History
Gulliver’s World was opened in 1989 and is the second Gulliver’s theme park to be built in the UK with the first being Gulliver’s Kingdom located in Matlock Bath. The park has expanded since then with additional attractions, bigger rides and with the opening of The Gulliver’s Hotel to provide short breaks. Gulliver’s have focused specifically on families with younger children across their three theme parks.
Significant rides at the park include The Antelope, The Crazy Train and Apache Falls. Play areas are provided both indoors and outdoors for younger children.
Rides and Attractions
Splash Zone
Gulliver’s World has expanded to include additional indoor attractions that are available throughout the year. Splash Zone is their first major indoor venue on the site, consisting of multiple water based features such as slides and sprays. There are sessions on selected term time dates that are just for pre-school children. These 'Splash Tots' sessions have been introduced in recent years due to the high demand from parents with toddlers.
NERF Zone
Designed for children aged 6 and over, this indoor attraction has been a popular choice for birthday parties and group visits in Warrington. NERF Zone provides participants with a chance to gain experience in the target range and then enter the main NERF Arena. NERF Blasters, goggles and target vest are provided for each session.
RAF Burtonwood Heritage Centre
The Gulliver’s World site was once part of the RAF Burtonwood air base. The official RAF Burtonwood Heritage Centre was established and built on the theme park so that visitors could explore the history of the site in further detail. The centre features various collections including RAF memorabilia alongside numerous displays.
