Catch glimpses of giant metal roadside art along the country highway, such as the enormous 75-foot-tall buck, and pull over at Geese in Flight, believed to be the largest scrap metal sculpture in the world.
There is a gigantic grasshopper, a 70-foot-tall trout, and 40-foot-tall rooster, and a massive hen with two chicks. The trip’s highlights must be the giant Theodore Roosevelt with a coach and horses and the world’s biggest tin family. On your way back, stop at the gift shop in Regent and buy miniatures of each giant artwork and have a delicious bite to eat at the Enchanted Castle before heading home.
