Guinness World Records Museum

The Guinness World Records Museum features some of the most unusual, grueling, disgusting, and amazing feats of humanity throughout the ages in a fun and interactive way. Cleverly set up as Main Street USA, building facades play host to exhibits from the world’s smallest dog to the world’s largest Hawaiian shirt and everything in between.

Two exhibit favourites are those that allow people to test how they measure up to the world’s largest and tallest men. Others prefer to try their luck at beating records on some of the world’s best-selling computer games ever.

Highlights of the Guinness World Records Museum

At the Guinness World Records Museum, you can find a plethora of old-timey palm reading machines, fortune teller apparatuses, and even a Penny-Farthing bicycle. Scattered throughout the venue are exhibits for various Hollywood and music records and paraphernalia, as well.

Check out Rocky’s Gym, which houses sports records and gives people the opportunity to break personal records like dribbling a basketball or getting a field goal with a paper football. In the Attempt Arena, you can make attempts at breaking world records, from trying to move the most beans from a cup to a plate with chopsticks to testing to see if you have the world’s loudest scream.
