Mini Mundo is a popular attraction in central Gramado. Gaze in awe at the realistically modelled scenes that reflect the Brazilian and European heritage of the area.
Purchase your tickets at the entrance and walk through the exhibits to admire exquisitely small and realistic scenes of people going about their work and daily lives. See scaled-down church steeples, window cleaners and Brazilian soccer fans that will delight children and adults alike.
Take a guided tour to spot fun secrets hidden throughout the exhibits. Look for the miniature train that runs between exhibits, stopping at its own authentic-looking stations along the way.
Enjoy a break with coffee, tea or snacks from the on-site café and visit the gift shop to purchase handicrafts and souvenirs. Let your small children play on the slides and swings in the playground.
Learn about the endearing story of Mini Mundo, which began in the 1970s when a local grandfather started creating miniature models in order to teach his grandchildren about the world. As the children grew, they added their own touches until the models became so numerous that a separate site was needed. Mini Mundo was created in order to share this magical childhood fantasy with the public.
The park is located about a 15-minute walk from the town centre and is accessible by taxi or public bus. Attend one of the park events that are held on national or religious festivals and are celebrated with entertainment including music, charades and chocolate treasure hunts.
Check the weather forecast in advance so you bring appropriate clothing to enjoy the open-air exhibits. Walk through the well-designed Mini Mundo park on a beautiful, clear day for a lovely way to enjoy the region and travel the world. If the weather is cold, the exhibits can look especially charming under a dusting of snow.
