Gulliver park — Attraction in Valencia

Gulliver Park in Valencia, Spain, is an absolute must-visit, especially if you’re traveling with kids or simply want to experience something truly unique. We visited in April, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect — sunny, warm, and just right for a full day outdoors. The park was very busy, filled with families and children laughing and playing, but that only added to the lively atmosphere.

The park itself is spectacular. It’s centered around a giant sculpture of Gulliver from Gulliver’s Travels, lying on the ground with his arms, legs, and hair transformed into slides, ramps, and climbing structures. The attention to detail in the sculpture is impressive, and the sheer scale of it makes you feel like a Lilliputian yourself. It’s both a visual delight and a playground paradise.

There’s so much to explore, and every part of the sculpture is interactive. Kids and adults alike were sliding down Gulliver’s arms, climbing ropes, and navigating tunnels. It’s a wonderful blend of art, imagination, and adventure. The surrounding park area is also beautifully maintained, with shaded spots for relaxing and plenty of green space.

The Gulliver Park is a park that is located in the Turia Garden in Valencia (Spain).

The main attraction is a 70 meter monumental sculpture of Gulliver, which can be accessed through ramps, slides, stairs, etc., and which represents the precise moment in which Gulliver has just arrived in the country of Lilliput and has been tied by the liliputienses. The figure is made on a scale such that visitors resemble the inhabitants of Lilliput when they were walking on the body of the character created by Jonathan Swift.

He was commissioned in 1990 by the Valencia City Council to the architect Rafael Rivera and the fallero artist Manolo Martín with a design by Sento Llobell.

The Park is strategically located in the city of Valencia, near the Parotet, the Escola Universitària de Magisteri Ausiàs March and the different buildings of the architect Calatrava that make up the City of Arts and Sciences.

It is accessed through the Custodian Angel Bridge, and remains open from Monday to Sunday from 10 am to 5:30 pm. In summer the schedule is usually extended until 9:30 PM. Admission is free.

This is a really lovely, unique play area that could have been a lot of fun; however in the afternoon (13:00) it was incredibly hot and my daughter hurt her skin on the slides. Checking the opening times we saw it was open until 20:00 so decided to come back in the evening on our return home; unfortunately, despite what the sign says they refuse entry after 19:30! My son, and numerous other children were very upset watching others already on the equipment continuing to play but no one else being allowed in despite there being another 30 minutes until closing. Even so, they were asking people to get down by about 19:45 and had locked the gates before 20:00 so the opening times aren't quite what they say. It seems such a shame, and unnecessarily unfair really given that it's actually a small space and 15-20 minutes would have been plenty time to get a good play, and only takes a few minutes to...
