World's Largest Cuckoo Clock

068
   It’s big - 23 feet, 6 inches tall, 24 feet wide and 13 feet, 6 inches deep! The clock was built in 1972 as an attraction at the Alpine Alpa Restaurant. When the restaurant closed in 2009 the clock was bought by local businessman Mark Coblentz. After a complete restoration the clock was set in place in the center of the little town of Sugarcreek. Every 30 minutes the cuckoo pops out, a band appears from behind the doors, and the couple twirls around to the music.

   A paved walkway allows wheelchair users a close up view.

   Parking is available along the streets. Clock
