Funny, creative and exciting.

Bought for my daughter. It's fun and easy to build. The guide is easy to follow. There are many ways to build a track, so once you figure out where to place the pieces you can get creative. It builds abstract thinking and simple problem solving.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Reliability

More than a toy for a 7 year old

This was a Christmas present for my 7 year old son. He liked it very much. This is a well thought out toy. Actually it's amazing for adults like me. My son and I have many ideas, such as pairing this product with popular stones (I'm not using the product name here, but you can easily guess). This gives my son an idea of how interesting and important gravity is. The only downside is that it's a bit more expensive. There are some optional parts, sold separately, that are fun to play with, but not

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Available in white only

Would buy again. Durability is not an issue

Gave it to my son for his 9th birthday. I know some people are put off by cardboard but I find it durable and everything falls into place after 10 hours of continuous use. Good product. Happy that STEM has it. Durable and will most likely buy expansion packs as my son loves it. Overall fun for the kids and I won't lie I played it after my son went to bed. My wife seems less impressed with my tracks than my son's. I'll make them watch my balloon walk. I think she will come.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Unreliability

Fun but tricky and difficult to set up

Once the track is fully customized to the design that comes with the kits you buy through GraviTrax, it's really a lot of fun. However, this is difficult for children to set up because the instructions, although quite detailed, are not clear. Also, I've tried (as an adult) to build a few tracks from scratch, and while I managed after a lot of effort, I don't think kids will be able to create their own concepts. However, we really like it and recommend it to anyone willing to invest time inโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Limited expandability in North America

This toy had a lot of potential but the company behind it couldn't deliver. The company is terribly incompetent and most of the products are not available in North America. Just search online for Gravitrax products in Europe and then see if you can buy this; nope! Sure, pay double or more (product + tax + shipping) and you can import it. Or wait until it shows up here at Revain, where it shows up occasionally but is being sold at twice or more MSRP. Then call their support team and see if youโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Negative impression

Best marble run toy

I am an adult who bought an XXL set and several hammers, shovels, folding accessories to finally try my hand at marble running again. Now freehand building is a lot of fun and you can do lots of really varied and useless runs, but the full potential of what you can create is unlocked with the Gravitrax app, which includes a kid-friendly 3D AutoCAD version for this kit. That's right, you can design multi-level, multi-dimensional runs of insane depth and tricks, test runs for potential bugsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • There are nuances

Complicated Marble Walkway

I wanted something less cumbersome and boring than the vertical marble towers you build with plastic cubes. My 7 year old enjoyed watching them but they were unreliable, tipped over and were so noisy when the balls went through them! So we tried that. We've played with it a lot and it's always interesting and new. If you're building a huge track, be prepared to invest time and effort into it. I play with it because it takes a lot of critical thinking and planning ahead to make it work. Butโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Awesome Construction
Cons
  • Alright
