not supported they will fall easily, which can be frustrating if you are trying to amend a structure. We’ve built many runs! It was played with day after day at Christmas! We have no doubts it is the best value for money marble run! The glowing marbles are a bonus! The storage bag (draw string net) has stayed in tact but think it could rip quite easily if not cared for so we keep the bag in the original box for storage or you could buy a storage box instead of using bag. One part has broken as it was one of two fragile parts and stood on! The little yellow pointy diverted clips on two parts are painful if they come off and get stood on! We still love it!

Es un juego STEM increible para los niños, se entretienen mucho armando y las canicas brillan en la obscuridad.

It is excellent product regardless of age. I had some issues with it at the beggining but seller sent a new one as quick as possible.

Génial pour moi le meilleur parcours de bille! Offert à mon fils de trois ans qui est un fan de parcours de bille , j’en ai acheté plusieurs mais celui là c’est le top 1 !
