I had a really enjoyable time. This place is impressive! My favourite part was the old timey carnival scene with all the tents and spinning rides. Seeing Canada's history portrayed through the railways was really cool. And the fantasy and castle models were beautiful. We had about 2 hours of enjoyment here!
It kinda exceed my expectation because I thought it was only a small place and nothing much to see but when I there its much bigger and has a lot of display. I like how some of the display are interactive which the kids love. It’s educational too.
This was our favorite place to see throughout our vacation in Victoria. It was just kitschy and cool and inspiring, enlightening, weird, and wacky. I couldn't put it words how incredibly neat it was. Some of the exhibits had historical themes and interpretation, including a miniature scale model of a real working sawmill that showed how logs were cut and moved throughout the mill. We had so much fun here.
A must-visit place! We bought the tickets in advance since they sell them without a specified time, making it flexible. Both kids and adults had fun exploring the miniature world."
The Miniature World Museum provided a delightful journey through time, catering to history enthusiasts and those with a penchant for nostalgia. The intricate displays beautifully showcased old cities, diverse architecture, and snapshots of both urban and rural life. The attention to detail was particularly impressive, capturing the essence of wars, various occupations, and the ordinary lives of people.
The museum cleverly brought childhood book stories to life through meticulously crafted miniatures, adding an entertaining touch to the visit. Spending about an hour exploring, we found interactive buttons in some sections that added an extra layer of enjoyment as characters and elements came to life with a push.
Visiting on a quiet Friday afternoon allowed us to appreciate the exhibits at our own pace. However, I longed for narrations or informative audio guides for a deeper understanding of each display. Additionally, improved air circulation would enhance the overall experience.
Overall, the Miniature World Museum offers a charming and educational experience, making it a must-visit for both kids and history enthusiasts alike.

Visited this place on a friends recommendation even though it wouldn’t normally be an activity I’d pick - no regrets. It was a super fun experience. There is so much to see, so much detail captured in each scene. Even the carpet of the exhibit is on theme with the miniature in front of it. My favourite part was the miniature log processing machines! So interesting.

It was amazing experience. I enjoyed every single miniature dioramas and displays they have. The effects, lights and sounds made it incredible. It's a wonder mini world I ever seen.
