You’d have to be a pretty big fan of college sports to get anything out of Indiana’s NCAA Hall of Champions. While the building itself looks interesting enough, plenty of extra needs to be added to make it a spot worth visiting. There’s little in the way of memorabilia, events, guest appearances, or much of anything.
The NCAA makes bank, which makes this boring attraction even more surprising. Hopefully, they have some plans for this Hall of Boredom, since underwhelming might be the kindest way to describe it.
A Testament to American Construction
Stonehenge is one of the most famous places in the world, but if you don't have the time to travel all the way across the pond you can visit Carhenge in Alliance, Nebraska. A replica of Stonehenge, Carhenge is made of vintage cars, spray-painted gray. It was designed by Jim Reinders in memory of his father.
Love of a son aside, there's really not much to see here. It's your typical road-trip attraction, great for pulling over and stretching your legs, and maybe getting a photo, but nothing more aside from the gift shop. Then again, it might be one of the most exciting things Nebraska has to offer.
Guess You Should Have Seen This One Coming, Huh
Craters of the Moon, in Idaho, isn't exactly out of this world. Despite the science-fiction name, this tourist attraction has little more than a landscape of volcanic rock. If you're planning a trip for yourself or the space fanatic of your family, be sure to keep expectations low.
You might get a few minutes of enjoyment out of a trip to this national park, but there's little chance you'll want to spend much more time there unless you're a big fan of volcanic rock.
This Could Be the Oldest Structure in the Country
In Newport, Rhode Island, there stands an old structure – a tower, made from stones in a style you might expect to see in the middle of the United Kingdom. It's called the Mysterious Viking Tower, but that's all the information the location has to offer.
No one knows who built this structure, and the prevailing theory is Viking visitors erected it long before settlers began populating the New England area – in which case it would be the oldest structure in the whole of the US. Unfortunately, there's nothing else to do, so maybe give it a pass.
This is Literally Just a Gas Station
The second gas station on this list is even less interesting than the first. It's the famous South of the Border station, which also includes a restaurant and a pretty large gift shop. What border is it just south of, you may wonder?
It's just south of the North Carolina border. To its credit, it is very close to the border. But, unless you need to fill up your car or belly, this is nothing more than a curio to comment on as you drive past.
