world's largest cuckoo clock

It's a clock. The clock works, but I don't think it's animated, or mechanical aside from that. Could be in the summer, I don't know. However, I know it was "saved" and restored (it looks lovely!) -- so kudos for that!

I know that it's just a Cuckoo Clock, clock in this little town of Sugar creek, but its so fun to see. It's like one of those "Must see" touristy things...like seeing the worlds largest ball of yarn or something. About an hour away in Chester, WV there is the world's largest teapot just on the side of the street too!

During my fall semester at Muskingum University (I drive everyday from Bremen to school and back), my family and I went to attend the Swiss Festival. We saw the World's Largest Cuckoo Clock, and because I am studying some German on the side of my music education, I was fascinated by the Polka Music and Alphorn Call and Response since I am a music education major. I really like the cuckoo clock and they have been around since the 1650's, over 360 years! Please attend the festival and see this wonderful masterpiece at work!

We remember this clock from when it was in its previous location and it brings back many good memories for me even going there with my mom and brings fond memories of my heritage. Love to see the dancers and listed to the music as I used to belong to a dance group that performed in the same manner.

I expected the "largest cuckoo clock" to be in a museum, but it is located in the Swiss Village on a street corner. It was good for a quick picture, but that's about it.

Hard to believe that this beautiful clock was destined for the scrap yard until some locals suggested it be moved to downtown Sugarcreek (home to the annual Swiss Festival every September). It's fun to watch what happens on the hour and makes a great backdrop for photos when all the flowers are in bloom. Definitely a FREEBIE must-see when you're in the area.

out on the corner and cute as can bethis is a site that all travelers must seeit coocks on the hour and the half hour toothe band will come out and they's play just for you!the largest in all of the world's what they say.so go watch the dancers and guys as they play.

In this area of Ohio, most things are shut down on Sunday mornings. We took a beautiful drive and went to see this clock. As others have noted, it plays music for a good 3 minutes and the figures move the entire time. It is a fun thing to do if you are in the area and have nothing better to do.

It's in downtown Sugarcreek and it's free. Not a major attraction but I believe worth your time. A legion of musical players and dancers come out every hour and half hour for your pleasure. It is pretty cool and entertaining. We had to go back a couple of times to watch and take pictures. While there look behind you and see the new brick murals of Sugarcreek and the surrounding area. It's the world's largest Cuckoo clock and certainly worth your time, even if your not a cuckoo lover!

We arrived right before the clock began to sound which is every half an hour, when the clock sounds carved women and men come out and dance while music plays.

the cuckoo clock is only one part of this charming swiss town in ohio...many of the buildings in sugarcreek have beautiful swiss murals painted on the tops...lost of swiss flags flying beside the american flag...the alpine museum is a great way to spend a couple hours too...this is a nice detour thru amish country...

Totally enjoyed watching the clock when it hits the hour and half hour. There really is a show to see and loved the music too. If you are anywhere in the area, it is worth the visit. The whole town is nice to see.

The clock goes off on the half hour, so we had just missed it. We waited for approximately 27 minutes for a very short show. It was cute.

I remember when the cuckoo clock was located at a nearby restaurant for many years. You had to put a quarter in a turnstile and then walk up stairs to view the clock. We would eat and then check it out before experiencing the rest of Amish country. Many years ago, the restaurant where the clock was located closed and the clock had started to fall in disrepair. Fortunately, a few years later several people got together and moved the clock to the spot where it’s located today. It was refurbished and restored to its former glory. The clock now runs every half hour right in the center of Sugarcreek and there is no fee to view it. There are benches so you can sit and watch the short show. There are a couple of unique stores and a restaurant (Beachy's Country Chalet) nearby. Another fun activity located right in the center of town is a horse drawn wagon ride. There are signs posted on the shop doors that tell you when the wagon boards. It's run for donations only. You get to take a ride around the town and get a little bit of history while doing so; I definitely recommend this activity if you're in the area. The Alpine Hills Museum is located in the center of town as well and is run by donations. They have lots of unique items in here and it's worth spending some time if you've never been before. Also, if you don't mind a little walk there is a small grocery store a couple blocks away from the main area and they sell regular grocery items plus some specialty items like gluten free products. In the same store, there is also a small cafe right next to the deli that sells sandwiches and ice cream.I wouldn't go significantly out of my way to visit but if you're nearby I would definitely stop and check out the clock and the town of Sugarcreek! It's a nice way to spend an inexpensive day out with the family.

Yes, it's really a large Cuckoo clock and had figures that come out on the hour to dance for you. Really neat to see.
