The US is home to some incredibly weird and wacky things. I fact, we have almost dedicated our entire blog to it!

For those among us who enjoy things that are just a little bit strange, this new guide to the Odd Attractions of the US will be just the treat. Covering all the states and regions of the US, this brand new guide will take you to some of the strangest destinations and attractions that call America home.

So come along for the Jurnii and start exploring the weird and wacky of the US today!

Junkrassic Park

Behold a land where objects fashioned out of recycled metal farm implements roam free.

It may not sound like a premise for a blockbuster movie, but it’s none the less a place worth digging in to.

Montana Testicle Festival

Tantalize your taste buds at the Montana Testicle Festival: home to the tastiest testicles in town. The annual event attracts a titillating 10,000 people all seeking to sample the world’s finest bull testicles in a testy festy fashion.

Tinkertown

One of Route 66’s more offbeat attractions, Tinkertown blends folk art with nostalgia and is an unbeatable display of items from the mid-west, packed into a confusing structure that will leave you in awe of just how wacky some people can be.

Vent Haven: Ventriloquist Museum

Ventriloquism is something that has intrigued the public for many years, and as fascinating as it may be, many of us are still wary of just what these “dummies” can do. This museum really puts you right in the thick of it, as you walk through endless rooms of silently grinning dolls, it’s hard not to get a slight feeling of the “heebie-jeebies” and wonder just what’s going on in their little wooden heads.

Ghost Outpost

While many haunted houses tend to be on the corny and cheesy side, the Ghost Outpost in Wisconsin Dells tries to move past this and create an experience that will truly terrify its visitors; emphasis on the “tries”.

Museum of Bad Art

There aren’t too many art galleries one would visit expecting to see bad art; but this place is one of them.  While some would consider the artwork here masterpieces, most would agree it’s tragic beyond words and there is no other place for it.

Bread and Puppet Museum

Home to some truly creepy puppets, this museum takes weird and wacky to a whole new level. Many of the puppets here are deformed, adding to their creepiness, making for a perfectly freaky day out.

Here at Jurnii we know that a good holiday is usually all about keeping the kids entertained and happy at all times. While we occasionally get the chance to enjoy a night alone, it’s usually the day activities that turn out to be the really memorable parts of a vacation.

With this in mind, we’ve developed a guide to the attractions of the US. Covering all regions and states, this one stop guide will help you plan your vacation to the US, taking all the hard work out of searching for places to visit.

So why not take a look at our Guide to US Attractions. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peak!

Seattle Aquarium

Discover a fascinating marine environment at the Seattle Aquarium where you will encounter orca whales, glowing jellyfish, sea anemones, clever sea otters, and everything in between.

This unique marine environment is perfect for people of all ages and is open 7 days a week.

Disneyland, Anaheim

Disneyland is famous for its masterful story telling of some of history’s greatest tales, in an interactive and mind-blowing way.

A trip to Disneyland is a guaranteed unforgettable experience no matter how old you are, and simply cannot be missed while in the sunny state of California.

Bloomington Mall of America

The Mall of America is not only the largest shopping center in the US; it is the largest in the world. Boasting an impressive 400 shops, 50 restaurants and bars, along with the largest roofed theme park in the US, this place is any shopaholic’s dream!

Ben & Jerry’s Factory Tour

Ben & Jerry make some of the best ice-cream around so a tour around where it all happens is a must for any fans. Nestled in the Green Mountains just north of Waterbury, this factory offers some fantastic tours with sampling mandatory.

Statue of Liberty

A ferry runs regularly to the Liberty Island on which it stands, and there you can visit the museum in the statues pedestal. Unfortunately it is no longer possible to climb higher into the statue.

Whale Watching in Cape Cod

Provincetown is probably the best place to organize a spot on one of the boats that takes you out to the whales – a highly recommended activity! A walk down the infamous commercial street to the wharf is a pleasant experience too. On the boat trip you are almost guaranteed whale sighting, and you’re bound to see other creatures such as dolphins and of course lots of bird life.

West Virginia is noted for its mountains and diverse topography, but what it really should be known for is its wacky roadside attractions.

From what we have seen, it seems to have a bit of a thing for what lies underground, with secret caves and mystery holes frequenting several of the towns.

So what’s so fascinating about these kinds of attractions? Read on to find out more!

1. Mystery Hole: Ansted, West Virginia

While you may be a bit hesitant to enter a “mystery hole”, don’t be alarmed; this attraction isn’t really all that mysterious. The exterior is actually rather tacky, making this attraction the perfect addition to the theme of “America the Strange”.

We can’t actually share what’s in the mystery hole, so you’re just going to have to go check it out for yourselves.

2. World’s Largest Teapot: Chester, West Virginia

It seems every state across the nation seems to have some “World’s Biggest” whatever, and West Virginia is no exception.

Enjoy a roadside cup of tea at, yep you guessed it, the “World’s Largest Teapot”. Measuring in at 12 feet high and 44 feet wide, this is one afternoon tea that without a doubt will stretch into the night.

3. John Brown Wax Museum: Harpers Ferry, West Virginia

Some say John Brown works better as a house-of-horrors wax museum, and after visiting this place, we would have to agree.

This museum tells John Brown’s life story, beginning in his childhood and ending with a scene of his execution by hanging. The museum is slightly morbid, but definitely with the entrance fee.

4. Lost World Caverns: Lewisburg, West Virginia

These lost caverns were made famous back in 1992 when claims of a “Bat Boy” living in these caves hit the tabloids. The large-eyed, fanged human child was said to have been raised by the bats in the cave that measures over a thousand feet long, and reaches 10 stories high.

Take a tour down under and then head up to the surface to explore the adjacent Natural History Museum, another great local attraction.

5. West Virginia State Farm Museum: Point Pleasant, West Virginia

This farm museum is home to many attractions you wouldn’t quite expect from an attraction of this kind. The highlight is without a doubt the “World’s Largest Stuffed Horse”, valued at an impressive $25,000 and attracting keen horse lovers from across the nation.

The rest is rather typical of an American farm with a log cabin, old school house, doctor’s office, blacksmith shop, barber’s house and post shop adding to the authenticity of the place.
