Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near California

While in California, you might enjoy a visit to:

Pseudo-scientific anomaly, where the laws of gravity and science go haywire.

Grocery store with a crashed flying saucer lodged in its roof.

The Madonna of the Trail is a pinkish, stony-faced pioneer Mom, in long skirt and bonnet, strutting westward with an infant in her arms.

Headquarters of the Unarians, firm believers that 33 city-ships of the galactic Federation would arrive on Earth in 2001 (they didn't).

Drive through a pair of giant doughnuts.

Giant doughnut atop Randy's Donuts is seen again and again on TV and in movies.

A lonely observation tower near the Mexican border.

Another sad big tree attraction.
