Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Michigan

While in Michigan, you might enjoy a visit to:

A size 37 shoe, custom-made for the World's Tallest Man, plus an impressive collection of out-of-place Lincoln relics, including wax figures, a bearded death mask, and a lock of posthumously clipped hair.
~12 miles from Wixom.

An towering symbol of American -- and particularly the Detroit area's -- highway prowess. Built as a Ferris Wheel for the 1964 New York World's Fair.
~24 miles from Wixom.

Large spherical tank at the Marathon oil refinery painted to resemble a basketball -- the Detroit Pistons are acknowledged on one side, and women's Shock team on the other. It was once painted as a baseball.
~26 miles from Wixom.

Christmas and Bavaria -- who could ask for anything more, especially on a summer road trip? Stand next to the giant Santa statue on a sweltering July afternoon.
~55 miles from Wixom.
