Mashhad Miniature Park
Introducing Mashhad miniature park and similar examples in the country
Mashhad has many amusement parks, one of which is the miniature park. The construction of this park started in 1392 and ended in 1395. The area of this park is about 8 hectares, and a cost of 28 billion Tomans was spent on its construction. This beautiful park is located in the 12th district of Mashhad and is considered the first miniature park in the east of the country.
The reason for naming this park as a miniature park is that attractive replicas of the country's attractions have been built and displayed to the public. As if by entering this park you can see all the beauties of Iran in one place. If you don't travel a lot or don't have the money and time to visit different cities of Iran, we suggest you to visit Mashhad Miniature Park, because you can see at least some of the famous buildings and works in a smaller format. It is not bad to know that Tehran Iranian Art Museum Garden and Kish Iranian Path Garden (in the list of special experiences in Kish) are also active by placing replicas of the attractions of different cities with similar activities in the country. Also, the external example of this attraction is Istanbul Miniature Park.
The replicas designed in this park include: Ferdowsi Mausoleum, Attar Mausoleum, Persepolis, Kandavan Village, Karun Dam, Bam Citadel, Khajo Bridge, Mashhad Railway, Mashhad Airport, Prince Mahan Kerman, etc. All these replicas are exhibited in much smaller samples. In addition to the mentioned, other projects are also under construction.
Mashhad Miniature Garden depicts 58 religious and cultural symbols of Iran. It is interesting that all the models are made with full precision and detail and even include trees and humans. A part of the park is built like a thatched village where domestic animals are kept. The main purpose of building this park was to familiarize the people of Iran and the world more with the unique beauty of Iran.

Also, its green space and pleasant area provide a suitable place for walking and spending time.
