Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Minnesota

While in Minnesota, you might enjoy a visit to:

A 36-foot-tall brass and copper statue of an 1880s iron miner, standing on top of a 50-foot-tall pile of rusted steel and slag. Big!
~14 miles from Mountain Iron.

Devoted to the Greyhound Bus Line, in the city of its birth. Sit in an old, real bus and pretend you're being driven to Duluth or St. Paul. Good times.
~17 miles from Mountain Iron.

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.
~27 miles from Mountain Iron.

"Home of the Giant Bluegill," a yellow and green fish that greets travelers as they drive Highway 53 past Orr.
~38 miles from Mountain Iron.
