Wonders of America Overview | Miniature Parks of the World

Wonders of America Overview

Wonders of America features forty spectacular and immersive experiences, all based on sought after American events. This is accomplished with high quality, authentic large scale replicas of famous American landmarks and special effects which tantalize all of your senses with lights, interactivity, aromas, food, and music. This is a celebration of the many things that are uniquely special about the United States.

Wonders of America offers an Americana experience that, in scale and quality, exceeds all others. It greatly enhances the successful miniature park concept with the immersive experiences and interactivity of successful theme parks. Miniature parks have been successfully operated in Europe and Asia for 80 years. There are over 40 such parks around the world, in over 25 countries, with new ones opening every few years due to the expanding appeal of such attractions. The larger parks attract up to 1,500,000 visitors annually, often in cities that have low resident and tourist bases and inclement winters.

Management, which has substantial theme park experience, believes that Wonders of America can significantly broaden its appeal and increase re-visitation rates by having experiences which are interactive and enable guests to experience exciting American events, rather than by primarily looking at static models of landmarks.

Wonders of America offers the following benefits to its target customers:

  • Unique Americana experiences
    - Most Americans have seen little of the U.S. in person;
  • Affordable;
  • Exceptional value for the money;
  • More complete and immersive experience than similar type of parks;
  • Indoor, climate-controlled environment; and
  • Perfect for business receptions & weddings.

Wonders of America is a 10-acre, themed entertainment destination, with both indoor and outdoor attractions. It offers its guests entertaining experiences by inviting them to be in the middle of famous landmarks and celebrations. There will be forty attractions which will recreate authentic experiences through a combination of state of the art techniques. These techniques combine realistic scale models and settings of America's most famous landmarks (e.g., buildings, monuments and natural wonders) with special effects, such as lighting, sounds and music, video, aromas, water, and interactive devices.

While some people have been fortunate to travel throughout the United States, most Americans and foreign tourists have seen relatively little of this great country. These attractions enable guests to be thrilled by the most sought after American experiences, which they have read about and seen on TV or in movies, and to revive good memories of places that they have visited. Some of the most exciting experiences are:

  • Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City
  • July 4th Celebration in Washington, D.C.
  • Seaside Boardwalk
  • Niagara Falls
  • Chocolate Factory
  • Napa Valley Vineyard and Wine Bar
  • Mardi Gras

With its desirable Americana / patriotic theme, many enjoyable experiences, unique design, and excellent value, Wonders of America will become a "must see" attraction in Phoenix.

Miniature Parks of the World

Wonders of America is loosely based on successful miniature park concept, but with a significantly enhanced "experiences" concept to appeal to today's consumers.

By clicking on the links shown below, you will learn about these important "ancestor" parks, which have thrilled hundreds of millions of guests during the past 80 years. Miniature parks feature scale models (generally 1:25) of famous landmarks, such as buildings, monuments and natural wonders. The models can be of such high quality that a photograph of them could easily be perceived as being a photograph of the real landmark. To give visitors the image of "real, but small", these models incorporate street scenes with miniature figures (2 - 3"), landscaping, model trains, highways with moving vehicles, active harbors and airports with taxiing jets.
