I wouldn’t recommend visiting this place unless you’re a Turkish citizen. As a foreigner, I was charged $25 for entry, which felt excessive for what turned out to be a poorly maintained miniature park. Several exhibits were damaged or in disrepair, and many attractions required additional fees. Overall, it wasn’t worth the cost.

This place has its merits, but the pricing feels unfair for international visitors. While the experience is decent, the admission cost for foreigners seems disproportionately high compared to what's offered. The attractions are interesting, but the value doesn't quite match the price for non local guests.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this miniature park it's like seeing all of Istanbul in one place! The exhibits are exceptionally well kept and the overall experience was fantastic.

We had a very enjoyable visit overall, though some improvements could make it even better. Having knowledgeable guides available to offer photography tips would have been helpful for capturing the best angles of the miniatures. Unfortunately, we noticed several issues during our visit the airplane tracks weren't operational, the pool was empty, and some exhibits weren't functioning properly, which meant we missed out on seeing everything at its best. Despite these shortcomings, the experience was still quite good.

We had a wonderful time exploring Turkey's iconic landmarks in miniature form it's truly impressive to see them all together in one place. While we noticed several non functioning elements like the miniature train, airplanes, and boats, along with empty pools that were disappointing, these didn't overshadow our overall positive experience. The park still offers a unique and enjoyable way to appreciate Turkey's rich cultural heritage.

The miniature park offers a fascinating experience, showcasing Turkey's landmarks in impressive detail. We were pleasantly surprised by the affordable prices at the on site buffet, which made our visit even more enjoyable. While the exhibits themselves are the main attraction, having reasonably priced dining options available was a welcome convenience during our exploration.

Our visit was generally good, but we encountered issues with voucher validation at the entrance. The staff couldn't scan our GYG voucher initially, requiring us to request a replacement. While this technical hiccup didn't ruin our experience, it did cause some inconvenience and affected our overall rating. Once inside, we enjoyed the exhibits as expected.

As a visitor, the overall experience was decent. The monuments themselves are impressive and well constructed. However, the photos shown can be misleading. In reality, you can't get that close to the monuments due to the presence of barriers, and a few were even fenced off, which made it difficult to view them properly. While some of the signs included explanations in three different languages, others were written only in Turkish, which made it hard for international visitors to understan
