what are giant marble runs?
Giant marble runs are playful, large-scale installations that transform parks, trails and public spaces into shared experiences. They invite people to pause, participate and connect, creating moments of joy that resonate across all ages.
Marble run trails offer a unique way to combine play with the natural environment. Whether subtly woven into the surroundings or designed as eye-catching, themed focal points, they encourage hands-on, interactive play in any setting. Accessible to all ages and free to enjoy, they are simple to operate and low-maintenance once installed.

not just for kids
One of the key benefits of a Giant Marble Run is the multigenerational appeal. From toddlers to seniors, everyone can interact and play.
Giant marble run trails are great for families with children of a range of ages, encouraging parents and grandparents to actively engage with their children, and adults without children who want an active and enjoyable activity. This shared experience helps strengthen social connections and creates inclusive spaces where everyone feels welcome to join in.
form and function
Giant marble runs are designed specific to their location. Their form is entirely flexible, shaped by story, theme or terrain.
They can be gentle, meandering paths that invite quiet exploration or fast-paced tracks that race through dynamic landscapes. Imaginative and adaptable, giant marble runs spark curiosity, encourage discovery and create meaningful connections with the environment, whether in urban spaces or in the heart of nature. We work collaboratively to ensure each installation balances creative ambition with practical, long-term use.
business benefits
The installation of a Giant Marble Run will enhance the visitor experience by increasing footfall, extending dwell time and generating ongoing revenue through the sale of branded balls.
