World's Largest Beer City Brewery Six Pack / World's Largest Things Drink up! Drive past Heileman's Brewery in La Crosse to see the world's largest beer, part of the world's largest six-pack.

World’s Largest Lobster  Lobster Statue / Shediac Citizens of Shediac, New Brunswick, celebrate their self-proclaimed status as "Lobster Capital of the World" with their 35-ft/11-m statue of a lobster.  The largest lobster recorded was caught in Nova Scotia, weighing in at 44 lbs/20 kg—we're still searching for the world's largest stick of butter. World's Largest Burger Denny's Beer Barrel Pub / Reuters America has always had a reputation for excess. From budget deficits to SUVs and all-you-can-eat buffets; if you can make it larger, that's how we want it.  Thankfully for super-sizers everywhere, the spirit behind that reputation has not been lost on Denny's Beer Barrel Pub inPennsylvania. Hungry? Order ahead for their 100-lb/45-kg burger. Of course, there's always the 6-lb/3-kg or 3-lb/1.3-kg version if you're a wimp. World’s Largest High School Rizal High School / Reuters Remember how much fun you had in high school? The crowded hallways, awkward moments, pop quizzes and questionable cafeteria food...  Imagine reliving it with 10 times as many classmates. Doesn't sound like my idea of a good time, but it's an everyday reality for the nearly 25,000 students at Rizal High School in Manila, Philippines. I feel worst for the janitor. World's Largest Gorilla Run Gorilla Run / Reuters Hundreds of people dressed in gorilla costumes running a 4-mi/7-km scenic route around London—we're as serious as we can possibly be about this.  The annual event is put on by The Gorilla Organization, a London-based charity that raises funding and awareness for Mountain Gorillas in the Congo. If you want to participate, visit www.greatgorillas.org to register for the run and, of course, to get your gorilla suit. World’s Largest Home Biltmore House / Reuters The biggest tourist attraction in Asheville, North Carolina, isn't its outdoor recreation, but what's indoors—specifically, the world's largest private home, open for tours and special events year-round. Ironically, our favorite part about the tour was the outdoor flower garden. The estate also operates a bed-and-breakfast and an on-site restaurant with an extensive wine list. To truly understand Biltmore's size it needs to be viewed at a distance. From theBlue Ridge Parkway south of town you can see almost all 8,000 acres that comprise the estate. World's Largest Roller Coaster Kingda Ka / Dusso Janladde Six Flags Great Adventure is the proud home of Kingda Ka, a steel roller-coaster, standing a frightening 456 ft/141 m tall. We're just assuming the line for thisNew Jersey landmark is equally impressive.  Besides being the tallest roller-coaster in the world, it’s also the fastest. The Kingda Ka accelerates from 0 to 128 miles per hour in a jaw-dropping 3.5 seconds. World’s Largest Casino The Venetian Macau / WiNG Although this honor was formerly held by theFoxwoods Casino inConnecticut, the moniker now belongs to the Venetian Macau. This Las Vegasexport boasts 550,000 sq. ft. of gaming space, 3,400 slot machines and 800 tables. Odds are you'll end up leaving with the world's largest hole in your wallet.  The Venetian Macau is so large, many consider it to be the second largest building in the world (in terms of square footage) behind the Boeing factory in Washington state. <<> Next >> World's Largest City Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo / WeFT Without a doubt the world's largest city (by population) is Tokyo, Japan, coming in at more than 35 million people.  It far and away beats outNew York City, Sao Pauloand Seoul. Tokyo is awash in skyscrapers and flashing lights, and you can never be found wanting for things to do. World’s Largest Velvet Elvis Velvet Elvis / Reuters If you've ever struggled to find a good example of kitsch, look no further than the Tattoo Factory inChicago, Illinois.  This Windy City tattoo parlor is home to the world's largest Velvet Elvis (or Velvis). Measuring an impressive 12 ft/4 m by 12 ft/4 m, the Velvis renders the Graceland great with a tear in his eye, possibly from the thought of having been immortalized on velvet. World's Largest Restaurant Damascus Gate / Damascus Gate Sometimes finding a restaurant for a large family reunion can be tricky, but only Abraham's family would have trouble fitting into Damascus Gate.  This Syrian capital restaurant specializes in Chinese and Indian cuisine and seats more than 6,000 diners. When you're not waiting for a table at Damascus Gate (ha!), be sure to see the many other attractions in what is one of the world's oldest cities.
