Welcome to Minnesota, where the roadside attractions are a-lake-ing in nothing but fun! This is the land of 10,000 lakes, but also 10,000 chances to spot something gloriously quirky.
Start with Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox, the ultimate lumberjack dream team, posing proudly for all your selfie needs. The Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture is as sweet as it is surreal—a giant spoon, a giant cherry, and a whole lot of “Why didn’t I think of that?”
If you’ve got a taste for the unusual, head to the SPAM Museum, where canned meat gets the VIP treatment it clearly deserves. Or flap your wings over to Pelican Pete, the World’s Largest Pelican, because who wouldn’t want to see an eight-ton bird watching over a lake like a feathery sentinel? From food-themed fun to legendary lumberjacks, Minnesota’s roadside attractions will have you grinning wider than Babe’s horns.
