The park is shaped like a Star of David, with each of the six triangles representing an area or city: Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Galil, Negev, and Center. Models were created in workshops spread throughout Israel using sophisticated computerized evaluations, based on research prepared by Mini Israel staff.

Most of the buildings were built in the scale of 1:25. The models are made of polyurethane or similar polymeric materials, and small stones. They were painted with waterproof paint for resistance to weather conditions.
