The World’s Fair is the largest expo designed to showcase national achievements and inventions. Each time the World’s Fair is hosted, it goes to a different country, so they can join in on the celebrations. Besides the excitement that comes with hosting the World’s Fair, many governments like to build a special attraction for the fair grounds. And even though these attractions are only supposed to be temporary, several of the World’s Fair structures are still up today!
