   Ask for a Wheelchair at the Entrance

   Start at Miniatürk’s main entrance and request a free wheelchair if needed. The site covers sixty thousand square meters, with fifteen thousand devoted to the miniature model area. Paths are paved and flat with no steps, and the venue also has an accessible toilet and disabled parking. Disabled visitors and one companion enter free, and children under six also enter free.

   Drive the Boat from a Distance

   Head to the remote-control boat pool beside the model area and join the activity from the pool edge. A paved path leads all the way there, with no grass or sand crossing, and the edge is at ground level, so a wheelchair user or someone with a stroller can take part instead of just watching.

   Get Lost Inside the Maze

   Continue to the maze and giant chess area, where both activities are at ground level. The maze walls are low, so someone inside can still be seen from outside, making it easier to let children explore without worrying about losing sight of them. The giant chess pieces are often heavy enough that moving them becomes a shared activity.

   Let the Train Carry You Across the Park

   Finish at the sightseeing train stop near the mini stadium and ride across the grounds. Walking the full sixty thousand square meters is not possible for everyone, and the train helps solve that by taking you from one end to the other. The mini stadium sits right beside this stop. Whether the train can take a wheelchair could not be confirmed, so check before boarding.
