The World's Tallest Thermometer

If you find yourself in Baker, this is an easy place to swing by. I was there on a cool 78º day, but I imagine the real experience is catching it in the triple digits. There is a gift shop with some trinkets and stuff. None of the items had prices on them, but it wasn't busy and it was easy to ask. The thermometer looked to be in good shape! I'm glad they are maintaining it. I couldn't imagine that stretch of I-15 without it.

Cool thing to see when traveling through that area. Easy on and off the highway. Friendly staff also.

Baker California is a super Quirky blip on the map. Here stands the world's largest thermometer and the UFO Hotel and Alien Jerky Shop. Definitely with the pull off as you trek to or from Las Vegas. You could even find You Tubes one and only #Wonderhussy out there.

What a hot stop in Baker, California! We pulled over to see the World's Tallest Thermometer, and it's even more epic in person. This towering landmark isn't just for show; it commemorates the scorching 134°F record from nearby Death Valley. Phew, it felt almost that hot today, hitting 107°F! We hit the jackpot meeting Billy, who was an absolute gem! He gave us the lowdown on the thermometer's impressive stats (it's huge and heavy!) and even snapped a perfect pic of us. What a legend! Beyond the awesome photo op, this stop has it all. Clean toilets were a lifesaver, and we snagged some cool t-shirts and a much-needed beer cooler from the gift shop. Plus, a quick game of checkers made for a fun, relaxed break. Definitely a super stop on our California adventure!

Pure Americana roadside attraction. Must see for Route 66 and other fans of a bygone age. Several other nearby attractions as well. DQ, Tesla chargers, and UFOs!

It’s tall, seems to be accurate! The first time I stopped, the man behind the counter was very friendly and took the temperature of the frying pan outside and it was only 126° not hot enough to cook an egg. Stopped by a few days later on my way back from San Diego and someone else was working and she was not very friendly. What may be my perspective of friendliness changed after being San Diego because everyone there is super recovery and friendly. Either way the giant thermometer is worth a stop if you like to see the world‘s largest things and get a souvenir. The variety of T-shirts is impressive. But if you don’t care for a souvenir, you can easily see it as you drive past it on the highway.

Customer service guy was very knowledgeable. Small little gift shop. Spent maybe 10 mins there.

Gentleman behind the counter was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Just little disappointed that the thermometer had to be replaced and is now just digital.
