Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Minnesota

While in Minnesota, you might enjoy a visit to:

Soudan, Minnesota: Deepest Place You Can Go In America

An elevator drops you a half-mile beneath the surface. At the very bottom is a laboratory where physicists are trying to measure the mass of neutrinos. Sounds like the plot of a bad sci-fi/horror flick, but it's true.
~19 miles from Ely.

Two Harbors, Minnesota: Pierre the Pantsless Voyageur

A giant canoe-paddler statue recalls a time when French explorers navigated the wilderness waterways. Without pants.
~62 miles from Ely.

Orr, Minnesota: Big Bluegill Fish Statue

"Home of the Giant Bluegill," a yellow and green fish that greets travelers as they drive Highway 53 past Orr.
~46 miles from Ely.
