Boeing still offers tours of their plant in Everett, north of Seattle. This is the largest building in the world (I think by volume, certainly by ground floor square footage). This is where we make the wide body 747, 767, and 777 aircraft. The tour is cool, rates about a 9 on the awesome scale. You get to see lots of big airplanes in all phases of construction. It used to be free but somebody realized that it didn't generate any income and they charge $10 for it now. Check out the web site:
