Is there something like this that's age appropriate for a 13 yr old?

What makes this so great for little children is the fact that it's oversized and less of a choking hazard. If you are looking for a similar concept for older kids, this brand makes a smaller version, with regular sized marbles, which is quite fun. There are quite a few options of different brands as well as different quantity sets that you can find on Amazon. I recommend searching "magnetic construction set" and checking out what's out there.

My daughter is 12 and absolutely loves it. I think it is good for up to pre-teens. Teenagers would enjoy it for a time, but would probably lose interest after awhile.

I enjoy doing it with my daughter! I think at 13 it might be enjoyable when watching tv or listening to music but she likely won't want her friends to know about it and she won't learn anything about fashion design. So fun but not cool at age 13.

I think it's kinda small for a 13 year old. Regardless of fun or for real practicing she could play it but probably wouldn't get what she wants out of it. I'd go a little bigger. Hope this helps!

I've sat at it, I think an adult could use this just fine. My 13 year old loves it.

I bought these for my nephew's 12th birthday and he loved them, so I would say 13 is still an appropriate age.

Ours son is 10 years old and he has enjoyed this set. They offer a free online lessons program, but he has not done anything with that yet.

depends on your intent, I'd say too small for a 13 year old, perfect for a 5-8 year old (ish) in my opinion

Yes, my 10/11 year old learned to fly this without too much trouble, so I would think a 13 year old can do it. We flew this for well over a year for many hours in a large field before just recently he crashed it and the tail broke. Well worth the money.

No , this is for ages 6 & up. There is a junior one that you can buy for 4 yr old kids.

A very smart 13 may tire of this quickly, depending on mechanical and electrical aptitude. My 11 year old son of an engineer enjoyed it longer than any other "toy" I have seen him with. I would recommend you give it too your niece with the knowledge that she can upgrade to a more complex kit when she has exhausted the possibilities with this one. I'm sure you and she won't be disappointed.

Hey, Hard to say. If they're getting into photography, it's fun. Smaller than the original exp and still is a bit expensive (about $1.10 per exp). If they're luke-warm over photo, they may bawk at it and prefer digital, esp if they're into social media and sharing pics with their friends. It depends on the 13 year-old, I'd say. Hope that was helpful.

Actually, this would be ideal for a 13 year old. I consider it less dangerous than a hair straightening iron. The metal plates are hot but as with all appliances, people should use common sense when using: i.e. don't dunk in water, etc.

I would recommend a lighter draw weight 1 piece for a 13 year old. Probably 30lbs and a good 1 piece fiberglass bow should be less expensive also.

I purchased this for my daughter right around 1 yr old and she has not been that into it. I do think it is a bit advanced. My 6 yr old likes to play with it. I think your daughter would enjoy it now and for a bit to come. It is rather small, which I prefer. It doesn't take up a lot of room, yet it has a lot of activities.

It might be good if he's in to smart phones or an iPad. Mine was for a 4 year old girl.

I'd say it's too small for a 13 yr old. I'd look at a concert body acoustic (if an acoustic is preferred) or an electric guitar/amp package which includes a headphone jack on the amp :).
