Gulliver Park (Parque Gulliver) is one of Valencia’s most imaginative attractions, designed
especially for families and children. Located within Turia Gardens, the park features a
giant 70-meter-long sculpture of Gulliver from the classic tale Gulliver’s Travels, lying on
the ground so visitors can climb, slide, and explore his body. The creative design
represents the moment Gulliver is tied down by the tiny Lilliputians — transformed here
into slides, ramps, and tunnels for endless fun.
