Miniature Park "Mini Israel" owes its birth to Israeli businessman Éireann to Her. In 1986, considered Her mother visited the famous "Madurodam" is a miniature city in the Netherlands – and got the idea: these should appear in Israel! To bring the idea to life took 16 years. At first prevented the first Palestinian intifada (uprising of the Palestinians, which lasted from 1987 to 1991), but by 2002 the Park finally showed up.

He built his team of designers and architects with more than a hundred people, including immigrants from the former USSR. They created 385 accurate models of the most important sites of Israel – the historical, architectural, religious, cultural – and placed them on 3 acres. The Park resembles the star of David, each of the six triangles filled with copies of objects belonging to different districts of Israel.

The model is made of polymeric materials and stone with the help of computer calculations and mostly made in the scale 1:25. Size is not the smallest: skyscrapers above the growth of an adult, the Church is above the child's growth. This scale allows visitors to see all the details, study the architectural details and the towers of the Azrieli Center in tel Aviv, and station in Haifa, and the Basilica of the Agony in Jerusalem. Tourist attraction can be helpful – many, considering the copies of the attractions, mentally making a list for what else to see in Israel live.

In this toy a country inhabited by 25 thousand semicontinental "residents" all of the moves. Bowing to Jews praying at the Western Wall and Muslims on the Temple mount, calling in the port ships, taxiing on runway planes, riding cars and trains, spinning windmills, operate cranes on a construction site. Tourists moving from scene to scene: here in the kibbutz milking cows, that the athlete gets a medal, there is a plant for the production of frozen juice, but there is depicted a picnic in the woods. In the evening when it gets dark, all models of the buildings light up small Windows.

Recreated episodes of the long history of the Jewish people: the victory of Joshua over the five armies of Canaan (in that battle, he, according to the old Testament, stopped the sun and the moon in the sky that night was not due and payable); the battle Judah Maccabee with the Greeks desecrated the temple of Jerusalem; a desperate defense of the fortress of Masada, which advocates chose to kill himself rather than surrender to the Romans...

The Park is not only full of movements and sounds. Famous Israeli singer göran Gaon sings "Jerusalem, Jerusalem", the fans in the stadium to support their favorite team, the commander of the guard of honor at the Knesset shouting orders, in the Abbey of the Dormition on mount Zion bells ringing, the famous violinist Isaac stern conducts a master class of violin.

Amazed visitors don't immediately believe that all baby trees live here. But it's true – even in miniature copies of Haifa Bahai gardens all the trees are real. In a Park of 70 thousand plants, of which 17 thousand – bonsai that are grown in a local nursery.
