Flavorwire

We always want to make the most of a hallowed day off, and so out comes the offbeat travel guide we got at an office white elephant party, and then — inevitably — the New York Times Travel section. Be it a colorful festival of birds in a Minnesota bog or battling nature-deficit disorder in a more hands-on way by attending a work song workshop and then putting the results to practice in the fields of a historic plantation, we crave unusual adventures. In honor of rip-roaring excursions, we’ve rounded up some of the most intriguing but bizarre tourist attractions of a bygone roadside era. From alligator farms and ostrich racetracks to meteorite museums, click through to check out lost roadside attractions we’d love to visit.
