National Geographic Marble Run with Motorized Elevator - 150-Piece Marble Maze Kit with Motorized Spiral Lift, 30 Marbles, Storage Bag & More, Perpetual Motion Machine, Kids Physics Toys

The National Geographic Marble Run is hands-down one of the best STEM toys I’ve bought. The pieces are sturdy, colorful, and fit together securely, which means the tracks stay stable even during high-speed marble races. The set comes with plenty of pieces to build multiple designs, and the instructions are clear while still leaving room for kids (and adults!) to get creative.My nephews love experimenting with different track layouts, and I love that they’re learning about gravity, momentum, and problem-solving while having a blast. The marbles run smoothly without getting stuck, and the variety of track pieces (funnels, ramps, and twists) keeps things exciting.It’s the perfect blend of educational and entertaining — a great gift for curious minds that will keep them engaged for hours. Highly recommended for both family fun and hands-on learning!

Such a great gift for kids that are hands on and creative. Can’t go wrong with a toy like this!

I had to write a review this time. So my daughter is 7 years old and ever since she was 5 I got her her first glow-in the dark marble run. I got her the small package then the medium one, for a christmas dad got her the big one. Keep in mind they can all connect together. I also got the extended pack and now this Motorized one. I love every single marble run. My daughter is also autistic so this has helped us tremendously. It has helped her build patience, it has helped her bring out creativity, also it works for turn taking when rolling down the marbles. So yeah I highly recommend this to anyone. But it has to be “National Geographic” if not is not the same.

The media could not be loaded. This NG Marble Run was a huge hit with my 5 and 3-year-old. The elevator upgrade was a great addition to the original set they had as toddlers. While they love building and playing with it for hours, it can be tricky to assemble on their own and isn't very sturdy. Actually, that is a main reason why I put 4 stars. However, once built, it provides fantastic entertainment. We bought the 150-piece set, which is plenty, and the quality is good. The only downside is the limited number of marbles (a storage box would be helpful to avoid the mess, and collect balls around the house). Overall, it's a fantastic toy for siblings of different ages.

visiting 6-year-old grandson played with it for hours!!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:National Geographic is a great company so I figured the product should be well thought out. Ease of assembly:My three year old has very little trouble building her marble runs. It's super easy to build and enjoy. Variety of pieces:Lots of pieces although I wish there were more additional sets to add on. Design:It's the best marble run we've had so far.

I ordered this for my 4, 6, and 8 year old grandchildren for Christmas. Each age child has different skill sets for building marble runs but they all spent the better part of Christmas Day playing with this great toy. They especially love building a constant motion marble run using the battery powered screw lift which is so clever. There's one little quirk about the screw lift; you have to press all the clear tubing pieces together really well to make sure the screw will pop the marble out of the top of the tube. Once you figure that out there are hours of fun for children and adults helping children play with this great toy. Very highly recommend getting one with the screw lift. Very easy to assemble and play with right out of the box.

This was a fun piece but it is not constructed to stay together. The motorized elevator kept slipping and there are some very small parts thst we’re still trying to figure out . No instructions
