The folks at TripAdvisor.com put together its list of the top 10 wackiest attractions in the United States.

At No. 3 was Cadillac Ranch, a long-standing attraction near Amarillo, Texas:

Cars sprouting from the earth apparently get high scores on the bizarro meter. Ten graffiti-covered Cadillacs look like they’re drilling for oil, with their noses buried deep in the Texas terrain off old Route 66. Bring a can of spray paint.

Off Interstate 40, between exits 60 and 62.

The entire list:

  1. Toilet Seat Museum, Alamo Heights, Texas
  2. Carhenge, Alliance, Neb.
  3. Cadillac Ranch, Amarillo, Texas
  4. Museum of Pez Memorabilia, Burlingame, Calif.
  5. Gatorland, Orlando, Fla.
  6. Eiffel Tower, Paris, Texas
  7. House on the Rock II II , Spring Green, Wis.
  8. Stonehenge II, Hunt, Texas
  9. Extraterrestrial Highway, Rachel, Nev.
  10. Twine Ball, Darwin, Minn.

Others that could easily make the list are the World’s Largest Rocker near Cuba, Mo.; Precious Moments Park near Carthage, Mo.; and the Rattlesnake Museum of Albuquerque.

Interesting. What does it say that 40% of the top 10 are in our great state of Texas?
