a brilliant park and absolutely well idealized as well…. jux give u idea about whole of turkey…
Models of almost all the famous attractions of turkey's historical building are here,press a button on models it will start telling you what it is in your own language.We took a taxi from Eyup sultan mosque,after we finished there,about 10-minutes ride from Eyup sultan.
A graet place to visit if you are travelling with young kids or teenagers. My teenage daughters liked this miniature park the best. You can see all the important buildings in Turkey in miniature scale-each has a audio facility to describe the importance of the structure.Highly recommended.
interesting place excellent for histoy buffs, weather was bad so didnt get time to marvel at all the mini monuments.
It is full of small models of most important building and historical places in turkey.bring your camera,have fun.
All Turkish historic attraction are represented by models where you can enjoy visiting in one day. Do not miss the Helicopter simulation tour which we liked.
Miniaturk was brilliant as it had all the information you need about Istanbul and the history of the historic locations. I advice you to visit Miniaturk before visiting any location to learn more about the city's history and the buildings' history as well. There is audio for each landmark and available in many languages for your desire.
You can find every small piece from Turkey's precious place. Miniaturk besides the Golden Horn and opposite of Eyup Sultan Mosque.
We have seen not just Istanbul but most part of Turkey. The minitiatures look exactly the same as most of the actual scenes. And take note that they are giving free audio card in language of your choice that you can just swipe and listen to while it explains carefully. It is very interesting..
Visit this place to get to see the miniature turkey in one go in a park. Very good enjoyable place! Its in the Asian side. When you go there, don't forget to go in their photo booth to dress up as a king/queen and get your photo taken… That is very memorable!
