It sounded so much like a place to take the kids to amuse them on a rainy day. We ignored it until our last day in Victoria and then went when it was nearly closing time so we ended up feeling rushed through it.

We took our 6 and 2 year olds. It was fun for the whole family. I can honestly say both adults enjoyed the tour just as much as the children.

During past visits I've always avoided this place and figured it was just another tourist trap. Actually it is...but I was pleasantly surprised with the detail and number of exhibits. Miniature World is nicely put together and worth a visit...at least once more
