Strange attractions around the world?

I was researching places to take the kids in Denmark, and i found a few odd attractions. The first I think was lost in translation more than actually being odd, but the others, well..... read the descriptions.

What strange things have you found or seen?

There is also a "skid mark roller coaster" without a description. That may be GOOD thing that they haven't described it.

Minneapolis used to have the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices, but it has since been moved to the main science museum.

I've never been there, but the "Creation Museum" in Kentucky seems absolutely bonkers:

http://creationmuseum.org/

Millions of dollars in high tech exhibits explaining how the Garden of Eden was real, cavemen lived with dinosaurs and how the earth is only 6000 years old...

The exhibits are one thing .. equally priceless (or slightly frightening, depending on your POV) are the earnest employees trying to convince you it's all the straight dope.

There's always the Parasite Museum in Tokyo. Free admission, the gift shop sells a nice tapeworm t-shirt in western sizes. I don't recommend the cafeteria.

Agreed. I thought the fettucini tasted a little odd.

We really enjoyed the insectarium in Montreal:

However, the Farting Dog Rollercoster is an amazing find!
