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:
- Toilet Seat Museum, Alamo Heights, Texas
- Carhenge, Alliance, Neb.
- Cadillac Ranch, Amarillo, Texas
- Museum of Pez Memorabilia, Burlingame, Calif.
- Gatorland, Orlando, Fla.
- Eiffel Tower, Paris, Texas
- House on the Rock II II , Spring Green, Wis.
- Stonehenge II, Hunt, Texas
- Extraterrestrial Highway, Rachel, Nev.
- 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?
