Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Louisiana

While in Louisiana, you might enjoy a visit to:

Has exotic displays of voodoo as practiced in Haiti and Africa, along with brightly painted devil statues -- and a diminutive half-monkey half-fish "Fiji Mermaid" or merman (we had a hard time telling).
~6 miles from Metairie.

Has an oversized "den" where you are shrunk to the size of a bug and are threatened by a bird and a trapdoor spider, and an "immersion theater" where things pop out at you and mist sprays in your face.
~6 miles from Metairie.

A never-completed minor tourist attraction for the 1984 New Orleans World's Fair. It looks like a small-scale medieval castle.
~20 miles from Metairie.

Bassigator Monster and UFO Crash Site -- two of many strange exhibits in "Louisiana's most eccentric museum."
~34 miles from Metairie.
