This Roadside Attraction
State of Kansas
The World’s Largest Hand-painted Czech Egg is a favorite stop of mine. This includes stopping twice while traveling across the state of Kansas. I have had the opportunity to see it during different seasons of the year. Once during spring and summer.
My first visit to this location was on a road trip with my parents in July 2020 to Colorado. We made the 2-mile detour for us to specifically see the World’s Largest Czech Egg. Another stop took place in March 2023 on my road trip to Arizona.
Brief History of the Location
Traveling to see the World’s Largest Hand-painted Czech Egg? The egg is located in the town of Wilson, Kansas. It’s a short 2-mile drive south of I-70.
Its smooth shell is painted a flat black with traditional Czech designs painted in red, yellow, and white. The design of the attraction was done by the talented Christine Slechta. Not to be outdone, the egg sits under an equally magnificent metal gazebo. Similar Czech designs were cut into the metal of the gazebo. Both the egg and gazebo complement each other and highlight the level of thought that went into it all..
The egg of is comprised of a fiberglass material and was delivered to Wilson in 2012.
The egg was sanded by volunteers in 2013 and given a black base coat in 2014.
Local artist, Chrisine Slechta, students and volunteers painted the egg in 2015 and dedicated in July of 2016.
