Mini World Lyon is an animated miniature park of 4,500 square metres (1.1 acres) in the leisure center of Carré de Soie in Vaulx-en-Velin, a commune in the Metropolis of Lyon, in France. This park has been open since June 30, 2016.
It is to date the largest amusement park of its kind in France. The project was inspired by the success of Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany.




History


According to Mini World Lyon park director Richard Richarté, the inspiration to build the miniature park came after having built a model house at home with his daughter. After having built that single model he says he went online looking for miniature models and came across Miniatur Wunderland. He says that he visited this park a week later and inspired by it conceptualised the idea and construction of his park, it took him four years from idea to opening of the park to the public.
