  • In this video, we’ll explore a bit of Miniatur Wunderland, the world’s largest model railway. We’ll spend most of the time watching the action at Miniatur Wunderland Airport, an unbelievable scale model of Hamburg’s Airport. Miniatur Wunderland Airport includes all of the action of the real thing, just on a smaller scale.
    Miniatur Wunderland Airport took 150,000 hours of work to build. Miniatur Wunderland Airport has 40,000 LED bulbs, 62 miles of wiring, 50,000 lines of code. The cost to build Miniatur Wunderland Airport? Four million Euros. While Miniatur Wunderland Airport was not quite as expensive as the real Hamburg Airport, this is one serious exhibit!
    Miniatur Wunderland Airport hosts around 250 takeoffs and landings each day. There are 787’s, A330’s, 777’s, 747’s, even Concorde! There are a host of support vehicles at Miniatur Wunderland Airport. Everything from a Miniatur Wunderland Airport fire department to catering trucks and super tugs, Miniatur Wunderland Airport has it all. Perhaps most striking is just how similar it is to the real thing!
    Tickets for adults to enter Miniatur Wunderland are about 15 Euros, kids get in for half of that price. You can book your ticket online, which might help you skip the lines, which can get pretty long at certain times of the year. Oh, and by the way, this is NOT a sponsored video. I paid for my ticket.

I was completely mesmerized! My German family (Gerold, Kristin, and Lennard) are the best gifts in my life! I am so thrilled you showcased this amazing place. We also toured the Airbus facility... as an aviation geek, I could hardly stop smiling!

      So it actually does serve the very same function as Nunu in Teletubbies! haha! That's hilarious and fantastic! I love it. I had taken a guess that it might have been serving a purpose like that, or, perhaps as a vehicle that can count and track the amount of visitors around each portion of the exhibits.

    This is a MUST to go to if you're lucky enough to visit Hamburg, Germany (a great place to visit anyway...), also the Airbus plant, of course. I'm way more into aviation than a model trains guy, but the world they've created (apart from "just" the Airport) is absolutely mindblowing. Attention and love to detail is beyond everything you'd dream of - let alone of what you would expect, even if you knew all the advertising. Your jaws will drop once you enter MiWuLa. It is vast and astonishing, the admission of 15 Euros is nothing short of a bargain for all the hours of awe. Adult or minor, you will never forget the experience. Unique in the world. One day they'll be able to reduce the size of the nosewheels and have working flaps, slats and spoilers on their planes. Just imagine rejected takeoffs and landings with spoilers deplpoyed. But those things are to be neglected for the time being as it is already amazing just the way it is and it IS a gift to the world. @MiWuLa.tv

The next time we visited Hamburg we walked from the dock over to this amazing place. IMHO this is a must-do in Hamburg!!!
    If I ever go back - I guess we’ll visit the Airbus factory if possible. Thanks for the idea.
