That looks really cool! I've visited scale models of the solar system in Eugene, Oregon[1] and Norwich, Vermont[2], but neither one is anywhere near that size.

Here in Australia we have earths largest scale model of our solar system. https://www.nsw.gov.au/visiting-and-exploring-nsw/locations-and-attractions/worlds-largest-virtual-solar-system-drive https://www.nsw.gov.au/visiting-and-exploring-nsw/locations-...

  No, the one in Sweden is bigger. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System_model#Permanent_true_scale_models https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System_model#Permanent_t...

We have one in Munich as well. Quite nice walk along the river https://www.deutsches-museum.de/museumsinsel/programm/programm-a-z/planetenweg https://www.deutsches-museum.de/museumsinsel/programm/progra... It is old, hence Pluto is still part of it

There is a Wikipedia List (German) [1] of quite a few of those (in Germany and in other countries). I stumbled upon it, while trying to find a link to the one in my home town I have wandered quite a few times, as I lived between Neptun and Pluto (it was built before Pluto was demoted), very close to Pluto. It ran the street I grew up in and was built to scale (1:4 bln scale) by a teacher who was a full blown astro nerd and in his free time taught quite a few of the local youth about space, planets, the science behind it, but also built rockets with us and let them fly. I so fondly remember him, as he was one of those people being a massive inspiration to my life.
