Guide to roadside oddities and other strange, weird and unusual attractions in Minnesota.
Paul Bunyons are real popular Minnesota tourist attractions.
You see, Paul was born in Minnesota.
Or at least that's what Minnesota people claim.
Bemidji to be exact.
So there’s lots of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox roadside oddities in Minnesota. And, well, maybe they’re true life size but maybe, just maybe, they’re smaller!
Besides a bunch of Paul Bunyans, other Minnesota tourist attractions include some really cool unusual lodgings. And a cool ride to get to some of them, too!
Okay. It’s his birthplace if you don’t live in Bangor, Maine. But hey, if you can be buried two different places why can’t you be born in two different places?
See Paul and Babe along the shore of Lake Bemidji near the Tourist Information Center.

Paul Bunyan’s grave - as a small boy - is in Ely, MN. His grave - as a grown up - is in Kelliher, MN.
While traveling through Minnesota, just keep your eye out for Bunyan related stuff. There’s a bunch. And remember to look up, too! There’s a water tower painted as his fishing bobber in Pequot Lakes.
