The Eden Project is a can’t miss family attraction in Cornwall, UK, that boasts the largest greenhouse in the world. And the coolest looking one, we think.

Are You For Real? Gateway to hell lies in Turkmenistan!

Hell’s Gate is the nickname for this giant hole in the middle of  the Kara-Kum Desert in Turkmenistan. It was discovered in 1971, when the ground gave way under an excavation team to reveal an opening to a massive underground cavern of natural gas. The hole was set ablaze, to keep the toxic fumes from spreading, and it has been burning non-stop for the last 40 years.

Greenpeace goes all da Vinci.

GO THERE! Wheels, Wheels, Wheels


The London Eye or Millenium Wheel was the tallest Ferris Wheel in the world (443ft) when it first opened in the year 2000. Of course the Chinese couldn’t have that, so they built a bigger one called the Star of Nanchang (525ft). Not to be outdone, Singapore soon after rolled out the Singapore Flyer (541ft). The next challenger to swoop in and claim the title could be a city near you!

GO THERE! A little bird told me…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Jurong Bird Park
in Singapore is a massive bird-lovers paradise. Contained within the park is the largest indoor aviary in the world, giant waterfall included, where exotic birds can eat their lunch out of your hand. Awesome!

The Katoomba Scenic Railway, built in the late 1800s at the Blue Mountains of Australia, is still the steepest incline railway in the world, transporting passengers down through a canyon cliffside, into a lush ancient rainforest and back up before dinnertime.
