Get ready to be amazed by all the miniature and train exhibition in MinNature. Located just at Summit USJ, MinNature have so much to offered to visitors. Let's find out what it is!
It was a jaw dropping experience at MinNature, because all of the iconic buildings around Malaysia is replicated for us in a small miniature form.
But, it's more than that because I can sense Alvin's team passion and hard work towards building this miniature exhibition in Asia! You can call it as a family project because over 80 staff included their family and friends were helping to set-up this place that take more than 3 years.
This post will be endless if I don't break it into some point. Therefore, here are SIX FUN FACTS that you need to know about MinNature!
1. 17,000 Square Feet Full of Handcrafted Dioramas & Trains
Starting from Ticketing Counter, there are 19 exhibits & zones in total, that will make you go 'Wuhuuu!'. They have built more than 1,000 miniature building with more than 5,000 figures of numerous different themes and wonderlands.

One of them is Merdeka Square which was made based on the originals and recreated by 10 3D printers. Alvin's teams will be continuously striving to create new diorama and models, such as the Malaysia iconic building, Petronas Twin Towers.
All of the zones provide 360 degree view, and there are more than 40 trains circulating along the 2,600 feet long railways around the exhibition. Therefore, that made them as Asia's largest miniature and train exhibition.
2. Photography and Video is a MUST!
Usually, for exhibitions they don't allow taking any pictures. But, here at MinNature, they encourage you take as many pictures as you like.
I'm pretty sure you can't resist any of it, even a person like me who doesn't take a lot of pictures suddenly become attached to the camera.

| I really love this colourful tree! |
The more I see and focus on each of the exhibition I become curious and amazed by the details that they put on. Nevertheless, every zones are capture worthy!
 |
| Night view one more time! |
Among all of the exhibition, the one that grab my attention is MinNature Favela, even the names of each exhibition are so creative!
By the way, you don't need to worry if you need some explanation about the zones because they provide you with some sort of explanation on every exhibits. If you want to know more about it, feel free to ask the staff (they are friendly!).
