Located by the old river bed of the Turia River, Gulliver is a work of engineering made for children of all ages, based on the central character in the story by Jonathan Swift. Children can slide down his jacket, climb up the ropes on his arms, visit the city of Liliput inside him, and do a number of other activities spread out all over the figure. Gulliver was constructed in the workshops of master fallero artists of the city. These same artists are responsible for the incredible and satirical fallas which are assembled and then burnt as part of the Fallas festival. This one, however, is here to stay. It was made in various different pieces and then assembled, making it a dream come true for Valencian children. Admission is free
