Natural Bridge, VA one of the seven wonders of the world but not nearly as wonderful as the glorious piece of roadside America that has been created around this rock bridge. Now I'm not trying to downplay the bridge it is impressive, it is way larger than pictures can convey not to mention there is actually a highway that runs over top of it. Personally I was always a little surprised that it was ranked up there with Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon but whatever. This is truly one of my favorite places I have been because of all the quirky additions that continue to grow every time I visit. First there is a fabulous gift shop that is full of every tacky made in china cliche you can imagine. Under the gift shop in the same building is a relativity small (space wise) toy museum but completely full with a very impressive collection of toys that represent just about every decade since the beginning of toys. Also on the grounds is a wax museum mostly full of historical figures and also a wax version of The Last Supper that has a prerecorded presentation that goes along with it. Then on up the hill a little from the parking lot is my personal favorite place Professor Cline's Haunted Monster Museum and Dark Maze not to be missed. This is a wonderland of some of the most awesome creation from the mind of Mark Cline who is the one responsible for really turning Natural Bridge into such a wonderfully bizzar attraction. The last time we went there with some friends were actually furtunate enough to meet Mr. Cline and he is every bit as fun and interesting as you would imagine him to be.
Another creation of his that is really something you must see is Foamhenge, this is a recreation of Stonehenge made out of huge pieces of Styrofoam.
And all of this before you even get to the Bridge. The Bridge is a bit more classy and features a recreation of an Indian Village and a light show they do at night based on the Creation. There is a trail about a 1/2 mile to a waterfall. It's pleasant and peaceful but I prefer the monster trail with giant ants and civil war solders fighting dinosaurs.
