@Mike Wyatt posted:We saw Gulliver's Gate in November 2018. We were very impressed with the quality of the exhibit, the friendly staff. and the overall value. Though it was not per se a train exhibit, it was a fantastic modeling exhibit.
We were also impressed with the SIZE of the thing, given the cost of prime retail space in NYC, mid-town Manhattan, near Times Square, and directly across from the Majestic Theater (Phantom of the Opera for now over 30 years).
Gulliver's Gate did not seem to very "busy"- I guess that combination might be what killed them- the cost of (their figure) 50,000 sq. ft. of exhibit, AND several thousand more square feet in their check-in area. But likely no "hundreds of thousands" of visitors.
Too bad. Maybe in a less-costly city??
In talking to some of my former coworkers about Gulliver's Gate I had suggested the idea that they should move it out into Queens near Citi Field where there are the other museums and tourist spots such as the Hall of Science and the Queens Zoo.
