Our adventures in America’s west have eventually brought us to the state of Wyoming: home to the famous Yellowstone National Park and a whole lot of weird and wacky roadside attractions.

So come along, enjoy the ride and discover Wyoming’s oddest tourist attractions.

1. Shoes made from Big Nose George:  Rawlins’s Museum

A pair of shoes made from the skin off the nose of one of America’s most notorious horse thieves’ and train robbers may not seem so appealing to many, but its position in the Rawlins’s local museum is a popular one.

Accompanied with Big Nose George’s skull, the exhibit invites shrieks from school students and the intrigue of nosey tourists from across the world.

These are a pair of shoes everyone who is anyone “nose” about.

2. Old West Wax Museum: Thermopolis

Wax is a material that can be molded like no other, giving it the uncanny ability to bring the past into the present, and characters to life.

The Old West Wax Museum is a sticky example of this, portraying the harshness of life through somewhat creepy, realistic dioramas that depict such things as Teddy Roosevelt, past hangings, and Mountain Man Jim Bridger.

This house of wax will fire up your imaginative streak and open your eyes to America’s past in an entirely different light.

3. Ames Brothers Pyramid: Laramie

If you aren’t in the mood for a trek to Egypt, the Ames Brothers Pyramid is the next best thing. Standing a symmetrical 60 feet square and 60 feet tall, this monolithic structure stands proud on a treeless, windswept plateau of nothingness essentially.

Steeped in history, along with the carved out faces of the brothers, this pink granite structure is a standout of Wyoming’s roadside attractions: literally.

4. World’s Largest Jackalope Statue: Douglas

Wyoming’s “Official Mythical Creature”, the Jackalope, is largely celebrated by the town of Douglas, evident through their 8-feet statue of the animal in central downtown.

Claiming to be the “world’s largest jackalope statue”, the locals can’t get enough of this furry freak, with plans to expand the creature’s size to a whopping eighty feet in the near future.

With tributes to the jackalope continuing throughout the town, it’s safe to say that this town is well and truly obsessed.

5. Fossil Cabin:  Medicine Bow

What do you get when you combine 26,000 dinosaur bones in one big clump, with a hollow inside? A Fossil Cabin of course!

Affectionately known as the “Oldest Cabin in the World”, this dinosaur boned structure makes for an interesting photo opportunity and a unique walk through.

Browse the pre-historic collections of fossils and discover what it is like to be in a casing of dinosaur bones.
