Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Louisiana

While in Louisiana, you might enjoy a visit to:

Has exotic displays of voodoo as practiced in Haiti and Africa, along with brightly painted devil statues -- and a diminutive half-monkey half-fish "Fiji Mermaid" or merman (we had a hard time telling).
~6 miles from Metairie.

Real human skulls, voodoo dolls, and a Rougarou: a man with a gator head. Small, but packed with real voodoo items. Tries to be informative and non-sensational, but it's still freaky.
~6 miles from Metairie.

Lots of local gossip from the local characters who show you around the swamp in a little boat.
~28 miles from Metairie.

Bassigator Monster and UFO Crash Site -- two of many strange exhibits in "Louisiana's most eccentric museum."
~35 miles from Metairie.
