At Miniature Park Het Grootse Noorden, you can walk through the history of the Northern Netherlands in one go. Among the greenery of Landgoed Tenaxx are scale models of characteristic buildings, mills, towers, farms and monuments from Groningen, Friesland and Drenthe. For children, it is like walking through the North as a giant. For adults, it is a feast of recognition: familiar places suddenly appear in miniature, with an eye for details and stories.
The thumbnails show how rich the northern provinces are in cultural history. Think of icons such as the Martinitoren, the Menkemaborg, the Burcht of Wedde, Klooster Ter Apel, Groningen railway station, dolmens, yeshivas, the Waterpoort of Sneek and the Brandaris lighthouse. Together, they form an accessible route past castles, churches, mills, stations, fortresses and landscapes that give the north its distinctive character.

The Miniature Park suits Tenaxx perfectly because, like the museum and the arboretum, it combines learning and experiencing. Children playfully discover what buildings look like and why they are important. Parents and grandparents can tell stories about places they know or once visited. This automatically creates a conversation about history, landscape, technology and heritage.
A visit to The Great North is a nice change within a day full of dinos, forest and adventure. After searching for roaring dinosaurs or playing in the Ranger Square, the Miniature Park offers a quieter moment, without losing the sense of wonder. It is small in size, but big in story.
Highlights for a day out
- Scale models of well-known buildings and monuments from the Northern Netherlands.
- Fun for children and recognisable for adults.
- An accessible way to discover cultural history.
- Nice quiet complement to the dino forest, museum and outdoor activities.
