How Baby-Friendly is Miniature World?

63%Baby-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 63% Baby-Friendly: Babies enter free and strollers are allowed, but aisles are narrow and no dedicated nursing or diaper station exists; a brief look at bright lights is fine, yet longer stays may strain caregivers.

We visited Victoria and wanted to explore some of the recommended places, so we decided to check out Miniature World in downtown. While the displays were detailed and the information provided was good, we found the pricing for adults a bit too expensive for the overall experience. This attraction is definitely more enjoyable for kids than for adults. It works well as a short activity to do in Vict...

Loved all the miniature dioramas! I highly admire the work and dedication put into creating all these displays, especially the one of the lumbar mill with a well explained video playing of each working miniature machinery. That was far the most impressive cause the little machines in the video actually worked.

It was well. Worth our time and money. And if you wanna look at the detail, defin...

You might have to be into the idea to really appreciate what this place is all about. I was really into the art and detail of the miniatures and spent almost 2 hours looking and admiring the work. To me, it was amazing but you might think the time and $20 admi...
