World's Largest Cuckoo Clock is a large, animated outdoor cuckoo clock located at Main Street and North Broadway in Sugarcreek, Ohio, United States. Built in 1972 for the Swiss-themed Alpine–Alpa restaurant near Wilmot, Ohio, the clock was relocated to downtown Sugarcreek in 2012 and returned to operation later that year. The structure stands approximately 23.5 ft (7.2 m) high and 24 ft (7.3 m) wide, and at regular intervals a cuckoo bird emerges as a mechanized band plays and a dancing couple appears on the facade.
