On the the big ones in the downtown core is this, the World's Largest Wind Chime. It is accessed through the patio area of what looks like a cute restaurant, Whitling Whimsy Cafe, which was closed on Sunday when I was here. In fact, most of the town was closed on Sunday. Still, the Things are accessible. The Wind Chime is certified by the Guinness Book of World Records and are 49 feet tall with the largest chime being 42 feet long. There is a center rope pull so that you can make the chimes sound if it's not a windy day. I like that this one is interactive. [Review 19676 overall - 131 in Illinois - 648 of 2023.]

There is a walking path and some landscaping nearby so you can absolutely get the perfect photo opportunity with the pitchfork. I pulled up the van to get a picture for scale and then found a better parking space so that people who didn't want to see my Sprinter van could get their shots. I would encourage you to do the same and think of the other visitors who don't want you in their photos. Other than the restaurant, there isn't much else here. Maybe get a meal and then check out the other World's Largest Things nearby. [Review 19673 overall - 128 in Illinois - 645 of 2023.]

My favorite of the World's Largest things is this one, the World's Largest Mailbox. Aside from being huge, it is possible to actually go inside it and climb the stairs. Looking out the front flap (which opens and closes!), I could see down to the "Free Candy!" van parked over by the World's Largest Barber Pole. And yes, the World's Largest Mailbox does have a mail slot so you could send a real letter or postcard from here! [Review 19679 overall - 134 in Illinois - 651 of 2023.]
