Miniuni is outdoor complex with models of famous buildings from around the world. Models are built in a scale of 1:25. Railway tracks with garden trains criss-cross throughout the entire complex. Indian playgrounds are prepared for children. Numerous educational and interesting programmes are held each year for children and their parents.
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is the only one whose location has not been definitively established.
The Hanging Gardens were described as a remarkable feat of engineering: an ascending series of tiered gardens containing all manner of trees, shrubs, and vines. The gardens were said to have looked like a large green mountain constructed of mud bricks.
