American Couple Reacts: Miniature Wunderland - Germany! Inside The $50 Million Miniature World!

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

This is incredible! $50 Million to create this masterpiece! While we had heard about this, we had not seen it before! Hamburg, Germany is home to the largest model railway system in the world! It shows several other countries on this fascinating, super detailed mini World display! From Switzerland to Las Vegas, you can see it all here! This video also goes behind the scenes and gives us a VIP look into the impressive tech that keeps everything running! And don't forget about the World's first & largest mini Airport too! So much to see here that we definitely will be visiting at some point! Thank you SO much for watching!

This place is bonkers! They say that Germany has to build everything big! 😮 I would get lost in there! 😅 When I was little, back in the 70's, my grandpa and I built a pretty good size train set in the basement! 36 feet by 48 feet and two levels! My grandpa made me do most of the work so, I learned carpentry before I was 10! 😂

[@circemuller1933]

That is so wonderful a Day with KIDS in Miniatur Wonderland

[@chrisf.8177]

If you two beauties really want to take a closer look at everything --- plan a week's visit!😊

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Ladies, if you visit the Miniatur Wunderland, you best anounce yourself beforehand to it. If you then donate to "Ein Herz für Kinder" (A heart for the children) you might get your figurines made and placed. They always help this organisation, as well as underprivileged families. Around Christmas time such families get free entry. I have been there a few times and looked for the hidden gems and easter eggs. Respectfully, Elmar from Germany

[@jkb2016]

Don't forget to book in advance and come early. You'll spend hours watching and spotting...

[@christianmohr1491]

And don't forget to book a behind the scenes tour (there are two different) like the gentleman in the video did. You get behind the installations and get detailed explanations how the things are build and work.

[@SNP-1999]

As an Englishman living in Hamburg, I visited the "Wunderland" when it first opened and was totally in awe at the detail and expert modelling. Since then it has expanded to unbound size and will continue to do so if the two brothers who made it possible have any say in it. Hamburg is a beautiful historic city always worth a visit, but the "Miniatur Wunderland" has put a crown on the great city.

[@tasminoben686]

Moin, ich hätte es nicht besser sagen können! Grüße aus dem Osten Hamburgs!❤

[@chrisf.8177]

Yes, MiWuLa is simply great!👍 Back in 2004, America was done. I was simply fascinated by the beautiful landscapes, the characters and the many technical gimmicks on the systems. I wasn't interested in the trains at all.😊The latest gag: a racing Dixie toilet on the Monaco Formula 1 track!😅

[@MrHws5mp]

Miniatur Wunderland has it's own You Tube channel that regularly posts behind-the-scenes videos of how they make stuff: it's well worth a watch, even just for your own interest, never mind reaction videos. I'm not into model trains, but I _am_ a hobbyist-level plastic model-maker, so I very much appreciate this stuff. When I go to shows that feature train layouts and scale modelling, I spend as much time looking at the cars, buildings and scenery as I do at the trains! Speaking of which, there are lots of "naughty" details at Miniatur Wunderland too. Most model railways accessory catalogues have a "special" section which features no pictures but vivid descriptions of the figure sets with names like "couple in bedroom", "couple on park bench", "couple and picnic blanket", "civilans (at nudist camp)", etc, etc... All human life is there, especially the activities that create more of it...😉Look deep into the woods at MW or on many other railways layouts, and you'll find couples doing what couples go into the woods to do...

[@debbie8674]

OMG!! This place looks amazing! I would ❤ to spend a couple days here looking at everything!😊

[@iainmelville9411]

Amazing. I once knew a woman who would often say, “ Sometimes all you can say is WOW ! “. I see this and I agree “WOW !” Thank you both for sharing this wonderful place with us. ❤,❤.😢

[@claasengelbart2268]

Please, you and Natasha must be reacting to more videos of the miniatur- wunderland, to explore this awesome little world. In the italian section they have the vesuv volcano. His Lava lighting at night. And Patagonia is also awesome. Thanks for this awesome Video @Natasha & Debbie Greetings from northern Germany nearly Hamburg. 👋

[@jambalaa4546]

You should totally visit it at some point. I was there around 25 years ago and it was great back then. Kept track on their progress and it still awes me. All these little details and easter eggs if you watch for them. A couple having "fun" in the bushes or the Star Wars stuff. Something like that.

[@JohnDoe-us5rq]

Admission is about 20€ per adult. But there are special fees for students, or children, or disabled or elderly people. And at least once a year, they have a few special days or weeks for everyone to visit how is not able to pay any fee. No proof required, just inform the cashier and you'll be allowed in. They are really good people over there.

[@Weizsaecker]

This place is stunning and like Gerrit says it all started as a Schnapsidee!

[@katydaniels481]

Apologies for my lateness 😮 Ive seen a 1min clip of this place before, and Hamberg is 💯 on my list when i visit Germany. Amazing video ❤

[@mandypotts9090]

Never heard of this place… it’s amazing ,really enjoyed today’s episode 👍😁

[@Arltratlo]

ask the 10 million north Germans, many of them been there before, i am only 4 or 5 times so far!

[@j.d.l._666]

I was in the Miniature Wonderland once! And it is so incredibly awesome!! The love for detail, the models, the builds! It's just so beatiful!

[@johndent8813]

Ladies - the cow in Area 51 is a nod to a TV series called Fringe where one of the characters, a crazy scientist, kept a cow in his laboratory so he had a constant supply of fresh milk.....

[@wWvwvV]

Cows connected to UFOs is much older than the Fringe TV show. I did a brief search for "cow ufo". First hit was "The 1897 Cow Abduction Hoax".

[@mikeyhau]

I'm definitely not a model train person, but WOW! I visited this amazing place a couple of years back and I highly recommend it.

[@glennwhittaker197]

I’m going to rewatch this again later but in full screen on my PC as the detail is so AMAZING 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

♥️♥️

[@andreaslermen2008]

What's really cool, they have a regular "I cannot afford it" event. On those days people can choose how much they like to pay. This lead to a good number of very happy kids, where their parents couldn't pay the 20 Euro per person (or 12,50 till the age of 15) and from their experience, people still pay, if they have the money for it.

[@christophercarr3755]

Omg every little boys dream, absolutely stunning so much effort and detail. Hope your feeling alittle better Natasha also❤

[@SusanCampbell-j1f]

That was absolutely amazing. Didn’t want the video to end would so love to visit this place.

[@punkirog9022]

i was there a few months ago, and my mind is still blown away. me and my buddy thought, it will take us maybe 30min to see all that stuff....oh yeah we where wrong, sooo wrong...we couldnt handle all the details, we stayed like 3,5hrs and havent seen it all. maybe 50%, maybe, but i have my doubts! i am 46 and i was feeling like kid again, amazing feeling! i you ever have a chance to visit hamburg, go there. it will be a blast. love your content, keep it going. greeting from germany 🥰

[@xxJOKeR75xx]

The biggest fun is finding the little things hidden in the world. Like a naked couple lying in the cornfield or a dead body surrounded by police CSI etc. You can easily spend a whole day in there.

[@Stein0001]

The two cowboys standing at the canyon and xxxx into the canyon..... :D

[@robertsnare1411]

Visited in 2014, it’s been expanded since then, absolutely amazing. A ‘must visit’ if you’re anywhere near Hamburg.

[@ruk2023--]

It's one of the few things that still impresses me every time I see it. There are some behind the scenes videos on here - the ones on the airport build are especially fascinating.

[@AngeDownie-by8ee]

Looking forward to seeing this. The models n the workmanship behind it is incredible

[@MariaNuebel]

I was there last year and I absolutely fell in love with this little world. A houndred thousend often very funny details will make you laugh. I think I could visit it several times and always discover something new. It certainly wasn't my last visit.

[@zeroone5097]

WOW WOW WOW frekin awesome , ty so much for sharing this i had no idea , as a model maker myself i can appreciate this .

[@SapperDad59]

Hello, I love your choices of things to watch. I do model railways and know just how much work it can take to make some thing. I hope to go there next year. Its crazy good what they have made. I'll keep watch your show.

[@Arena87]

The fascination in the Wunderland are the thousands of little details, which make every different place so lovely. If you go to Hamburg buy the tickets in advance, so you don't have to wait. They develop the Miniatur-Wunderland always further.

[@kaithost5716]

I'm form Germany I spent 5 Days in the Miniatur Wunderland, just to see all the little things, these very creative Builders, had build in the whole Creation (psst: there is an Cave with "Minions Stonecarvings") and i was there even before the F1 Track (Monaco) and South America was open Next Time I have to stay 3 days longer :D And when I say, I was there a Day - I mean the whole Day from 8:30 to 19:00 - it was so much fun

[@MilaHoffman-h3y]

Definitely a place in my country I'd love to visit! The attention to detail is incredible. I think the inner child in you loved watching this ladies. ❤

[@kathrynmcintosh2726]

Looks amazing. Hello watching from Perth Western Australia 🦢🌞🌏.

[@scottmccarter861]

an incredible video would love to see it in person. Love you both.

[@debbie8674]

Us too.

[@Lucy-8313]

Great video! Wow awesome, didn’t expect this it’s massive I like trains, cars, space ships and the planes actually take off. Lighting and software involved incredible! I’ll have to visit!

[@FlorianH0867]

I am not from Hamburg, but I can tell, Hamburg, where Mini Wonderland is located, is the most beautiful German city. The have two tunnel under the Elbe (A river where the biggest ships of the world go on to get to Hamburg. The old Elbtunnel is made for cars in history and the have lifts to get the cars down. Since years this tunnel is only for pedestrians and bicycles open and it is really fun and amazing to see. The Fischmarkt and the Reeperbahn as well. So you should take at least a week in Hamburg to see everything.

[@dougmorris2134]

Hi Natasha and Debbie, My son and I went to the Miniatur Wunderland back in 2011, it was just in the one building then. It is a fantastic experience to see how tech and the models create a real miniature world. We travelled from London by Eurostar and Thalys TGV high speed trains and the DB regional express to Wuppertal to experience travelling on the unique monorail train, ”die Schwebebahn” opened in 1901. From there by DB ICE train to Hamburg to the Miniatur Wunderland. Fantastisch experiences. We returned to the UK by trains too. No planes except for those at the model airport. Unforgettable 😊😊 🇬🇧❤️🇩🇪. Best wishes to you both 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

[@robert-hh2ft]

looking forward to this episode!!my 10 year old inner boy/child approves,sounds like this is on another level though!!

[@neilrichards683]

This place is amazing I have seen a few miniature villages but nothing on this scale and detail

[@mattbentley9270]

Wow, if you really looked at every building in every scene you could spend months in there ! I really wanna go there, fabulous

[@thekeenmoron1900]

Went there in 2017. Was absolutely brilliant. I love Hamburg too.

[@hayee]

Wow this looks unreal!! Never knew it existed but would love to go!

[@GernotRutz]

I´ve been visiting Miniatur Wunderland 20 years ago, when it was very small at that time but amazing! Well, I have to go there once again to see all the new parts that have been added since then. I love it ❤ If you ever go to Hamburg don´t miss it!

[@markduggan3451]

I watched this episode and thought exactly what you were saying. It blew my mind.

[@TheCyberSalvager]

When I saw your announcement on your Facebook page I knew you would be in for a treat! (That was me that said so. ;) ) What I really like about this is that everything is made to 1/87 (HO) scale, and its something I have been doing as a hobby since I was in my mid-teens.

[@TigersTimelessTreasures]

The behind the scenes video is interesting, but it doesn't even come close to showing how cool the MW really is. When I go, I go early in the morning when nit first opens because the place gets soooo crowded.... You have to book in advance, but it is certainly worth the visit. THey did an amazing job building all those displays. And you have to look closely at the backgrounds and stuff or you may miss a funny!

[@doublez3ta]

I've been to Miniatur Wunderland on 3 different occasions of the past several years and never get tired of going there. Even though I've been visiting Ohio every year for the past ten or so, I just heard about EnterTrainment Junction last year and luckily was able to visit in the fall before they closed their doors. I thought it was a really cool place. It's tough to compare because think they offer different kinds of experiences. One technical difference is that the trains of EnterTrainment Junction are of a larger scale (G scale) than the ones in Miniatur Wunderland (HO scale). Overall, the level of detail and complexity of Miniatur Wunderland I think is a factor of ten higher than EnterTrainment Junction. Miniatur Wunderland feels way more immersive. The admission price of Miniaitur Wunderland is very inexpensive, around $20. They also offer guided tours throughout the day (in English and German) that include behind the scenes areas for another$10-$15.

[@markier1980]

We visited Miniatur Wunderland last new year's day. It was absolutely beyond all our expectations.

[@deborahconner2006]

Wow this place is incredible. What a great video

[@stephensimmonds184]

I went for a morning visit right before the lockdown madness. Spent the whole day there, then went back for the whole next day too. And that was before they added the second building.

[@kix1464]

I sadly have never been there (but am planing to go!) but my dad's been there a few times and he says it never gets old. 😊

[@jamielindsay1506]

Wow!! What an incredible place. It's hard to pick a favourite but as a big F1 fan I loved Monaco! I think I'll be joining you in looking more at what this place has to offer.

[@OliverBusse]

If you plan to visit, plan at least 2 days to see the most - you won't see every tiny bit that is hidden everywhere, esp. the mini figures. It started with focus on trains but now the trains are just decoration

[@Sulustaner]

hi, I'm from Germany and I have to say, I'm always impressed by the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg... unfortunately I've never been there myself, but I hope to do so at some point ^^ I really like your content about Germany and discover Even some things I've never seen before ^^

[@bobgoodall1603]

It has a newspaper, loads of stuff to keep you amused, lots of in jokes. Its down by the river and it is central. Lots river cruises nearby. Great place.

[@glennwhittaker197]

There we go! From watching the small screen you was watching on 2/3 of my iPad to watching again in full screen (no chat) on my PC screen & tomorrow I'll watch the original post in FULL mind blowing size too lol Sorry I can't "like" more than once, see you soon XXX

[@felixtroche8967]

I don't know if there is a subtiteled version but there is a serie where you can watch how they build everything and they never stop it is always growing.

[@jeanfrancoisriemer1770]

You have to plan at least 2 days and for sure miss some of the gazillion details. For sure take the behind the scenes tour where you are allowed to go behind the model (there is a gap between the walls and the model) and can go under the model! And you'll see funny figurines not visible from the front of the model (like two nuns sitting on the edge of the model their legs dangeling over the abyss :D )

[@Keno0355]

In March, my wife and I will be visiting Wonderland for the 7th time. For the second time, we will "shrink" into Wonderland with Yulbe and walk through it on a scale of 1:87. A great experience. After that, I will have problems dragging my wife out of Wonderland again. 😄

[@robertmcghintheorca49]

The airport is my absolute favourite.

[@philiplokodi6754]

I'm actually a Scale Model collector from Munich and I find that real fascinating I wasn't able to go to Hamburg to the Miniaturwunderland

[@gregorygant4242]

Too far away the distance to Hamburg? I live in Southern Europe and have a sister who works in Munich over there.

[@jasonpegelow500]

Visited this place in December during a trip to the Christmas Markets in Hamburg. It’s an amazing place to visit. Spent 6 hours looking around but could have easily spent twice as long to really view everything in detail. Really cheap considering the size of the museum (€18….£15)

[@zessonateacloud]

If you ever go, make it two days. You need time to see the details amd rushing is not fu Even with two days you will not see everything. There is so much love and craftsmanship in this.

[@JohnRoberts-pt8cu]

There are more videos of miniature wonderland that last much longer, plus it was televised just recently on the D max channel after the completion of a new sections, they take us on a tour, they are busy building cities from all around the world, it's fun for children, and in some parts for grown up children if you know what I mean, you have to look close to find the little surprises, so ladies enjoy your journey in Hamburg, maybe see you there, or in the Kölner Dom, one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world. 😊

[@keithparker5125]

Ladies, Mivula has held the record for the worlds largest model railway layout since 2015! They also hold the records for longest HO scale train, hauling a full size electric locomotive with HO model loks, and a few others! Check out the video that they made during the covid lockdown where they set up a glockenspiel around the building and a model train played Bach's 'Ode to Joy' on it. This team is not only imaginative, they are absolutely crazy!

[@maxmustermann3285]

I always wanted to see it. Never made it so far. So when you two come over here we can go together. A day it takes. 🍻

[@lindabushell2880]

One word “Wow!”

[@richard--s]

That's a great reaction video! By the way, in KZbin you can go back and forward frame by frame with the keys "," (comma) and "." (dot) This can be useful when you pause a video and just move back a few frames when you just missed the point by a fraction of a second. Press the keys quickly and you get where you want to be on the timeline of the video. And you surely know it, you can pause and play with the space bar and go back and forward maybe 10 seconds with the cursor left and right keys. ------- On the phone there is a double tap on the left side to go back and a double tap on the right side of the video to move forward. And that amount of seconds to move back or forward csn be configured in your KZbin settings, default 10 seconds.

[@clayhead12000]

Great video, I love miniature villages but I'd love to visit that place. Btw, I've sent a couple of recommendations to patreon

[@houghi3826]

This is something you nee to plan a whole day for. The details are INSANE. So much tint things to see. Like the making of an adult movie (not visible for the kids), a murder scene. A lot of small stories told. You also can get a behind the scenes tour. And a walking dinner access. If you are ever in Hamburg, it is a must see. And Hamburg is very underrated. Probably going in march. Tickets are about 20 EUR I believe and can be bought online, so no waiting.

[@michelletrudgill4573]

How amazing is that, I'm saving my Penny's so I can send my son over for his 40th birthday this year, well I would if I could afford it. That is fantastic. Not much else I an say other than WOW WOW WOW 😮😮. Thank you for this video girlies Debbie was amazed whilst Natasha you wanted to go live there and I mean in the mini world 😂😂. Great video again well done ❤❤

[@shaunsheldon1219]

[@Stein0001]

Do you know what's really great about the owners? In summer, families with little money and children who are still at school can visit the exhibition one Sunday a month for free and these days are very popular. There is a donation box at the entrance and anyone who wants to can donate money so that these days can be held, because there are still costs involved.

[@bjornhofer2647]

I have been there 8 times. My 2nd son (at the age of 3) did not want to leave the first spot he has seen. Even his Grandpa (my late dad) had problems to convince him to go to another spot. RIP Daddy/Grandpa, we miss you.

[@AtoZbyLocalBus]

When I was Berlin twice, I went to a model railway place in Berlin, I have wondering if it was connected to big model railway centre that was featured in the video. Especially when the one in Berlin went a cycle of where the lights would go dim to represent night time, and I have heard that the model railway in the video, also goes through a cycle of the lights going dim for night time.

[@melaniehansen6236]

You could go though the Miniatur Wunderland a dozen times and still find new things you missed the other times....

[@Someloke8895]

There's a huge market for model scenery and trains in the UK. From intricate branch lines to fictional towns, to replicas of real life sections of the rail network (Pete Waterman's West Coast Mainline display for example). Check out Luke Towan (Boulder Creek Railroad) - he builds insanely detailed and realistic displays and scenery dioramas, to the point it's sometimes difficult to figure out if it's a model or real.

[@MarioMarioD80]

[@erwinerwinson5941]

16.4 km is not at all two Mount Everests on top of each other, but about five of them. The foot of Everest in the Himalayas is at about 5,364 meters above sea level and the mountain goes up to 8,849 meters. Its actual total height is therefore about 3485 m (or as Tarantino would have said 11434 feet). A much better comparison would be one Mauna Kea (on Haweii (the highest mountain on the planet)). From foot to summit, Mauna Kea is over 17,000 meters high and therefore almost exactly the same height as the tracks in MW-Hamburg are long.
