Okay, so it sounds kind of goofy to visit a museum of train models if you’re not a train enthusiast, but this was no ordinary model train exhibit. It really lived up to the name “Miniature Wonderland” and is a must-see when visiting Hamburg.
Throughout the attraction, you visit cities and regions of the world. Miniature trains, cars, planes, and people move around the exhibits.
One of the best areas was America (and I’m not just saying that because I’m American…I think…)
But my favorite exhibit was a collection of models of the cities of Hamburg and Berlin before, during, and post-WWII. It was amazing.
Another favorite was a giant airport. The planes took off and landed–it was so cool!
City life was amazing.
It was snowing in Scandanavia…
And if you’re hungry, you can take a break and grab some food in an airplane cafeteria!
The museum can, surprisingly, get very busy–particularly over holidays and breaks. We waited about two hours. You can get real-time updates on the wait time on their website: http://www.miniatur-wunderland.de/. Scroll down the left side of the page. You can purchase tickets ahead of time, for a particular time slot, which I recommend! It’s a nice half-day attraction if you’re in the area.
