An open-air park on the Golden Horn featuring 1:25 scale models of Turkey's most significant architectural and historical monuments — from Hagia Sophia to Cappadocia to Ephesus — spread across a beautifully landscaped waterfront garden. It's genuinely enjoyable for adults curious about Turkish geography and history, not just children. A full circuit takes about 90 minutes. It's best visited on a clear day; the models are meticulously detailed and the setting along the Golden Horn is pleasant.
