Madurodam is a miniature park and a major tourist attraction in The Hague, Netherlands. The park is located in the Scheveningen district of the city and features miniature 1:25 scale model replicas of the most famous Dutch castles, industrial projects and public buildings. Guests are treated to a trip through the history of the country and its famous buildings. Not only that, but they can also enjoy a hands-on experience while exploring the park.
Madurodam first opened its doors on July 2, 1952 and has seen more than 50 million visitors since that day. It was originally established as a monument to the resistance hero George Maduro. This miniature city receives more than half a million visitors each year. Revenue from the attraction is put towards the Madurodam Support Fund Society, which benefits children in need.
The park features a number of hands-on experiences that help to make Madurodam more interactive and fun for visitors of all ages. Visitors can even load containers onto a cargo ship in the miniature port of Rotterdam, help a plane take off at Schiphol airport or prevent a great flood by operating the Oosterscheldekering storm surge barrier.
In addition to digital screens, users are also given a personal smartphone to use throughout the park. This device provides a media-rich experience that explains the story behind each object. There are three areas in the park and a playground for children.

Hi @Rezgar,
This place looks amazing. I know that there are such miniature parks in other countries and cities as well. Even in my country there was a park like this one, but it was a temporary project so the visit was possible in limited period of time.
The Madurodam must be seen. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Cheers,
Marin

Hi, I am a fan of railways in mines and trains, including miniature indoor and outdoor train installations, it's a passion I've had for many years; I know the park you've published, I've never been there, I've been attracted to images of this place taken in the years 1960-1970; today with your images I have appreciated this place more,
congratulations for your images!
