Come to Casey and see the World's Largest Things. They're all over town and it's only a couple of miles off I-70 as you're passing between Terre Haute and Saint Louis. On the the big ones in the downtown core is this, the World's Largest Wind Chime. It is accessed through the patio area of what looks like a cute restaurant, Whitling Whimsy Cafe, which was closed on Sunday when I was here. In fact, most of the town was closed on Sunday. Still, the Things are accessible. The Wind Chime is certified by the Guinness Book of World Records and are 49 feet tall with the largest chime being 42 feet long. There is a center rope pull so that you can make the chimes sound if it's not a windy day. I like that this one is interactive. [Review 19676 overall - 131 in Illinois - 648 of 2023.] read more

To see this structure is mind boggling. The grounds and the flowers are manicured and look wonderful. Looks like somebody cut the grass with a scissors. My only complaint is that someone planted trees right in front of the WLWC lettering on the back wall. Spoils the photographs of we the tourists. read more

Deep sounds and beautiful surroundings. The flowers leading to this patio are picture perfect. My mother loves wind chimes so my sister and I decided it would be better if we stop instead of her ever finding out we passed it up and made her miss out on photos of us chiming it. Lol We tried come cookies from inside and they were absolutely delicious. read more

The world's biggest wind chime is absolutely cute and what I enjoy about it the most is the fact that it's interactive for anyone. You do need to put some force into pulling the rope but I will add that the sound when you make contact isn't too appealing, it more so sounds empty and hollow read more

Very cool novelty tourist attraction! Fun for those traveling throughout Illinois & enjoy visiting small towns.

This is such a weird thing (World's Largest stuff) for a small Illinois town to be famous for. But it's actually pretty fun to walk around the little downtown and check out all the attractions. The rocking chair is one of the more impressive items. You can tell the city is quite proud of it as the grounds are immaculate. read more

Going east or west on Interstate 70, take a pit stop in Casey IL. About a mile or so off the highway you'll find a small downtown with some of the worlds Largest things. Start off at the Worlds Largest WindChime. There is lots of parking in the street. Look across and you'll see the world largest rocking chair. Wishing you could sit on it, that was the only con. Both worlds largest have lots of area for selfies and photo taking. Locate the golf course less then a mile east and you'll see the worlds largest golf tee. On the other end of downtown is a big cage w swing, and a giant working mail box, but you have to go side to mail your postcard or letter. The town also had a lot of other worlds Largest items. Definitely worth the stop. read more

What's better on the Great American Road Trip than taking a pit stop to see the world's largest anything? As I said to one of my friends, "I can cross something off my bucket list that I didn't even know I had on it!" If you're in Casey, or just driving down I-70 and need a stretch break, know that there is a place that meets your needs for either with the World's Largest Wind Chime. It's easy to find (exit towards the south, drive about a mile, then turn left onto Main Street, the Wind Chime will be on your right), parking is ample, and a cafe next door provides a great place to grab something to eat or drink if you need any refreshment. The chime itself looks like a huge tower, and you can "ring" it, although it sounds more like a giant gong or bell due to its size instead of the gentle tinkle I usually associate with a wind chime. It's situated in a garden with the writing "World's Largest Wind Chime" behind it, so there's no mistaking where you are when you stop for a photo op. read more

A free attraction. Great for families with kids. I was traveling thru Casey on a trip to see relatives in the area. I saw the sign advertising the wind chimes, but my 1st pass was at night. My next pass on the way home was during the day and I was able to find it very easily, just one block east of Central Avenue. I took a couple pictures, but they don't do the chimes justice. I visited on a calm, windless day. My first thought when seeing this gigantic display was what it would sound like when the wind was blowing, especially since it is sheltered from the prevailing winds by buildings on two sides. The engineer part of me says set it out in the open and let nature ring these chimes!! Located right next door to the Whitling Whimsy cafe, you shouldn't have any trouble finding the chime or the cafe. Town center is approximately one and a half miles south of I-70 exit 129, along IL-49. A couple other tourist attractions in Casey are the world's largest golf tee and the world's largest knitting needles and crochet hook. If you are a Guiness World Record fan, you can add three attractions to your list with just one visit to Casey. Now all they need is a large rocking chair to go along with the wind chimes. read more

"World's Largest Wind Chime" ??? Seeing this sign while driving on I-70 through Illinois peaked by interest enough to stop and see what this free roadside attraction was all about. Located a short drive from the main highway in Casey, IL, this is one-and-done stop to mark-off your roadside attraction bucket list. Road signs direct your way to this Main Street attraction that does have parking directly in front of it. The Wind Chime itself is a sight to see and is interactive. If you choose, you can ring it. If you come at the right time, there is a gift shop/ cafe. Overall, it is a nice 5+ minute break to give your legs a stretch and take some pictures of this novelty attraction. read more

We visited Casey, IL yesterday we had a great day visiting Casey. The world's largest Wind Chimes, Rocking Chair, Golf Tee, Pitch Fork and more. I was very nice to see the people that were visiting as well. Social distancing was observed yet we were able to see all the charming items in Casey. Learning the history of Casey while walking through the town seeing the sites. Pictures added are only about half of what we saw. We are looking forward to going back and spending a day when the COVID has gone and we can go inside the shops to look around and visit the coffee shops and ice cream shop. It truly is a trip back in time that we are looking forward to. read more

Wacky Americana at its best. Found this place while driving from St. Louis to Indy. It's in Casey, IL, population 3,000. It's a whimsical little town, with a wacky and fun penchant for crafting huge sculptures.. windchime, pencil, birdcage, mailbox, and my favorite...a huge rocking chair that actually rocks. Be sure to visit the workshop too! You'll feel stupid walking around with the other gawkers, but go for it, have fun and take some pictures! read more

Located in downtown Casey, you will find the World's Largest Wind Chime, and yes it actually chimes. The wind chime is located in a small garden next to a gift shop, which is also home to the World's Largest Knitting Needle and a few other items claiming to be the world's largest. I didn't step into the gift shop so I cannot comment on that, but I did witness several people pull the chimes producing more of a gong than a chime. Located right across the street is the World's Largest Rocking Chair, so its easy to catch both roadside attractions in one quick stop, allowing you to stretch out your legs after a long drive. Overall this is a unique roadside attraction the helps give the small town of Casey a unique personality. I almost forgot to mention that the attraction is free, so that makes it even better! read more

This is a FREE attraction just about 1 mile off the highway. I love things like this, As they make long roadtrips worth the while! Even if you are in a hurry I would still say to take the 15 minutes to stop and check this out! There is plenty of parking around. I was driving a 26ft box truck and had no problem parking there. You can walk right up to it and even ring the chimes through a clever pulley system! It's the kind of thing that just makes you happy! I can't wait to come back to see the rocking chair when it's done! read more

LOLZ OMG WTF... was pretty much our reaction when we saw signs pointing us to the world's largest wind chime. I mean it isn't just every day that you get to see the absolute largest anything in the world, so of course we stopped. Duh. I mean who wouldn't? This was a fun distraction as we drove along I-70. And yes it got us to stop. You win Casey. You win. read more

Great spot to stop at on a long road trip! Wasn't too far off the highway and was worth the stop. There's also a little cafe next to the wind chime! read more

Fun and easy to find. A great little stop if you are in the area. Very easy to find and walk to all of the 'biggest' stuff. There are other shops to hit up as well! read more

What? I didn't know there was a competition for wind chimes. Interesting take on the chimes. Not necessarily a destination spot, but if your passing give the chimes a ring. But, wait, there's more. A few blocks past this large musical bell is the world's largest golf tee. 2 spots in Casey, IL that have the world's largest anything. read more

Well: I must say we would have never stopped in Casey if it wasn't for a worlds largest wind chime billboard! We are traveling from PA to CO and we're ready for some time out of the RV. What a great little town! The knitting store was so quaint and had some unique items. Love the biblical reference on each item: Way to go Casey!!!! read more

Yep, it's big. And across the street is a giant rocking chair. Driving Denver to Indy, I was sick of the interstate and wanted the old national road for a bit. Not a bad diversion east of Effingham. read more

A really neat little spot to check out. You can ring the chime yourself. The kids loved it. They have a very affordable shop that sells baked goods etc. You have to walk through the patio of it to get to the chime. It was very affordable and had some really neat décor. I believe the baked goods were homemade as the girls that were working were mixing up a storm! Our whole family enjoyed ourselves and we would go back for sure. My only thing would be is not one of the people that were working was friendly. No greeting when we walked in, no smiles or a thanks for stopping in when we were leaving. And we stayed for about 20 minutes eating and coloring the free coloring pages for kids. They were not rude by any means just not friendly. We also stopped at the largest golf tee just up the road. And the town will be getting the largest rocking chair too! We looked for the biggest crochet hook and needle? but couldn't find them. read more
