The best roadside attractions for truckers in the U.S.
Carhenge
Tired of U.S. highways? Travel to England without leaving the country. Nebraska presents: Carhenge. A replica of Stonehenge, but instead of stones, it’s made of classic American cars. Painted gray to resemble the famous English monument, the vehicles at Carhenge can be found in Alliance, Nebraska, right off Highway 87.
This clever adaptation has even been nicknamed “America’s Stonehenge” and will undoubtedly brighten your journey.
Cadillac Ranch
If you’re still in the mood to see more cars, Cadillac Ranch is the perfect stop. Located right off I-40 in Amarillo, Texas, this psychedelic public art installation features brightly painted vehicles that appear to be nose-diving into the ground. Built in 1974 by the art collective Ant Farm, Cadillac Ranch consists of a row of 1949–1963 Cadillac models, painted in vivid colors and positioned in a very unusual way.
The installation is visible from the highway, or if you’d like a closer look, you can pull in and walk up to it.
The Fremont Troll
Under the George Washington Memorial Bridge, you’ll find the Fremont Troll. This colossal sculpture depicts a troll clutching a real Volkswagen Beetle in its claws. Visitors can climb on the troll and even pose with its hubcap eye—but be careful, or it might catch you!
The World’s Largest Six-Pack
The World’s Largest Six-Pack can be found in La Crosse, Wisconsin, right along Route 61. Built in the 1970s, these gigantic beer cans serve as storage tanks for the City Brewing Company. They hold 688,200 barrels of beer, equivalent to 7,340,796 cans.
Biosphere 2
With a futuristic vibe, Biosphere 2, located in Oracle, Arizona, is a massive glass structure that houses a scientific research center dedicated to Earth systems science, just off I-10. This center isn’t just for sightseeing, it’s for learning. Inside this facility, which looks like something straight out of a science fiction movie, you can explore the past, present, and future of our planet, surrounded by striking architecture and a one-of-a-kind landscape. It’s also the largest closed ecosystem ever created by humans.
Enchanted Highway
The Enchanted Highway is a 32-mile stretch of road adorned with metal sculptures created by local artist Gary Greff. Along the route, travelers can see a wide variety of figures, from families to giant grasshoppers, fish, and geese. This road offers a unique visual experience for anyone passing through. Greff’s original vision was to turn his hometown into a tourist attraction, and through his sculptures, he successfully transformed this stretch of highway into an open-air gallery.
Dinosaur Kingdom II
Dinosaur Kingdom II, located in West Virginia, is a quirky attraction that blends history, fantasy, and science fiction. It features an unusual cast of characters battling dinosaurs, including soldiers, mad scientists, and even Abraham Lincoln. Dinosaur Kingdom II is situated along South Lee Highway, near Interstate 81 in Natural Bridge. It’s certainly an attraction that will break up the monotony of the road.
