Newest Review: ... I don't think these would keep children entertained for very long these days. The House of Marbles also have various marble runs, all created by a swiss inventor over 10 years ago, these are fascinating to watch, they have a few small ones in glass cabinets which I could have spent hours watching, each time a marble went down the track it would flick a switch so the next marble took a ... more

 ... completely different route and so on. These are precision made marble runs where the timing is spot on, I would image these took years to design and build. Once you have finished looking at he small marble runs then you move on to the large one which proba...more

Premium Review House of Marbles: Something different to look around (806 words)

My dad recently told us about The House of Marbles as he had been to see it with relatives; he loved it so much he wanted to take us to see it so at the weekend we went with him to take a look around. The House of Marbles is very easy to find its in Devon between Plymouth and Exeter on the A38, just off the Drumbridges roundabout (Trago Mills roundabout) towards Bovey Tracey, it has the usual brown tourist attraction signs to follow so you cant miss it. The House of Marbles was not at all what I was expecting; I kind of had it in my head that if my dad enjoyed it then it would be boring for younger people and I'm pleased to say that I was wrong and ...  Read the complete review

When I was on holiday my girlfriend suggested that we grouped together a load of those flyers you can find on racks in pubs, swimming pools and the like, then decide where we would go. I will write about the other places soon but this one was the cheapest, in fact it was free. If you’re anything like me, when you go out you want to be entertained so if you are going to spend half a day in one place it must have plenty to see and do…. At first glance the flyer gives a fair idea of what you are in for, but I still had my doubts and was sure that this would be an hours trip to a glass shop. How wrong I was, for a start we were there ...  Read the complete review

The House of Marbles is situated in Bovey Tracey, Devon. It’s pretty easy to find, you just have to head for the Drumbridges Roundabout (if you are travelling from South of Bovey), this is the roundabout that goes to the Newton Abbot branch of Trago Mills. From the roundabout you then head to Bovey Tracey and keep going straight until you reach a mini roundabout where you take the first exit. There is a sign here directing you the few hundred yards of the rest of the way and the building can be found on your right. Should these directions not be enough for you their full address is: House of Marbles, Pottery Road, Bovey Tracey, Newton Abbot ...  Read the complete review

You will absolutely not run out of things to do! Excellent value for money, cheaper attraction tickets which allow you to queue jump. The ticket is extremely flimsy, keep it safe! Also, not enough time to do everything.
