Gulliver’s Gate was a miniature world located in the heart of New York City, near Times Square. This attraction offered visitors of all ages a chance to explore tiny, detailed landscapes and landmarks from around the globe.
What Was It?
Gulliver’s Gate was more than just a collection of static models. It was a technologically advanced and interactive experience spread over 50,000 square feet. The attraction featured miniature versions of famous sites from around the world, crafted by design teams from specific regions to ensure accuracy.
Visitors could explore various interconnected areas featuring roads with 10,000 cars and tracks with around 1,000 trains. The level of detail was impressive, with everything built to a 1:87 scale, making the figures about 2cm tall.
Interactive Fun
One of the highlights of Gulliver’s Gate was the interactive element. Upon entry, visitors received a special key that allowed them to activate various features within the miniature world. This key could set things in motion, from making helicopters fly to starting a ski lift or even triggering a street parade.
