The Miniatürk experience

The park’s 1:25 scale models are precise and detailed, offering a rare chance to compare the country’s heritage all at once. Families and children will appreciate hands-on stations that illuminate displays or play classic Turkish songs, adding a fun and engaging touch for all ages. Listen as your audio guide shares behind-the-scenes stories, myths and facts about iconic landmarks such as the Bosphorus Bridge, Pamukkale’s terraces and the Trojan Horse.
Beyond the models
Miniatürk offers more than miniature marvels. Enjoy additional features like a working miniature railway, model boat pond and even a helicopter simulation.
