New for 2018 vintage Penny Arcade, Interactive Flight Simulators, Train Simulators and more new railway layouts some of which you can drive yourself.
** BRAND NEW FOR 2019**
We have been working hard since the winter period to bring new and exciting additions to Wroxham Miniature Worlds! We have completely rebuilt our LegoTM City and now has a total of over 130,000 bricks! We have even lowered it down so kids of all ages have a chance to enjoy! With the details kits being displayed at eye height so you will experience all the miniature details! But that's not all we have built a giant wooden train table for the kids to play and enjoy and several new dioramas have been constructed!
** Coming Soon ** From Autumn 2019 the modelling work will continue on our newest layout. Set in the Peak District area in the 1950's/1960's featuring steam trains and the dreaded diesels. Little cameo scenes will be dwarfed by the scenery covering towns, countryside, and so many more aspects of life.
Our 34 seat café serves a range of hot and cold drinks alongside light refreshments, with our new small gift shop selling a selection of model railway and gift items.
Located in the heart of the Norfolk Broads National Park and just stone's throw from the centre of Wroxham, opposite Wroxham and Hoveton train station
