You can’t call it a road trip if there’s no quirky attraction along the way. Chick Norris is just that, a weird and fun pit stop along I-35.

The world’s first Batwing Gas Station is one of the sights along I-35 that merits a stop. Batwing gas stations were famous for adopting futuristic design concepts. These gas stations featured a triangular-based layout and a roof shaped like a slanted canopy that resembled a bat’s wing – hence the name. Built in 1954, this station was not only the c...
Not many roadside attractions along I-35 will make you think you’ve lost your mind and question your vision like the upended 18-wheel truck. Located in Oklahoma, this semi-trailer truck is actually a billboard and juts out of the ground in front of Wilkins Oklahoma Truck Supply. The upended truck has been there since 1988, when Wilkins and his son,...

Is it a bug? Is it a spider? Whatever you call it, the Spider VW Bug is a large-scale reproduction of one of humanity’s deepest fears. Built in 1973, artist Monte Bodine took a VW Beetle, added six pointy legs, painted the eyes (headlights) red, and turned the iconic car into the Spider VW Bug. Today, it has become a landmark in Lexington. A fantas...

- Sioux Empire Medical Museum. I know, learning about the history of medicine doesn’t seem like a fun stop for a road trip. But believe me, the Sioux Empire Medical Museum is a hidden gem.
