Just last weekend we saw the world's largest pancake griddle in Penn Yan, NY. Also here in NY, we have the world's largest kaleidoscope and the former world's largest garden gnome. One of my personal faves was the world's largest bowling pin in Tampa, FL http://gobigorgohomeblog.com/519 Wacky and offbeat attractions are our favorites, especially when they’re the world’s largest, longest, or tallest!

I've got a "See Rock City" birdhouse in my basement, and we just came back from a trip in eastern Ohio where we saw another Old Sparky chair at the Ohio Reformatory (the old prison where they filmed the Shawshank Redemption, among other flicks) and snuck over the border into West Virginia to check out the "World's Largest Teapot"!

I really liked the big fish restaurant near Bena. Too bad it is no longer operating and looks like it's falling apart. Cool shape for a building, though. Minnesota has bunches!
