    Lyon's mini world proves to be an astonishing experience. The level of enjoyment it provided surpassed my expectations. It serves as an excellent destination for individuals of all ages, catering to both children and adults alike. The meticulous attention to detail in every little piece is commendable, and an added delight lies in discovering renowned characters discreetly concealed amidst the crowd, a delightful endeavor for visitors.

    I'm absolutely obsessed with this place! In terms of square meters, it's not really that big. However, because the displays are made of miniatures, there's so much to see. I thought I would maybe spend 30-45 minutes here, but before I knew it, two hours had passed by. There are so many interesting and silly details to explore in the displays, such as someone hanging on for dear life off a derailed roller coaster cart and a murder scene in an apartment building. The mini Lyon feature is amazing. It has all the important Lyon landmarks, although some stuff isn't geographically correct, but who cares when it's all there and accurately depicted. If you're a local, the annual pass is totally worth it because it's just a hair over two times the cost of one adult admission. This is a family-friendly place, but adults will enjoy it as much as the kids will.

    Quite an amazing place, not what we expected. Great quality of the miniatures and the diorama. Attention to details is visible. Lot's of funny elements too. Worth a visit. Takes about 2 hours to see it all.

    I don’t think I have ever seen such attention to detail . It is magical a mini world indeed . So many small details and humor in the scenes ... I could gladly stay in there all day !!! I wish in the future they expand it with more cities and worlds!

    Beautiful day out. You would love this if you loved netherworld miniature world. And in short this is great for all ages. I loved the level of attention to details they gave in creating in this.

    So much more fun that I thought! Was fascinating watching the changed from day to night and the fireworks display at night time. Enjoyed by my 3, 7 and 10 year old. They were particularly fascinated by some of the tiny details.

    I came here because it was included in the Lyon City Card and I enjoyed my time here (even though it seems like it’s more for kids). They have a lot of displays with miniature dolls and scenes. They even give you a booklet to try to find all the popular ones like Marilyn Monroe, Aliens, Mary Poppins, Harry Potter, Nemo, Jurassic Park, etc. I wouldn’t come here again alone (as an adult), but I would definitely come here with kids and easily spend 2h: trying to find all the characters. It also wasn't crowded when I came during the weekend.

    Die Austellung ist echt cool und super an einem etwas verregneten Tag. Leider kommen auf die Idee viele Leute und so war es echt voll, aber die nette Kassiererin hat mir empfohlen den Rundgang von hinten anzufangen, wodurch es zu Beginn sehr angenehm und leer war. Die speziellen kleinen "Easter Eggs" zu Filmen oder Comics sind echt cool und man kann super viele Kleinigkeiten entdecken. Ich würde wieder hingehen, aber eventuell so, dass es etwas leerer ist.

    Viele schöne Details zu entdecken und so manches zum schmunzeln. Sehr gut gefallen hat uns die Expo mit den Dinos, die beweglich sind und auch in Miniatur in der Miniworld gefunden werden können. Meine Kinder waren begeistert. 1 Stern Abzug, weil sich zu wenig in den Miniaturwelten bewegt und eher Stilleben gleicht.

    Great models and trains. Lots of funny jokes! Food in the cafe was pretty terrible.... take your own.

  • 5/5 Nopphol T. 6 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    A very interesting place to visit. All the models are very well managed and there are some animations all over the place. There are some models from many movies or cartoons that make it even more interesting. Easy parking.

    I kept avoiding to visit this place for some reason but finally went. It was nothing like I'd expected. I loved that place. Suddenly I became a kid once again. The place was huge and magical, full of small details. And you got to find small dinosaurs 🦕

    We spent a few very enjoyable hours here with our daughters

  • 5/5 Mark B. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! Mini world was so fun! It kept my two < 5 year-old children entertained for hours. It was easy to get to from the metro station. The staff were friendly and helpful.

  • 5/5 Florin A. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful place, very detailed and realistic "worlds" are represented. The night and day perpetuum is well done, too. The kids also liked the "shows" (music, projections on the walls). Very small fixes are needed here and there.

  • 4/5 Marc D. 2 years ago on Google
    Superb day out with the family. We have been inside for over 3 hours en my boyz loved it. A lot of details end funny things to find and everything inside the mini world is in french and englisch.

  • 5/5 Johannes Jacob H. 1 year ago on Google
    Way way more fun than I thought it would be. It was very fun looking at all the Easter eggs and all the hidden people "making love". It's a place you could spend the whole day and still find new things to look at

  • 5/5 Benoit S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to visit for kids and adults alike. You can spend hours looking for all the funny little things hidden all over the place, all the pop culture references, plus whatever is the current theme (Jurassic World right now so dinosaurs are sprinkled across all the scenes). And kudos if you manage to find all the Waldo's.

  • 5/5 Julien J. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice place for kids and adults. Lots to see and trying to find movie characters and cartoon is fun! The Lego exhibit is good too. You should get your tickets online for a given day, it less expensive. The lunch place is pretty good which decent price.

    Amazing place to visit with children, where myself I felt like kid. A lot of small details made with love. Light and music show. Exposition is growing and we’ll be happy to return. Easy access from the free parking of commercial center.

    I visited your magnificent display in 2019. I would be sure there are better displays, but I have not found them, yet! You have presented a superb piece of entertainment. Tre Bonn. Albany, Western Austraia.
