The Largest Ball of Twine is something that could and would only happen in Kansas. It is so ridiculous that it's just the kind of thing you need to see to believe. From the photos, Its creator seems like a really chill, very quirky fellow. Sometimes you just have to stop being so serious and roll with it and laugh at the unusual while admiring the dedication and achievement.

The main reason I’ve ever wanted to go to the US is to see this, and it didn’t disappoint. It’s a large ball of twine, and definitely worth the drive through the corn fields of Kansas to get there.Make sure to visit Eyegore’s museum while you’re in town, it’s one of the few things better than a large ball of string that exist on this plane of reality.

Definitely the oddest thing my brother and I encountered while visiting Kansas and Missouri in November of 2023, and it's even odder when one considers that we learned of this 'attraction' through a post on Instagram about the 'worst attractions in each state.' The Ball of Twine is an odd relic, with its history explained through large boards on site. It is in an open-air environment and can be visited at any time during the day. If you're in the area, take a look - there are some cool photo opportunities to get out of standing next to a 27,000-pound ball of string!

If you're in the area and looking for something quirky to day you've done, this is it! I mean, it doesn't get any better than the World's Largest Ball of Twine, does it? That said, it's a quick stop and may not be worth going much out of your way for. <grin>If you do stop by to visit, you may have opportunity to add some more length for the win!

The World's Largest Ball of Twine has been on my bucket list for almost 15 years but the problem was, as most experience, when would I be anywhere near Cawker City Kansas? But a fateful cross country trip finally offered the opportunity to mark this long awaited task off my list. Even though Cawker City's lone claim to fame is this ball, it was glorious!😀 I was oddly excited to finally see it it in person and it did not disappoint. The story, which I will let you discover, is fascinating and well worth any side trip across country to lay eyes on this rough, oddly shaped ball of string...ermmm...twine. Make sure to pay patronage to Julie's Classic Rock Coffee in the parking lot. She was a joy to talk to and her coffee was phenomenal. Thanks Julie!!

The world’s largest hall of twine is a nice little gem to check out. It’s right off the 9 highway, so it’s easily accessible. You can walk around the ball, touch it, read some of the information signs, and even participate in making the ball even bigger by adding your own twine to it! It’s a cool little pit stop and one I would highly recommend if you’re in the area.

We just stumbled across this not so little gem when passing through the city. It is super cool. You must read the whole story about the twine. It is on the back wall, and I have added pics. You can even add your own twine to the ball. Definitely worth a stop in Cawker

My man and I had an absolutely amazing time! There was this sweet old lady that stole our hearts😭🖤 she told us the history behind the yarn and how the ball came to be... she even let us wrap some in to add to it we chatted for a bit, and she took pictures for us! There's a mailbox that you can sign and leave stuff in, highly advised!!! We left pictures of our cats in there in honor of #Tudge 😍😍 if you're passing through, stop for sure because it's definitely worth it🙌🏽

Driving through Kansas and decided to take a small detour just so we can visit the Worlds largest ball of sisal twine. We stopped at the corner first to visit Eyegores odditorium and monster museum who gave us a piece of official city twine to add to the giant ball of sisal twine (and found some other really fun interesting things, it’s a must stop as well!). What a fun experience the kids had when adding twine to the ball, the town is filled with really nice people and lots of cool history. My family is happy we stopped and checked out Cawker City, Kansas!

Cool random road side attraction. We just happened to notice some people at it as we passed and wondered what exactly was so we turned around. We got lucky that there was a local resident there with new twine and we got to add some to the ball!

Worth a stop, especially if you enjoy quirky roadside attractions. Cawker City is a sleepy rural town, but that adds to the 'off the beaten track' experience.

Fun quirky stuff...why not visit? Small quaint town...big ol' ball of twine, what else do you need for family fun?!Since you're here, you might as well continue North to the geographic center of the contiguous United States near Lebanon, Ks.

Quirky place to stop but several interesting things to see. Always a fun little stop. Our Grand Son's experiencing the Ball of twine. An Old KT Service Station and an old House

This was so FUNNY. So, we missed it! Yep, we actually drove right past it because no one told us it was under a gazebo. That's what we get for not reading any Google reviews!SO....this ball of twine is HUGE. It's in a small town, kinda in the middle of nowhere but we made it 1 of our stops on our way to the center of the US. The ride was relaxing and the views were stunning. Being from the East coast, it gave me a whole new appreciation for this beautiful country we live in. (Be sure to check out my sunset on the horizon pic I attached from our ride home) TALK ABOUT WIDE OPEN SPACES, WOW!Definitely add this as a stop if you are planning a simple day trip, or venturing across the country. I'm glad I did!

So we took a chance to search for the illusive World's Largest Ball of Twine. Not a disappointment. The effervescent aroma of twine infused the hot, summer air with memories of farm living, harvests and family traditions. Reading the path Frank Stoeber when he found a bit of old twine. Take a road trip, come on down, bring some 'real' twine to add the this exhibit. 10 out of 10.

The Ball of twine was very interesting to see as well as taking in the unusual antique/oddities museum while visiting. The town has a very good history as to how the town got it's name.
