The Model Village in Great Yarmouth, has G Scale.

Merrivale Model Village.

There is a model Village in the Netherlands that has a working model railway, but I'm not sure what scale....
 
I’ve never been but I do follow developments at the Perthshire garden railway Scotland,

Perthshire Garden Railway | forest setting with trains | Perth, UK

Enjoy an outdoor visit at Perthshire Garden Railway, in a forest setting with model trains which run on LGB G-scale track, wander around the path watching the trains pass by a woodland garden setting. After exploring, visit our cafe where we serve delicious refreshments and cakes.

Last time I went to Wernigerode there was a small line in the HSB shop in town. Plus there is also a big outdoor line in a park not too far (walkable) from the station.

Miniature Park "Small Harz" im Wernigerode Bürgerpark

One of the most beautiful miniature parks in Germany shows about 60 culturally and historically interesting buildings of the Harz.

Not been, but want to, at Òdena near Barcelona. I follow the project on FB, the guys have constructed several G Scale scenes, with fabulous detail.

Kennifick (?) Gardens in Omaha NE. Don't know if it's still a going thing, but there is/was a full size Big Boy, and a Centennial diesel (DDA40X) in the car park there.

All, I'm wondering (thinking globally here), what public G Scale / Garden Railway attractions do you know of?

In the UK, I can think of:
I'm curious about others you know of both in the UK and abroad. I'm assuming there must be a number in Germany but my provisional search didn't turn up much..

Are you travelling, or just curious? If you're travelling, look up the local model engineering/ railway clubs, they may have a private set up that you could wrangle an invitation to.
 
Railworld Peterborough has a g scale outdoor layout,

The mountsorrel heritage centre has a g scale garden railway

There is a small outdoor layout at wistow garden centre in Leicestershire
 
Standalone Farm in Letchworth Garden City is another, run by the local MRC....

P Paul M , not necessarily about travelling. It came up in conversation with a friend of mine yesterday and the question was niggling at me and though this was a good place to ask!
 
There is a very small oval of LGB track at Aylsham station on the Bure Valley line. Press a button and Thomas does a couple of circuits.
