Vendée Miniature — Attraction in Les Sables-d'Olonne

Je ne le recommande pas aux familles avec enfants. Un silence absolu est exigé, ce qui est impossible avec de jeunes enfants et des expositions intéressantes. Nous n'en avons été informés qu'après avoir payé. Aucun remboursement n'a été proposé, mais nous devions partir pour le plaisir des deux autres clients.

Wouldn't recommend to families with young children even if the marketing seems family friendly. We have a 2 year old who is obsessed with Lego and small things so we thought it would be a good family outing. On arrival we were the only guests there and we indicated the ages of both kids and bought tickets to enter. We were advised to not touch or climb on the exhibition and that we could stay as long as we liked. Our 2 year old loved it and was saying "looks mummy cow" and "wow train".

Indoor attraction, great for cooler/wetter weather though expect it to busy with everyone else staying dry. Allow an hour upwards to...

Really well done miniature village. All the models were working well and maintained. Some impressive work going into the models. Down a star as the Lego workshop at the end was temporarily closed for our entire visit which wasn't mentioned at the start, in fact at the start they spoke about it as available at the end.

The train was a nice touch for the kids but according to the information it weighs 50kg and is 2.7m but on looking at it that must have changed as it was more like 1- 1.5m long (missing a few...
