Quirky Roadside Canadian Attractions

Quirky Roadside Canadian Attractions


I love my country and I love 'to' travel. Not sure when I will be able 'to' once again, 'hit the road' but it's fun 'to' look for different and unique places 'to' visit. While these may not be destinations in and of themselves, these quirky roadside attractions certainly make the journey across Canada more interesting!

The Sourtoe Cocktail

The Sourdough Saloon in Dawson City, Yukon has a rather unusual item on its drinks menu: a cocktail containing a mummified human toe. Yes, really. The toe is said to have belonged to a turn-of-the-century rum runner who lost his digit to frostbite while evading the local law enforcement. If you can manage 'to' down a Sourtoe Cocktail (and “kiss” the toe which bobs around in your glass) you will walk away with a little extra swagger—and a certificate commemorating the achievement. Who is ready 'to' try it?

The Moss Lady

If you’ve got in the car and they’ve seen the Disney flick Moana, they’ll be doubly enchanted with Victoria’s “moss lady.” Artist Dale Doebert’s 35-foot-long sculpture of a dozing figure looks as though it could rise from the earth at any moment, just like Te Fiti in the film. You will find this lovely lady in Beacon Hill Park, Victoria, British Columbia.

The World's Largest Easter Eggs

The Vegreville Pysanka was built in 1975 as a tribute 'to' the early Ukrainian settlements east of Edmonton. With a claim to fame as “the world’s largest Easter egg,” this roadside attraction in Vegreville, Alberta is a true marvel of design, its patterns containing 3,512 facets, 2,206 equilateral triangles and 524 star shapes.

Ghostown Blues B&B

If you’ve ever imagined yourself starring in a western, you’ll be tempted 'to' turn this pitstop in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, into an overnight stay. At the Ghostown Blues B&B, you’ll get the full cowboy experience, from eating your dinner out of the back of a covered wagon, 'to' sleeping under the stars.

The World’s Largest Lumberjack

In Ontario’s Algonquin Highlands, Sawyer the lumberjack, at 14 feet high, stands head and shoulders above the competition. You’ll find this charming roadside attraction outside the Stanhope Heritage Discovery Museum, where it pays homage 'to' the region’s rich logging history.

Magnetic Hill

Drive 'to' the bottom of this world-famous hill, in Moncton, New Brunswick, shift into neutral and then brace yourself as your car starts rolling uphill. It’s a gravitational mystery you’ll have 'to' see—and feel—'to' believe.

 Sure lets do to the Ghostown Blues B&B and avoid the Sourdough Saloon
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

 I am more than ready for a road trip. And any day in Canada is a good day.

However, USA's criminally incompetent COVID response has made us social lepers across the planet. So I await happier times before I can resume my globetrotting.

My country certainly is a beautiful place to explore. There are restrictions from one coast to the other. Sadly, for an indefinite period of time, won't be going anywhere here or globally

I understand how you are feeling. Someday, things will change. I too am happy to just stay put.

If I had to bet, that is the one I imagined you picking . Watching the Toronto Blue Jays intra-squad game. Kind of weird, but at least baseball is back!

 All were interesting - the human toe in a drink sounds like an episode of "Fear Factor" ... been binging on this ... and felt the need to hug the "porcelain goddess" several times ... LOL ... hope you are having an awesome day!

Lol, you are right, it kind of does. I don’t know how they came up with stuff on that show...who would taste test it?

 There's no way I'm drinking anything with a toe in it. I've seen the BC tours that take you out in a boat to watch the humpback whales, I'd like to see that.

Lance Skiiiwalker - "Attraction"

She said I clap my hands, walk my feet
It's freedom
She said we'll slide into the rhythm of this beat
It's freedom, oh
Well, if you feel the same attraction, baby, choose
Hey, you're in for satisfaction, baby, choose
She said I smack my lips by default
No reason, da, da, da, da, da
She said I sway my hips as I walk
It's freezing, oh

I haven’t done either and would definitely pick whales over toes! Have you heard about ‘kids the cod’, a tradition in Newfoundland when you are introduced to the local drink called Screech?

You know I love sharing information about my country. There are many more ‘quirky’ and interesting stops from coast-to-coast. Thanks for the great song choice!

It’s supposed to be an unique experience! Of course there are many more interesting and unique places. If you look at the trip pics on my profile, there’s the world’s biggest lobster!
