Attractions & Activities: Exploring The Hague
|
 |
Madurodam
To see "Holland in a Nutshell," head to the wooded dunes linking The Hague and the coastal resort of Scheveningen. This amazing display of a miniature, fictitious city sprawls over 28,000 square yards. Typical Dutch townscapes and famous landmarks are replicated on a scale of 1:25--you'll feel a bit like Gulliver viewing Lilliput. The wonder of it all is that this is a working miniature city: trains run, ships move, planes taxi down runways, the barrel organ plays, there's a town fair in progress, and 50,000 tiny lamps light up when darkness falls. Children love it--but surprisingly, 75% of the 1.2 million annual visitors are adults!
