My son loves it! I’d definitely recommend

I bought this for my kids to paly with on rainy days! I'm so shocked that it sticks to everything ! You could literally take this on the train and keep your little ones entertained on the longest of journeys ! It even sticks to textured wallpaper, which only proves the quality, had this product for a while now and it's very robust. I have 5 children and apart from losing the odd piece what we do have is still in excellent working condition ! Very well made, and a fantastic product ! Thank you :)

7 year old loved it. Works well on a window. Haven’t tried it on other surface. More to think about than a standard marble run.

Fun but the attachments stick to window with a sticker making them one use only. Not ideal, not sustainable.

My Son loves these and sticks them on his window for a marble run!

it looks good on the packaging however don't assume like me that it has suction pads and hence your child can set it up on a tiled wall or shower screen. absolutely rubbish. A right faff to set it up meaning you have to unstick and then re-stick the sections before the marble run operates correctly. once the marbles are running, they knock some of the sections off the surfaces meaning they fell into the water and lost their stickiness. even if you set this up on a window or other smooth surface not over a bath, it would only be a matter of time before the pads loose their stickiness as you cant really move it around and reuse it like it says. would have made WAY more sense to fix suction pads to the elements. Complete waste of plastic and time.

Me llegó abierto la caja

I bought 3 of these for my grandson's they spend hours playing with it. The stickers aren't as sticky as I'd like so I used tape too. But apart from that even the adults love it. Excellent product for kids and adults too 😆

edit: the 8 year olds I worked with ADORED this and the 5 year olds.... some were able to figure it out and found it really interesting!!! Others kind of struggled with how it worked and gave up and lost interest relatively quickly. And found another play choice in our space. I didn't have a ton of time to walk them through it and I didn't have that many track/etc/materials for each child but. But plenty loved this! The good: I have merely tried sticking 2 connectors, a track, and a catcher to my glass sliding door to my patio and it worked great! I was thrilled. It was kinda fun as a 31 year old assistant teacher and leader of an after school care program! The bad/surprising: I was absolutely NOT read for how FAST this marble run can potentially go if you curve the bendable tracks. It can go really, really fast. Maybe that's a benefit to some. Not really here. I work with ages 5 to 8, but MOSTLY at the 5ish age range... some kids can be really sensitive to stimulus and overwhelmed so the QUITE FAST and NOISY, as well, nature of this marble run was something I was not expecting and am not particularly pleased with. Also, something about the nature of this toy is pretty hard, honestly. Predicting where the potentially fast marble is going to go next and using your imagination and guessing to figure out where the next track goes is hard. Even for a grown adult. I'm going to try to put this out for some 5 year olds and the brighter and more mature of them but I have a feeling it won't go so good. I see a return of this product in my future. A shame I'll probably end up having to return it because as soon as I saw this thing I thought "Wow!" Because I'm always looking for toys with suction cups for glass doors. I was a pre-k teacher for ages. Kids love that type of toy beyond words and it also makes what was previously a ONE USE and almost useless part of a room (just a glassdoor for only exiting) in to a play space which is useful. Ugh. Hope this works out. Maybe I"ll update it. I could see a 12 year old losing his mind over this. But yeah. Probably not for young ones. Oh, and because it's so fast you could maybe lose marbles and even do so quickly, unfortunately. Ugh.

This is a favorite now, for grandsons ages 6 & 8. They love marble works, and this presented an additional challenge. I worried they might not stick - they actually stick to a window very well. I wondered if the marbles could damage the window- not a chance. They played for hours. I ordered some additional sets the following day for the next time they come. A little challenging for the six year old at first, but big brother helped. I highly recommend this set - and I think it’s best to get at least one ‘add-on’ set.

Super fun - a toy that my 11 old son comes back to it all the time, he tinkers with the run set ups to optimize it!
