Weird Tourist Attractions By AdventureIf you want to find a weird tourist attraction by adventure, say a haunted hotel, a mailboat ride or Stonehenges in America, this is the place to look. It's also a great place to just scroll down and get ideas. The adventure is first, then the title/topic and lastly the state. The adventure link will go to the adventure itself while the state link goes to the state page with all the attractions listed for that state. This is a great way to find a place that has a certain type of weird tourist attraction you're looking for.
