Thames & KosmosPinball Machine Maker STEM Experiment Kit Toy of the Year Finalist - Build a Reconfigurable Pinball Machine, Explore Physics, Force, Motion, Gravity, Simple Machines, Gumballs Included

My kids love this pinball machine and think it’s so much fun! My son enjoyed putting it together and it creates a great STEM activity. The only downside is that it comes with gum balls to use instead of a longer lasting option or small marble.

very inexpensive and this provided a lot of entertainment for such a cheap purchase.

While assembly for the Pinball Game was a bit time consuming and did not keep our child's attention, we (my husband and I) enjoyed putting it together.Once assembled everyone in our family has enjoyed taking turns playing pinball and trying really hard to get a gumball (no one has done it yet).While we have all enjoyed this pinball game, I couldn't give it 5 stars because of the time consuming assembly, the gumballs easily jump out of the game, and the baseboard seems to be slightly warped. The warped base is one of the reasons the gumballs jump out of the game. We did put up barriers to keep the gumballs from dropping to the floor.Our youngest who is 7 y/o does enjoy thqt some pieces can be moved around. She has been trying to figure out how to place them to help any of us actually win.

My 32-year-old son has taken a sudden interest in pinball. Of course, growing up he didn’t even know what a pinball machine was. As much as I love my only son, I couldn’t seem to swing a real pinball machine so I bought this for him for Christmas and he got such a kick out of it. It’s a very fun toy-I guess

This is a great concept and it’s fun, the problem is the balls used sometimes can be uneven and don’t roll very well, great novelty toy but the excitement goes away quickly.

They end up handling the gumballs a lot then putting them in their mouth so maybe set up some handwashing rules:). Gum isn’t great quality and gets grainy fast. The build your own pinball machine is awesome. Took a bit to assemble pieces. Great value.

Such a fun gift. My 9 year old spent s chunk of the day building it and then days playing with it. He likes that it sits on counter in his room and it comes out still when friends come over.

Many parts missing. We got it during prime day for my kid who's birthday is in Aug. Today she opened it and got excited. But we got so many missing parts and return window already passed.
