Mundomágico, miniature park in Lo Prado, Santiago, Chile
Mundomágico was a themed park that displayed small-scale replicas of Chile's natural and architectural landmarks in miniature form. The entire grounds were connected through various exhibition areas accessible by a dedicated train system that moved guests around the site.
Mundomágico opened on July 7, 1983, next to Route 68 in Lo Prado, and closed on October 31, 2000. In September 1986 a model of the Televisión Nacional de Chile studios was added for the channel's anniversary. After closure, rides such as the Tren CP, the roller coaster and the Twister were moved to Fantasilandia.
The place was home to a popular children's television show that aired from 1991 to 2001, featuring characters such as Willy the Bear. These characters became part of local childhood memories for many Santiago residents and connected television viewing directly to visiting the location.
The grounds were quite large and the best way to explore them was to use the train system that regularly traveled through the different exhibition areas. It was a practical option for visiting all sections without spending excessive time walking between them.
The park featured famous Chilean locations such as Morro de Arica and the National Stadium, all shrunk to a comparable scale. This made it possible to experience a tour through Chile's notable places in just a few hours.
