    This 15-foot tall statue weighs around 5 tons and is all but guaranteed to take your breath away. The gold isn't just a trim--the statue is actually made from 83% solid gold! That makes it worth millions of dollars, but the story behind it might be worth even more. Note: The tour is over 2 miles long, with more than 16 audio stories, and takes about 1-2 hours to complete.
