    You are correct! It was called Mexitlan and it was built in the 1980’s but was opened only for about 10 years I think. There were like 20 or 25 miniature models of the pyramids but also important historical and cultural monuments of Mexico too. My cousin was an electrician on the project construction and let me in to see it before it opened for public view. It really was quite amazing. We never took our children to see it as the tickets were too expensive and I think that is why it closed after 10 years. Although I heard they would later reduce the ticket price. I suppose it was just too late.

    The plaza is now open again but for concerts and events. All of the miniature models were taken to Mexico City I believe. I found a video on Youtube that talks about Mexitlan but it is in spanish.
