We seem to have a fondness for odd, unusual, and weird roadside attractions in Wisconsin. For some reason, we've amassed quite the collection of "World's Largest" things you can either stop by and visit or take a selfie in front of. No matter where you wander within "The Badger State," you should be able to find one of the world's largest things in Wisconsin. Listed below are 15 of the "World's Largest" things that are right here in Wisconsin, and you'll want to visit them all. Don't forget your camera!

1. World's Largest Barber Pole - Elkhart Lake

The painted silo is more than 115 years old, and the owner has been giving haircuts nearly as long.

2. World's Largest Letter M - Platteville

The large M is on a hill outside Platteville and sits 241 feet high and 214 feet wide. It can be seen from 30 miles away. The artwork is meant to memorialize the local mining industry. Two Platteville students outlined an M in snow in 1936. It took a long time to melt and by that time, folks were attached to it. So they used limestone to lay out an M on the hill and it's been there ever since.

3. World's Largest Grandfather Clock - Kewaunee

The clock is 38 feet tall and was built for the American Bicentennial. For a long time it stood outside a shop in Kewaunee, but it has since been moved next to the Ahnapee State Trail, in sight of the Kewaunee Harbor.

4. World's Largest Round Barn - Marshfield

Built in 1916 to house purebred animals in 250 stanchions, it was made without the help of scaffolding. The barn is 150 feet in diameter and 70 feet high. It's a part of the Marshfield County Fairgrounds.

5. World's Largest Soup Kettle - Laona

Seven feet across and three feet deep, this soup kettle is the manifestation of a tradition that's been around since the 1920s where folks from the community gather at Silver Lake Beach for a communal soup. They bring their own bowls and eat with friends.

6. World's Largest Mustard Collection - Middleton

The National Mustard Museum is a truly unique experience. Admission is free and so is tasting. The place has such a wonderful kitschy atmosphere.

7. World's Largest Talking Cow - Neillsville

Built for the 1964 World's Fair, Chatty Belle is 16 feet wide and 20 feet long. Put a quarter in her and you'll get a full story about who and what she is.

8. World's Largest Corkscrew - Hurley

There's not a lot of backstory for this one. It's just meant to draw attention to the liquor store it stands in front of. The owner also collects corkscrews.

9. World's Largest Bicyclist - Sparta

Between the Elroy-Sparta State Trail and the hometown fiberglass company, it's not difficult to understand how "Ben Bikin" came to be. He's spawned a real-life version, "Little Ben," who rides around Sparta as an ambassador.

10. World's Largest Mechanical Globe Planetarium - Monico

Frank Kovac wanted to build a planetarium immune to being blocked by a cloudy sky. This is a 22-foot-diameter, two-ton globe tipped at 45 degrees. He meticulously hand-painted 5,000 stars, paying attention to their relative brightness. It's only the fourth such planetarium ever built, dating back to the 15th century. It truly is one of the most unique things to see in Wisconsin.

11. World's Largest Six Pack - La Crosse

These cans have gone through quite a few labels, as different breweries have used the building. Now, outside City Brewery, they are actually functional and store the brewery's stock.

12. World's Largest Muskie - Hayward

Located at the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, this guy is 143 feet long and up to 20 people can fit in his mouth viewing area.

13. World's Largest Talking Loon - Mercer

"Claire d' Loon" here sits outside the Mercer Chamber of Commerce. She's 16 feet tall and will talk to you in loon voices. She's one of the silliest roadside attractions in Wisconsin.

14. World's Largest Penny - Woodruff

The penny is a memorial to Dr. Kate Newcomb, who was a traveling physician in the area that hoped to build a hospital for the people of the Northwoods. Local schoolchildren started to collect pennies, and the story blew up from there. The 17,000- pound, 15-foot-tall penny commemorates her work and the kindness of the community.

15. World's Largest Badger - Birnamwood

In the 1970s and '80s, this large badger was the mascot of Badger Country gas station. You literally drove into a large, hollowed out log to fuel up, beckoned there by this 40-foot Badger. The gas station eventually closed and then began a new life as a gentleman's club, so part of this Badger has been relocated and is a memory of a different time.

Here's a video of the Badger in all of its former glory:
