LOXX Miniatur Welten

LOXX Miniatur Welten Berlin is housed inside the ALEXA-Center shopping centre in Alexanderplatz and covers over 950 square metres. There is a large display in the centre and smaller displays around the edges. Children can borrow a little stepladder so that they can see everything.

There are lots of buttons to press to make things happen, it is a really interactive exhibit. Make sure that you don't miss the popular chocolate factory tucked away below the tracks - watch a little chocolate bar make its way through the smallest chocolate factory in the world - and then receive a real chocolate bar at the end!

The displays have a definite German feel to them. There is a large fun fair, complete of course with beer tent. There is also a fantastical display of tiny scenes from popular German and European fairy tales. The airport was excellent. Not only to the planes take off and land, they taxi around the runways, little buses and trucks come up to them when they are parked to refuel, and they wait for imaginery passengers to get on. There's a raised bank to one side with comfortable, real aeroplane seats where you can sit and watch the airport going about its business.
