Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Texas

While in Texas, you might enjoy a visit to:

For over 30 years Barney Smith, master plumber, has turned toilet seats into works of art. He works in his garage, and he loves visitors.
~11 miles from Universal City.

Probably the only museum in the world in which waitresses come up to you as you tour and ask, "Want a beer?"
~14 miles from Universal City.

Big strawberries and strawberry art can be found around this small town, which holds an annual strawberry festival.
~39 miles from Universal City.

About 100 concrete hippos are scattered throughout this community, including a large one in front of the high school. Apparently an escaped circus hippo in the early 20th century created quite a stir here. My favorite was a pair of hippos, with the girl in a yellow bikini.
~82 miles from Universal City.
