At 9,370 Pounds, The World’s Largest Popcorn Ball Is An Unexpected Find In A Small Iowa City

There are some truly bizarre and wonderful attractions to be found scattered throughout the state of Iowa. If you've ever driven through Sac City, Iowa, you'll already know about one of the most unique - a world-record-holding ball of popcorn!

Welcome to Sac City, Iowa, a small town located in Sac County, Iowa.

What sets Sac City apart? Well, a quiet city park in this small Iowa town hides the most unexpected find: the world's largest popcorn ball. See that little white building in the back? That's where it lives (yes, it even has its own house).

Concocted in 2016, the world's largest popcorn ball weighs a whopping 9,370 pounds. It's a massive 12 feet in diameter.

It's falling apart a bit these days, but you can still get a good glimpse of what this behemoth was like in its glory days.

And while you're here, you can also visit the Sac City Museum and historic village just adjacent to the world's largest popcorn ball.

The park is rarely busy and there's no admission fee to peer inside the windows at this bizarre roadside oddity, so there's really nothing to stop you from giving it a look next time you're in the area!

Have you ever taken time to stop and see this unique world record holder? You can find it at 1300 West Main Street in Sac City, Iowa. And if you think about it, it makes sense that such a wonder would be produced in Iowa. We are the corn capital of the world, after all! If you love unusual attractions, Iowa is the place for you! We're also the home of the world's largest strawberry, after all (or at least, it's the largest in the United States). And the world's largest truck stop. And the world's largest grotto.
