Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-05 00:00:00 Clint Mantin I visited a lot of cool places because of this book. "Updated and even weirder, this new edition boasts more than 400 unique destinations for tourists looking for attractions off the beaten path. Bizarre locations and landmarks include Chainsaw Gordy's Garden of Saws, Smokey Bear's head, the World's Largest Soup Kettle, the Toilet Bowl Parade, and the world's only upside-down White House. This book offers fascinating and little-known historical tidbits and answers burning questions such as Where was Liberace born? What is a hodag, and how do you catch one? Who invented the hamburger? and Will a Polka Hall of Fame ever be built? This is the real guide to Wisconsin, birthplace of the snowmobile, the typewriter, and the ice cream sundae. The address, phone number, hours, cost, directions, and website of each oddity accompany its description."

Review # 2 was written on 2013-06-12 00:00:00 SANDRA FRITZ I loved this book! Ran through it in one shot. It's amazing how many of these oddities that I have visited! It must be that I am an oddity myself. :) (Please don't respond to that!) Actually, geocaching has brought me to many of these locations. Most unique locations like this have a geocache associated with them. One of the perks is that the author gives maps that show you where these "unique" locations are to be found in proximity to one another. A road trip would be possible. Best of the places that I've already visited: the Great Wall of China rock in Clintonville and the Happy Tales Books in Markesan. Place that I most want to visit that I haven't yet: the Forevertron near Baraboo. Thanks for putting all these oddities in one place! Loved it!
