Mini World Lyon
Pôle du Carré de Soie, 3 Av. de Bohlen, 69120 Vaulx-en-Velin
Indoor miniature park of animated model railways and tiny worlds, with day-to-night light shows every twenty minutes.
This guide to Mini World Lyon follows Richard Richarte from gluing plastic walls on his garage floor with his daughter to founding a team of about twenty model makers set on building a miniature country under one roof. You'll hear how a trip to Hamburg's Miniatur Wunderland turned that hobby into a warehouse-sized park with roughly one hundred fifty trains and thousands of tiny figures cycling through invented lives. Watch the lighting shift gradually across the scenery as the display cycles from day into night.
