Miniaturk Have you ever heard of a “toy museum” before? If your answer is “No”, then you should travel to the Asian side of İstanbul and head to Göztepe to visit the “Toy Museum”. Opened in 2005 in a beautiful several hundred years old mansion, the museum involves more than 4000 toys ranging from toy soldiers to metal cars, porcelain dolls and many more. The museum also stages theatre plays and organises games several days of the week. Miniaturk is an open park museum containing miniature models of many historical structures of İstanbul as well as of Anatolia and Ottoman territories outside Turkey. Opened in 2003, the park contains 122 models including the Blue Mosque, the Bosphorus Bridge and many other monuments. In the European side Rahmi Koç Museum, İstanbul Modern and Sabancı Musuem are also attractive places for kids. In the museum the children not only discover but also attend several ateliers. The Naval Museum in Beşiktaş has set up a special room for children where they can make puzzles about ships, steer in a vessel or play games about the navy. İstanbul is filled with many public parks. Yıldız Park near the Yıldız Palace, Parkorman in Maslak, the Küçükçiftlik Park in Maçka and Belgrad Forest in Maslak (all in the European Side) have wide areas for kids to play and all the areas offer many facilities for children. If your children love the animals and water, then aquariums are the place to visit. İstanbul has many aquariums but two of main are “Turkuazoo” in Bayrampaşa and “İstanbul Akvaryum” in Florya; both in the European area where children can “touch” behind the glass sharks, octopuses and many other animals. Also in Dolphinarium in Eyüp, children can have the chance to watch the dolphins while making tricks or even to swim with them. “Vialand” that is located also in Eyüp, is a mass theme and amusement park that involves tens of facilities from 4D cinemas to water games, ferries wheels, driving activities or scientific discoveries. Shopping malls in İstanbul provide many enjoyable activities and amusement parks for kids. One of them is the “Jurassic Land” in İstanbul Forum in Bayrampaşa. The biggest park in Europe with the dinosaur theme, children can see giant animals’ scale models, watch movies about their lives, play games, visit a museum and experience a scenario based tour while getting to know about dinosaurs.
