Imagine a good part of the worldcomplete with monuments, attractions and well-known buildings, streets and Lilliputian figurinesmade to fit in an area about the size of a small New York City block. Gullivers Gateis the citys new $40 million attraction and it contains landmark attractions from 50 nations. Located in the iconic Times Square, the 49,000 sq ft exhibit allows you to experience everything from Iguaz Falls in Argentina to our Taj Mahal. These miniatures have also been made as interactive as possiblefor instance, in the London section, the visitors can enjoy The Beatles in an outdoor stadium representing the citys concert culture. Using the same scale that model railroading usually uses (the HO scale or 1/87th the size of the original structure) and with every human figurine about 0.8 inches tall, theres great detailing and some surprises for those with a keener eye. Eiran Gazit, President & CEO of Gullivers Gate, who presided over the similar 14-acre Mini Israel, has worked on the project for over four years. Tickets for adults $36 open all seven days from 9am to 10pm see gulliversgate.com.
