The world tour ticket costs 8,500won. Aiinsworld, a miniature exhibition park, is a place where 'small giants' can see and enjoy many things. You may be a bit disappointed by the miniatures being smaller than you expected, but children seem to forget time is flying when they are having fun. Miniatures representing Hansandaecheop (the great victory in Hansan) in the ‘Korea zone’ are the most popular attraction. You may experience the sound of shooting rifles from Manrijangseong (Great Wall of China). To add more reality to the miniatures, this park is divided into 12 zones thus enabling you to naturally learn about the world's history as you listen to a professional guide chronicling interesting historical facts and episodes related to the constructions.

If you want to be with a guide, please make sure of the hours of availability and then assemble in front of Tower Bridge in the ‘England Zone’ 5minutes before your tour time.
