All Roads Lead to GingerBread Lane at New York Hall of Science

Guinness World Records 2014 declared last year’s model to be the largest in the world with 152 houses, 65 trees, five train cars, four cable cars, and an underground candy subway station. This year’s GingerBread Lane is even more impressive, weighing more than 5,000 pounds and stretching up more than seven feet in some spots. It contains only edible ingredients — gingerbread, icing, and candy — and creator/chef Jon Lovitch drafted, designed, planned, built, baked, decorated and made it by hand. Check out this exhibit’s busy schedule at the New York Hall of Science on the jump page.

GingerBread Lane will be on display from November 13th, 2014, through January 11th, 2015, but some special activities will enrich its experience. Here’s its itinerary:
