Swissminiatur
Swissminiatur is an open-air miniature park, and a great chance to see Switzerland in miniature if you don't have time to cover the real thing. It's located on the shore of Lake Lugano in Melide, very close to the Melide train station.
Most of the buildings are waist height, at a scale of 1:25. They were built to represent the most important buildings, monuments and transportation means in Switzerland, and kids will love the bumper cars and train rides on offer.
