Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Illinois

While in Illinois, you might enjoy a visit to:

Presidents, biblical figures, celebrities, and a two-basement Chamber of Horrors. Misunderstood by those who want every wax museum to be like Madame Tussauds. We loved it.
~4 miles from Cahokia.

Less a museum than the World's Greatest PlayZone, with precarious places to climb and secret chutes to slide. Plus the World's Largest Underpants, the World's Largest Pencil, and Elvis Presley's travel trailer.
~5 miles from Cahokia.

Almost 15 ft. tall white king chess piece stands in front of the Hall of Fame, which honors players from Bobby Fischer to Ben Franklin.
~7 miles from Cahokia.

Birthplace of the original Bigfoot, where the monster truck phenomenon began. Monster trucks displayed.
~18 miles from Cahokia.
