One of the biggest, smallest, attractions in the Big Apple recently opened and those who have visited it already are raving about it. Gulliver’s Gate is a 49,000 square feet space near Times Square where everything is miniaturized. This indoor attraction features a miniature world that depicts everything from landmarks to events. This massive project took a while to build, but has become a hit with both tourists and locals.
About The Attraction
Gulliver’s Gates cost $40 million to complete. It still is a work in progress as some larger countries like Australia and Antarctica aren’t included. Despite this, there is a lot of diversity in the attraction overall. Some of the more recognizable landmarks include Stonehenge, the Brooklyn Bridge and The Taj Mahal. Between the England and France sections of the attractions there is an underground Channel that can be seen speeding through the floor. Visitors can see miniature tourists taking pictures of the Loch Ness Monster, tiny townspeople trying to straighten the Leaning Tower of Pisa with ropes and brown bears playing musical instruments in a snowy, Russian forest. In total there are about 50 nations that have been included so far with more to come in the near future. Besides New York, not much of the upper east coast is included, but many of these states will be added on as the attraction grows. The pieces are generally built to 1:87 scale. What this means is that for a person who’s 6 foot tall, their miniature piece would be a little less than an inch.
Gulliver’s Gate was named after the book “Gulliver’s Travels” where Gulliver gets shipwrecked on a island that is inhabited by little Lilliputians. Those familiar with the book will certainly love this attraction. The CEO and President of Gulliver’s Gate, Eiran Gazit also has another attraction that’s similar, that’s located close to Jerusalem. It features a miniature version of Israel. Admission to Gulliver’s Gate is $36 for adults and $27 for children and seniors. Despite the high admission costs, many visitors are flocking too it. If you are looking to become a part of Gulliver’s Gate, you can do that as well. There’s a scanner where you can make a 3D model of yourself for only $44. After it’s completed, in several weeks, it will be added to the attraction. This is a pretty unique way to be a part of it all.
