Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Missouri

While in Missouri, you might enjoy a visit to:

Statues of Popeye and his comic cohorts populate a town, honoring the local artist who modeled his cartoon characters on Chester residents.
~33 miles from Farmington.

Brother Bronislaus Luszcz, inspired by the Black Madonna of Poland, spent over 20 years building an impressive collection of grottoes. He died, still working, in front of one of them.
~46 miles from Farmington.

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.
~60 miles from Farmington.

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.
~60 miles from Farmington.
