Mini Israel
Mini Israel Review
One of the most popular attractions in Israel, this theme park is designed in the shape of the Star of David. The world's largest miniature city spreads over 13 acres and contains nearly 400 models of the most important historical, national, religious, and natural sites in the country. Worth an hour's visit, the site is especially fun for children. About 25,000 miniature "residents" have been meticulously created to present not just the physical, but also the cultural, religious, and social aspects of contemporary Israel. A walk through the park allows visitors to see and hear the people of different faiths and cultures that make up the country's human landscape.
