Madurodam

The miniature park spans across 18,000 square meters, displaying precise 1:25 scale models of Dutch landmarks, buildings, canals, and infrastructures throughout the grounds.

Founded by Bep Boon-van der Starp and designed by architect Siebe Jan Bouma, Madurodam first opened its gates to visitors on July 7, 1952.

The park maintains detailed replicas of Amsterdam canals, Rotterdam port, Dutch windmills, and traditional architecture, representing the development of Netherlands through centuries.

The park remains open every day of the year, offering digital tickets, wheelchair rentals, guided tours, and a mobile application for navigation.

Each evening, 33,000 LED lights illuminate the miniature landscapes, creating small-scale versions of Dutch cities after dark.
