If you’re not sure exactly where you want to go, but you know you love a good ghost town, for example, visit Atlas Obscura. This site has one of the most exhaustive lists of unique and unusual attractions. You can search by city name or destination type, such as “ghost towns, ruins or museums” to find an attraction that fits your interests or travel schedule. Ones that piqued our interest were the Smile Face Museum in Brooklyn, the world’s largest peanut in Durant, Okla. and the Magic Tap at Hampton Court in England, where an endlessly gushing source of water creates an amazing optical illusion.
 
The Huffington Post created a list of the most bizarre tourist attractions. The list features a wide variety of options, from the Paris Sewer Museum to Bubblegum Alley, where visitors leave their gum on the alley wall. Our favorite destination has to be the Yunessun Spa Resort, where visitors can soak in hot tubs filled with green tea, coffee or wine.
 
Discovery News assembled some of the most unusual tourist attractions as well. In Boston, visitors can peruse the Museum of Bad Art – a collection of unusual original works as well as interpretations of famous pieces. Anyone traveling to Key Largo, Fla. can plan an evening stay at the Jules Undersea Lodge. Guests need to dive 21 feet underwater to access their rooms! All rooms have hot showers, a well-stocked kitchen, books, movies and more.
