Swissminiatur presents important Swiss buildings, monuments, and sites in miniature. Built in 1959, the mini open-air park sits on the shore of Lake Lugano in Switzerland's Italian-speaking region. Covering an area of 1.4 hectares (3.5 acres), over 120 models of Swiss sites are displayed at a scale of 1:25. The park features moving attractions, including a 3,560 m (11,680 ft) model railway with 18 miniature trains, several cable cars ascending mountains, boats on lakes, and moving cars on highways. The miniature buildings are interspersed throughout a green park that features 1,500 different species of plants and flowers.

Beautiful grounds replica of Swiss famous places with functions, great for the children and the parents. The location in Logano city outskirts is great advantage. Well enjoyed.

Unique experience. Lovely setting, great attention to detail. Unfortunately, the food is terrible. Please offer more variety, especially vegetarian options!

Very cute. Highly recommend to visit if you're near lugano! Super fun to see all the landmarks in mini size. The only downside is the very limited food options. Recommended bringing some food to have a picnic nearby or at the place as it's right next to the lake.

I love the place. Very relaxing and fun not only for kids but also for adults. If you don't like walking then they also have this small train where you can sit back relax and enjoy the Wonderful scenery. Will visit again. ♥️🇨🇭

If you are nearby and you have kids age 9 or less it is worth the visit. In all other cases just take a walk next to the lake :). The place looks a bit not maintained, but the idea is nice.
