Did you know?
Marudodam opened its doors in 1952 as a living tribute to war hero George Maduro. Since the beginning, Madurodam is a fundraiser for charitable causes. What started as a miniature city has grown into a true adventurous attraction park. We offer you a fun introduction to the stories and landmarks that define this unique country. Everything is scaled down to 1:25, including people, windmills, trains, cars and boats, all of which come to life as they move around.
