World's Largest Wren Statue in
Topeka (KS)

You'll need to park and walk to get a photo with the world's largest wren statue. Would be nice if they added a plaque with some information about the statue.

Big bird statue. Nice green area with a little landscaping.

Underwhelming, "worlds largest" suggests larger, definitely not worth a whole trip but still definitely still cute

It's a statue in middle of an avenue. There's no nearby place to park. Still a beautiful statue.

I found the size of the wren disappointingly small for a "world's largest".

Giant Bird!! Super cool!! Looks like she’s been recently painted too. Fun thing to stop along and see.

Cute statue. Fun photo spot.

Penny was like meh. Still cool and nice location, despite the construction.

Statue needs a make over. Kind of rough. But it was a nice place to stop to get other pictures of the area.

Kinda silly, but fun. There are 3 or 4 parking spots near this "park". The capital building is within walking distance.

I mean what can you say about the supposed world's largest wren? It sits on a small triangle shaped piece of land. It could use a paint job. But hey, it is the world's largest one on a corner in Topeka, Kansas. Definitely a bucket list item you need to do if you are in the area.

Wren looks happy and well maintained. Surrounded by nest of greens

Well, it was something I was wondering about. It's something to see if you are just your kinda thing. If you're into that. But there isn't much here. You can drive past it and see it all. iJS

Definitely worth a look. But parking is very limited and traffic seemed very busy.

Cute and quirky, so I like it. Great photo of city sign and Capital building in distance

I've seen this before as a kid growing up it used to be the advertising for a local radio station.

I can’t say no to a roadside attraction! If you’re passing through Topeka, this adorable wren is definitely worth a stop. His paint has gotten a little faded, but still worth the photo op. Easy parking is available nearby along SW Hutton Street or in the adjacent judicial compound parking lot.

Big wren in Kansas. Cool for pictures

Nice statue of a wren. But it’s a big claim to say this is the world’s largest. My buddy has one twice the size.

It's a giant bird statue... And contrary to what my sister always told people, is most definitely is NOT named after her - it was part of the WREN am Topeka radio station (1947-1993) that was out of Lawrence Kansas. The bird was once bought and scheduled to be moved to Branson Missouri, however it ended up staying and being restored by a local artist. Today it sits over at the intersection of Topeka Blvd and Huntoon (12th and Topeka), where if you want to pull off the road for a picture you most certainly can - but please be careful of motorvehicle traffic as this is a highly busy area no matter what day of the week it is - it IS, after all, just a giant concrete bird...

I was a nice quick stop spot on our X country trip. Statue is in good shape for being out doors. The park area has some street parking and is a decent area to walk around in.

Fantastic experience!! Arrived right at sunset for some knee slapping photo ops with this hidden gem in Kansas! Would highly recommend to anyone passing by on I-70 :)

Located right near downtown is this cute little roadside attraction that’s has been there longer than I bee alive!

Probably not a lot of people interested in this statue although it has historical significance to Topeka. We were here to take my Mothers picture with the statue like she had done in 1950. Close to Kansas Capitol Bldg. Another point of interest.

What's not to love about the world's largest (and probably only) wren statue? It's a brown larger than life size bird sitting on a pedestal on the side of the road on Topeka Blvd., in Topeka, Ks. Interesting fact, the MeadowLark is the State Bird of Kansas, not the Wren. *the more you know*

As an avid fan for quirky roadside attractions this is definately a huge bird! It's a bit sun faded sits prominently in a little grass park between busy streets. There is a pull off spot to park so you can get up close to view it. My 4 star rating is the lack of info plaque. There is some info online but the statue sits with no credit to the artist or explaination.

Locally famous, this is not just a really big little bird, it's the world's biggest wren! Originally the mascot for a local radio station, WREN, the statue now stands in Huntoon park and is easily accessible for a quick photo-op on your journey!
