Go Check Out Gulliver’s Gate – NEW in Times Square

We knew we were in for a treat when we attended the VIP grand opening of Gulliver’s Gate when greeters on stilts opened the doors into this awe-inspiring wonderland.  Gulliver’s Gate is Times Square’s newest attraction located at 216 West 44th Street that you just have to see to believe.  Within its 49,000 square feet, you’ll travel around the world in no time. Visit over 300 built-to-scale miniature scenes of Juliet’s favorite destinations including Japan, London, Coppenhangen, Italy, and NY.  Together we reviewed our geography, famous landmarks, and nostalgically walked down memory lane.

“Remember when the man let me drive the gondola??” -Juliet pointing to this scene remembering our trip to Venice.  We marveled at all the intricate, miniature scenes and could not believe the handcrafted detail.  And luckily, we were allowed to watch the model makers at work and ask them questions on the model making process.  We learned that 3D laser printers and model kits were the primary source of materials.  We were also given a key to the cities with which we could unlock and activate special areas of the exhibit.

Juliet loved the interactivity and was excited to tour around the globe to try out her key.  By doing so, she launched a hot air balloon into the air, started up model trains and cars and set ships off to sail.  Sometimes by looking very closely, you’d find unique surprises such as the Spiderman we found climbing the Brooklyn Bridge.

So you can see the scale of these amazing models, check out this shot of Grand Central along with NY’s iconic metrocard!   Everything is 1:87 to scale.

Just look at all the incredible detail and natural gestures!

One of the highlights of this exhibit is that you can scan yourself in their 3D scanner and turn yourself into a miniature figurine! What an amazing souvenir, right?

Thank you Gulliver’s Gate for this memorable walk through your miniature world!  It made my little one feel like a giant and increased her sense of wanderlust.
