Ginger and I walked the Solar Walk in Gainesville - a four-billion-to-one scale model of our solar system built in 2002. The entire walk has planet monuments spaced to scale (requiring the 'walk' to extend for over a mile). Each monument includes a plaque highlighting information of interest for that planet.
All planets are represented in 2002 and each monument represents a different planet. We also came across two comets as we walked, and fortunately Ginger's quick pace allowed us to avoid a collision. Below are the monuments, information plaque sample and Haley's comet. Click to open photos.
