3 days in Victoria, Post 3: Miniature World

On Wednesday, August 14th, Mum, Dad, Finley and I had a few hours left in Victoria before we needed to start heading to the ferry, so we decided to visit Miniature World. It's right next to the Fairmont Empress Hotel, but I'd never been before. It turned out to be well worth visiting - the detail in the miniature models was just phenomenal!

There were all sorts of scenes... futuristic space scenes, war zones, the World's Smallest Operational Sawmill (not operating due to fire risk, a sign said!), the Great Canadian Railway (extremely impressive), European castles, fairytales and nursery rhymes, dollhouses, New London Town and Olde London Towne (my favourites), and a miniature circus (also extremely impressive). Over 80 displays in total!

The Fields of Glory (war/battle displays)...

The Enchanted Valley of Castles...

Fantasy Land...

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe...

Humpty Dumpty

Swiss Family Robinson

I enjoyed taking some close-up shots of small scenes within the overall displays, and the level of detail is absolutely amazing!

New London Town...

Olde London Towne...

World of Dickens...

Oliver Twist

Dollhouses...

Circus World...

Amazing, yes?! :D

After we left Miniature World, we had lunch nearby and then headed to the ferry. And that was our fantastic 3 day trip to Vancouver Island!
