MinNature Malaysia

5 February 2017 Sunday.  Weather was humid and boring. Needed to explore...but where?
Googled and found MinNature Malaysia. Was sceptical at first but decided to go for it and hunt for this place. Situated just on the 4th floor of Summit USJ and there was no regrets. We were greeted by one of the Master Builders (there are about 70 of them) of the whole 17,000 sq ft of space; friendly chap; eager to explain what MinNature is all about and their vision and mission. Impressive is an understatement. It was so awe-inspiring.

Loved the railway tracks and the toy choo choo trains running all over the place

The Workshop

I love the little people the most. I can only imagine the amount of work that has been put into the ideas, organization, creation, the moulding, the painting...including the backaches and headaches! I hope MinNature will get more funding from generous people and organizations in time, people who have a parallel vision with this young and ambitious team. I love the open concept that MinNature practices in hoping to educate the young and old to respect the creations, at the same time, giving the public the freedom to touch and feel with care and be happy to take pictures or video clips however much they like. 

I will be back!
