Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Quadrilla Basic Set is a great introduction to the Quadrilla system. Quadrilla is the next generation of marble runs. It is a system of blocks, tracks and accessory pieces that allow the energy of a marble to travel down a make-your-own path. Beautiful wood tracks and a rainbow of colored blocks, each with a different function, are the starting point for endless constructions for marbles to drop to a new level, go right or left, swirl in a funnel, or pour out of a teeter totter. Quadrilla's versatile design allows a child to determine the marble's path and the options are endless. Simple 2 or 3 level switches or complex multi-level, multi-direction layouts are possible depending on the builder's understanding of the function of each piece. this is a logical, sturdy product where the process of building is as much fun as the process of playing.

Product Description

A wonderful 99-piece starter set for a youngster who is grown beyond just blocks and likes ading tricks and surprises to his designs. This set includes curved wood tracks, a funnel and an assortment of blocks.

Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
This toy is one of the best things we've gotten for our kids in a long time. It is made of solid wood pieces which can be fit together in different patterns, allowing marbles to roll down the track and through tunnels. It sounds very simplistic, but this is its charm! Our six year old son played with it for two days straight when he got it for Christmas, and soon his two older sisters were helping think of new ways to configure the marble run. I was impressed because Quadrilla is very sturdy when it's assembled, which avoids the frustrations we sometimes see with racetracks or Lego buildings that fall apart. I give this set five stars in all areas because it teaches physics, develops imagination and fine motor skills, and teaches children that not all fun toys have a joy stick, batteries or flashing lights. We plan to add to our basic Quadrilla set in the future. We already bought extra marbles in various colors to make "teams."

A little wobbly August 10, 2007
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
We love this after it is all set up. But, when my little boy (age 4) leans over to get another marble started or whatever, the whole structure falls down. It gets a little frustrating/ iritating. It the table MOVES, it's down.
We are thinking of glueing it all together. :)
It's OK-- I secretly wish I bought the $15 one at Target. It snaps together tight because it's made of plastic.
But, it is a cool toy and the marbles racing down the track and through the helix are just mezmerizing to all of us!

Quadrilla Marble Railway September 7, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this set for my daughter's 4 years old birthday, she absolutely loves it, she can play it for half an hour or even longer, even my wife enjoyed playing this with us. And all the kids who come to play in my house also love it. I am planning to buy more expansion sets to make it more fun.
