Coordinates: 53°24′22″N 2°37′05″W / 53.406°N 2.618°W Gulliver's World is a theme park located to the west of Warrington in England.[1] It is set in a forest and includes a man-made lake near Old Hall and Callands. The theme park has a large wooden roller coaster, The Antelope. Opened in 1989, the theme park has a number of small rides and is mainly a children's/family theme park. The park is split into 9 sections; Adventure World, The Lost World (formerly Dinosaur World), Entrance Plaza, Circus World, Western World, Alice's Wonderland (due to Warrington being near Daresbury, the birthplace of Lewis Carroll), Counts Castle, Smugglers Wharf, and the newest area to date, Water World.
Gulliver's World has Sister Parks at Matlock Bath (Gulliver's Kingdom) and at Milton Keynes (Gulliver's Land).
