I'm from Boston and The Museum of Bad Art is really fun and i went there by accident! It actually has three locations but the one i went to was in the basement of an old artsy theater, next to the bathroom.

People say the lights are intelligent, and intentionally do things to mess with you. Who knows. But it's interesting.

Originally the location was nothing but an alley behind the local Saenger Theater, but it's been transformed into a very quirky and fun space, full of "little people" (tiny figurines) in various whimsical miniature scenes - as well as scavenger hunts that are changed on a regular basis, and an "art depository" where people can bring their own tiny art and leave it to be claimed by another or simply appreciated for a time.

For New Jersey you, missed the Palace of Depression in Vineland. It was created by George Daynor during the great depression out of basically found items & garbage. When Daynor was alive, he charged a $0.25 fee tour the property which took him 4 years to build at the cost of $4.00. Daynor passed in 1964 at the reported age of 104 years old and not long after that the palace caught fire & burned forcing the city to raze most of the property and leaving only the original ticket booth intact, but in 2001, a Vineland native decided to rebuild the Palace, Kevin Kirchner created the save the Palace of Depression fund & took an additional 3 years to obtain all the permits and clear the woods that had grown up on the property since the fire & razing. As of now it is in at least 90% completed status. It was also mentioned in the movie Eddie and the Cruisers.

During the 1950 Delmarva Chicken Festival in Georgetown, Delaware, a giant frying pan was unveiled. It was made by the Mumford Sheet Metal Company in Selbyville, Delaware. This colossal pan measured ten feet in diameter, had an eight-foot handle, and weighed 650 pounds. It could hold a whopping 800 chicken quarters! The pan set a world record as the World’s Largest Frying Pan and was a star attraction at the festival for 37 years, frying over 100 tons of chicken. Although it’s now retired, its legacy lives on, used to hold the title of world's largest frying pan. While the Delmarva Chicken Festival celebrates all things poultry, it’s held in Salisbury, Maryland, not Delaware, which is the location of the frying pan / skillet. The giant frying pan was originally constructed in 1950 by the Mumford Sheet Metal Works in Selbyville, Delaware. The pan was created specifically for the Delmarva Chicken Festival, which was an event organized by the Delmarva Poultry Industry, Inc. (DPI) to promote the local poultry industry across the Delmarva Peninsula, which includes parts of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia

That Illinois one is weak. You couldn't pick the small town with all the world's biggest stuff Casey Illinois. Or the fairly accurate replica of many Egyptian landmarks in Chicago, or the Superman Statue In Metropolis Illinois and all the other Superman stuff there.

I agree. So much better and weirder stuff in Illinois.

Utah's Gilgal Garden is the real go-to. Joseph Smith sphinx is unrivaled

Since you guys like morbid things as well I should mention Michigan's anatomy of death museum is pretty neat.

Very interesting. But all of us who have lived in Sunny NoDak or neighboring lands want to teach you how to pronounce Wahpeton. Wikipedia comes close with its suggestion: WAH-pit-ən I'm guessing folks from other States will have additional suggestions because we love picking nits.

You did a great job. Wipe the corners of your mouth and be a little less stoned. Nice voice, good cadence.

God, the white stuff on his lip was distracting me, especially when they zoom in! I couldn't finish the video.

I’m a native Arkansan. You should’ve mentioned that the Gurdon Light is seen when you walk down live railroad tracks, it’s illegal & must gain permission to walk down the tracks. A better attraction would’ve been the Crater of Diamonds State Park or Christ of the Ozarks in Eureka Springs or the Indian Mounds near Scott, AR or Quigley’s Castle or Fouke Monster Museum or The Alligator Farm or any number of other attractions that are less dangerous or not illegal.

You didnt go to Pops in Arcadia Oklahoma and home to the round barn. Also in Pauls Valley Oklahoma is the super hero toy museum

I’m surprised you did mention the world’s largest Dutch wooden shoes & candy store for IL.

Stopped at the SPAM Museum while driving through Minnesota once, but it was closed. Just as well I suppose.

Awwww. That's sad. Did you keep heading north? The hockey museum's up north. So is the largest Walleye, complete with saddle so you can ride it, and the largest Thermometer. That giant thermometer will tell you, sometimes, that you are in the coldest spot in all of the lower US states (meaning: not including Alaska.) If you pass through Brainard you'll find Paul Bunyan too. I have a pic of me (age 4) standing by a gigantic Paul. I'm the size of a mouse next to his boot. There are a lot of Largest this and that throughout Minnesota and the Midwest. Enjoy!! 🤍

Illinois definitely should’ve been the bigfoot statue in the Shawnee. Best photo-op in the state

Wisconsin definitely should have been represented by House On The Rock! (Thirty years ago I'd have said Xanadu: House Of Tomorrow) Combine the Coral Castle, the Mechanical Museum, and the Anita Mystery House, and then multiply by a factor of nine. Much cooler than some silly old bobble-heads!

Oklahoma has a action figure and toy museum that is a much more interesting place to visit in our state.

Lol....for Wyoming there are actually quirky tourist places. The Smith Mansion at Wapiti, the nuclear bomb facility at Chugwater, Crazy Woman Creek, Hell's Half Acre, the jail where Billy the Sundance Kid was held, Vore Buffalo Jump, South Pass...the list goes on. Yellowstone isn't quirky and you really missed the bus on this one.
