 Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near IllinoisWhile in Illinois, you might enjoy a visit to: A dense and varied variety of crazy metal creatures and characters created by a junk art sculptor, exhibited on his lawn. An old speakeasy -- a reported haunt of Al in his heyday -- displays a lot of the exhibits from the defunct Al Capone Museum in Chicago. Praised by some as the best Haunted House attraction in the U.S. It's in a real haunted house, for starters, and its owner has added many embellishments. A funeral parlor with a sense of humor has a horror-themed mini-golf course in its basement. |
