Crap tourist attractions of the world

[belgo]

The winner just has to be The Witloof Museum of Belgium - that is a whole museum dedicated to the vegetable Chicory.

aw c'mon Zoomarine in Portugal is alright , we booked the swimming with dolphins programme which was the main thing we did there. Dd LOVED it and still goes on and on about it.I think if we hadn't done the dolphin thing, just gone round doing the rides, it would not have been worth it though.

I think the weirdest thing we did was go to some small depressing village in Brandenburg (forget where now) outside Berlin and pay to look in a kind of small tomb at the body of a knight which has not decomposed, apparently he was cursed for raping a young girl (first night privilege). He was small and shriveled but he still had eyes and skin. Peculiar. Really very strange.

Bob Marley's old home in Trenchtown, Kingston is quite wierd and totally pointless. You get a very stoned old rasta showing you around what is basically an old, tatty house saying "that old car over there, Bob's car" etc. And everyone promising when they get the money they are going to do it all up and get loads of tourists (there are no tourists in Kingston, everyone's too scared). Then you drive off through the badlands and back to uptown Kingston where you can breath safely again.....

thanks LontimeinBrussels!



still think wiflof is more boring then peppermint!

[abroadandmisunderstood]

I'm the winner! We have a peppermint museum in our town.

[LongtimeinBrussels]

Belgo, I'm hijacking here - don't forget about the meeting-up thread - they're looking for you over there!

[LongtimeinBrussels]

Belgo, please just take my word for it and don't waste your money. It was pokey and I remember the woman demonstrating was being very radical about something and we couldn't get away (can't remember what though!). On the plus side, we got a little bit of free chocolate but as the shops are full of it, I'd advise to spend your money on a box of them rather than this museum!

land's end, john o groats and the lizard.

[MyCatIsGreebo]

Lands end. Was expecting something dramtic and awe inspiring. Got a big carpark, ugly building and tarmac paths

Bakersman: the Mutter Museum

Basically its an ancient collection of body parts preserved in formaldehyde in large glass jars!

[LynetteScavo]

Well, Mercy, I haven't seen the registry office. And I suppose the monkeys are quite sweet.

[fatzak]

DH won't believe me when I tell him that I was very unimpressed with the Niagra Falls!

[belgo]

LongtimeinBrussels -how can a chocolate museum be bad?!

Agree about the Niagara Falls -all neon lights especially when they illuminate the waterfalls to different colours.

[Mercy]

The Register office & grounds in Gibraltar are nice though! It's not that bad LS

lol at this thread

[LynetteScavo]

DH would say the lobster hatchery in Padstow - but I love it, and insist on going in every year.

[FelixFelicis]

Madame Toussauds

Overpriced, overhyped and overcrowded.

[LynetteScavo]

Gibralta. All of it.

[Bakersman]

Kiwi what is the mutter museum? Can only think it's people wandering about muttering under their breath

[mosschops30]

Zoomarine in Portugal .... I felt like Id been transported to the 1970's

The Needles, IOW .... tis like a meeting place for tacky plastic crap and chavs

[brimfull]

Niagara Falls

Cadbury world

[Kiwinyc]

Bakersman - I've been to see the Liberty Bell! You're right, it is a let down. BUT, I think Philadelphia redeems itself with the supremely weird Mutter Museum!

[princessmel]

Ds would love the City of Itu with all the big things!

[Bakersman]

The Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. Very very dull, just a bell (smaller than you'd imagine) with a crack up the side. DULL!!!!

[LynetteScavo]

SantaLand in Scotland. OK, it might have been better if we hadn't gone in July, after Santa had gone home for the day.

[Dophus]

Landsend.
Santaland Canada
Mrs SF - have you been to Yankari in Nigeria - does it still exist?
