Unique Roadside Attractions
from Around the Globe

Nothing beats a good road trip and the discoveries we make along the way. The odder the roadside attractions are, the better. Some of them are plain weird and downright tacky, others are genius and imaginative inventions and real works of art. Some convey a serious message and others provoke us to shake our heads.

I call them roadside treasures; others think they are nothing more than tourist traps. Either way, I am glad they are there. Driving long distances can be quite tiresome, especially with kids in the car. These roadside attractions always give us an opportunity to stop and - at least - stretch our legs and maybe wonder, who on earth came up with such outrageous ideas to build the worlds largest and oddest things.

*Stamp collection "Roadside Attractions" by Canada Post*

Proof that I am not alone with my love for the wacky and tacky along the road is the collection of stamps by Canada Post, depicting Canadian Roadside Attractions.

Some of these sites are free, others charge a small fee and some are on private grounds, put there by the artist or a collector. If that's the case, please be considered and ask for permition to take a closer look.

Enjoy your road trip, be safe and have fun! And please do share your quirky discoveries with us!
