Exploring the World’s Largest Czech Egg in Wilson, Kansas 🇨🇿🥚

Simba 🐾 and I rolled into Wilson, Kansas — proudly known as the Czech Capital of Kansas — to check out one of the most colorful and unique roadside attractions in the Midwest: the World’s Largest Czech Egg!

This massive, vibrantly painted egg stands as a celebration of Czech heritage, and it’s not the only one in town. Our short walking tour took us past several other beautifully decorated Czech eggs scattered throughout Wilson, each featuring unique patterns, colors, and artistic styles. Together, they bring small-town charm and a touch of European tradition to the Kansas prairie.

📍 Location & Cultural Significance
