This is a well made, fun, family educational toy. I bought it for my 5 year old grandson. I love that his parents have just as much fun playing with him with this. I think the family will get may years use with this marble run.

I still prefer this beautiful wooden run to any of the more plastic runs I've seen, but we lose some important usability with the loose fitting wood.There are so many good things about this marble run:- it's mostly wooden (some plastic connector bits)- it sounds so great as the marbles roll and click through the course- it's very pretty- it comes with SO MANY marbles!However, there are many frustrating aspects of this set as well. Most of these problems stem from the fact that the wooden pieces don't fit together very tightly. This is mostly an inherent problem with wood.- The overall structures are very easy to knock over, which is fine for adults, but is a big problem for young children.- The pieces are very fiddly to rotate into correct alignment, and need constant readjustment.- The little red plastic ramps consistently pop off after about 20 marbles go over them. These ramps seem somewhat unimportant, but are actually critical for ensuring the marbles proceed smoothly and have enough speed between parts.Also, it's annoying that there is nothing to catch the marbles at the end of the run. By default, you need to run around the room chasing marbles.Similarly, it'd be really handy if there were some sort of hopper or funnel to feed the marbles into at the start of the run.

Excelente producto. He comprado diferentes de la misma marca, muy buenos. Aunque no es para todos las personas.

I bought a small marble run in this line for my grandson, 6, for Christmas. He liked building that one and I think he will enjoy the challenge with this bigger one to add on. I counted all the pieces as other reviews have suggested to do so as sometimes pieces are missing (humans!). It’s true that it can easily get knocked over, but that’s all part of the challenge, and fun

Nothing ends complaints of boredom like playing with an adult, so this toy gets my full endorsement because I love to play with it. I may have made tracks during nap a time or two. 😉I bought this for a 2yo and a 5yo. Definitely think that even 5 is on the young side for playing with it AS INTENDED, however they have loads of fun with it anyway. They like stacking blocks, playing with the marbles, putting marbles through tracks that I free build, and the 5yo helps me build to plans and is learning the mechanics to make simple free builds.BUILD TIPS:For their age they need the build as stable as possible, so I always start with a circular base and keep the spiral pieces low in the build (see photo).If you don’t have marble traps for the exit, you can put a stopper in the center of the big spiral and use that as the last piece in the track to catch all the marbles.

Wir haben die Murmelbahn nun schon ein Jahr und es ist wirklich eines der wenigen Spielzeuge womit wirklich regelmäßig gespielt und gebaut wird. Die Bahn macht einfach Spaß. Man kann auch neben den in der Anleitung beschriebenen Bahnen sehr gut eigene bauen. Auch wie die Steine funktionieren lernen die Kinder schnell.Positiv:1. Es ist fast alles aus Holz.2. Die Steine sind so gefertigt, dass sie, wenn die Kugeln kommen nicht verrutschen. Bei vielen Bahnen anderer Hersteller muss man erst noch komplizierte Türme zur Stabilisierung daneben bauen. Das braucht man hier nicht. Die Bedienung ist kinderleicht.3. Sie macht immer wieder Spaß und auch nach einem Jahr wird es nicht langweilig.4. Es sind sehr viele Murmeln dazu. Da können auch mal ein paar unter das Sofa rollen.Negativ:Vorweg, die Punkte sind Kleinigkeiten.1. An den Richtungswechslern bildet sich manchmal ein Stau. Da muss man dann mit den Finger nachhelfen. Das passiert aber nicht sehr oft und ist auch von Stein zu Stein unterschiedlich.2. In der Anleitung ist grün und türkis nahezu nicht zu unterscheiden. Obwohl die Anleitung gut gedruckt ist.3. Es gibt noch separate Bauteile zum auffangen der Murmel am Ende der Bahn. Diese sind leider nicht mit dabei und müssten als Zubehör gekauft werde. Schöner wäre es, sie wären mit dabei. Da rollen nicht so viele Murmeln in der Gegend rum.Fazit : Tolles zeitloses Spielzeug. In Zukunft wäre es schön wenn es außer den Musiksteinen noch andere Sondersteine gibt. Die negativen Sachen sind bloß Kleinigkeiten. Deshalb keine Punkt abzug. Wir sind voll zufrieden.

I started looking at marble runs for my 4 daughters ages 3-12. At first, I was intrigued by the plastic ones, mostly because of their price. However, the more I researched, the more I was interested in the quality Hape Quadrilla wooden marble runs. What I love about this set is that my girls have to use critical thinking skills to build and then tweak the marble run to make the marble run smoothly all the way down. It isn't snapping plastic pieces together. Instead it's more like building with wooden blocks and tracks. We bought both the Cyclone set and the Music in Motion set. My 6 & 3 year old daughters love the Music in Motion set. My 8 and 12 year old love the engineering of the cyclone set. Honestly, I get into it, too! I'm already eyeing the next Hape Quadrilla sets I want! I love that this challenges my oldest girls and enchants my younger girls. I noticed some reviewers complained that the set comes apart easily....well, of course you want it to come apart! That's the whole fun of it- taking it apart and rebuilding into a completely different design! Why would you want one single fixed marble run? That would be boring! The fun is in engineering all different kinds of marble runs, with no 2 alike! The options for different designs makes this quality toy endless fun for a huge variety of ages! And by the way, I PAID FULL PRICE and NO ONE gave me anything for my review! LOL

Bought this for my 5 year old grandson's birthday.It is expensive to buy the whole run, and takes time to build. At his age, needs a lot of help with the construction but imagine that in another year he would happily design and construct the runs by himself. Once built it takes a little time to adjust so that the marbles don't fall off the track or come to a halt before the end of the run. You also have to be careful not to knock the construction as it is displaced very easily. But, a good well made toy overall which he is having fun playing with.

大人が楽しいし、キレイです。想定外の場所でビー玉が飛び出ることもあり。大きいし、壊れやすいし、一度作ると壊すのがもったいないので、広い場所がないと遊ぶのが面倒になっちゃうかも。また、三穴のレーンではビー玉の勢いが止まってしまって、ビー玉溜まりができてしまう。さらに、組立見本の本、カラーなのですが、緑と深緑のブロックの区別がつきません。印刷の質の問題だと思いますが、組み立て終えてから、玉の動きを見て調整するのが地味にイラつくポイントです。しかし、悪い点はそれくらい。からころとビー玉が転がる様子は大人も癒されます。

My 5yo son opened this as a Christmas present at 6:30 this morning and it is now almost 5pm, WE ARE STILL PLAYING WITH IT!! The enclosed instructions have multiple setups to erect and give you an idea of how to make your own in the process. The tracks can be a little shaky on carpet, but still work great. Instructions could be printed a little larger and with better color (hard to tell green blocks from teal in the pictures). But neither of these issues is enough to bring down the amount of fun it is to play with this item. Even without the instructions, it's a lot of fun to figure out how to make your own run that works. The wooden set actually makes my son determine what block he needs to make the run work and is more of a challenge for him. I would recommend this product to anyone who has a child that wants a wooden marble run as opposed to the plastic ones (my son let me pack up the plastic ones for donation this afternoon). After buying this item we are going to buy more sets soon!!
