The Parc Merveilleux at Bettembourg opened in 1956 and has stayed largely what it was: a wooded park with a small animal collection, a set of fairy-tale dioramas in wooden houses along the paths with figures that move when a button is pressed, playgrounds, a miniature railway and a pony ride. It is aimed squarely at young children and Luxembourgish families have brought several generations through it.
