World’s Largest Cuckoo Clock

Ohio


C’mon, you know you want to see it. Located in downtown Sugarcreek – aka the Little Switzerland of Ohio – the 23ft-tall clock lets loose every 30 minutes on the hour and half hour, when a five-piece mechanical oompah band swings out of the door and plays polka music for a mechanical dancing Bavarian couple. The shenanigans last about three minutes.
