Marble Mountain Machine

Welcome to Marble Mountain, a five-star resort where you can hang out on the ski jump, at the skate park, in a fantasy castle, on a roller coaster, at the golf course, and more… as long as you’re a half-inch marble.

That’s right. Californian Ben Tardif has spent the last three years creating this incredible activity course just for marbles. It’s made of 25 individual sections that fit together to make 32 possible paths for the little marbles to explore. And the coolest part? He made it all by himself, from materials he got at the craft or hardware store.

Check out the video below to see Marble Mountain in action:

What do you think, readers? Pretty amazing what you can do with a little creativity and persistence.
