This is one of those tourist attractions that look like a real boring ripoff. They have signs and brochures everywhere. My kids got sucked into the place by all the ads, so in we went. I loved it.

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
