Gulliver's Land

Gulliver’s Land was opened in Milton Keynes in 1999 and is the third park in the Gulliver’s theme park chain.

Although not as large as the flagship Gulliver’s World in Warrington, Gulliver’s Land packs a huge amount of rides and attractions into its small footprint, all aimed at children between 2 and 13 years old.

Behind the entrance to the park is a small Main Street which leads to the park’s castle. Beyond this are four major themed lands - Adventure World, Lilliput Land, Western World and JCB Zone which was added in 2017. It all feels rather like a small-scale Disneyland.

Lilliput Land features a dark ride telling the story of Gulliver’s Travels, together with Dragon Siege, an inverting spin ride which is by far the most extreme ride in the park and the only one to turn visitors upside down.

The jungle themed Adventure World includes The Jungle River boat ride which takes riders on an adventure past various jungle scenes, and the Jungle Falls dinghy slide.

Neighbouring Western World is themed around the Wild West and contains Gulliver’s Land’s log flume, Runaway Train rollercoaster and the Silver Mine dark ride.

The final land, JCB Zone, feels a bit out of place compared to the rest of the park, but provides a great play space for kids to operate diggers and pretend to be builders for the day. JCB Zone features the Crazy Crane drop tower which towers over the rest of the park, and confusingly the indoor Crazy Mouse rollercoaster which doesn’t really have anything to do with JCB.

Overall Gulliver’s Land is nicely done and, despite its small size, has more than enough to do to entertain a family for a day out. Notably, Gulliver’s policy of only allowing families to enter (no adult only groups are allowed) helps create a friendly atmosphere which is perpetuated by some wonderful staff members and nicely thought out attractions.
