![]() Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near CaliforniaWhile in California, you might enjoy a visit to: Los Angeles, California: La Brea Tar Pits"Death Trap of the Ages." Prehistoric animals, trapped in tar that bubbles out of the ground just east of Beverly Hills. One pit has a viewing platform with doomed fiberglass beasts. In the museum is a wall of 400 wolf skulls, and a glass-walled room with scientists cleaning the bones. Inglewood, California: Big Doughnut, Randy's DonutsGiant doughnut atop Randy's Donuts is seen again and again on TV and in movies. Los Angeles, California: Space Shuttle EndeavorAfter much fanfare and tree carnage, the space shuttle has settled into its permanent post-mission berth in LA, alongside exhibits about cooking and going to the bathroom in zero gravity. Also here: the pickup truck that pulled the Shuttle through the city. Los Angeles, California: Velveteria: Museum of Velvet PaintingsCaren and Carl share their unmatched collection of naked ladies, unicorns, African-Americans in love -- it's all on display. Was in Portland; reopened in LA in late 2013. © RoadsideAmerica.com, Doug Kirby, Ken Smith, Mike Wilkins.
