Beware Of These 30 Tourist Traps And Save Yourself From Getting Ripped! (2 of 6)

 

 

St. Ignace Mystery spot, MI

Mystery Spot Michigan, Plant, Tree, Natural landscape, Motor vehicle

Don’t be confused by the name – there isn’t much of a mystery here. For a tour of the Hockey spot – claimed to cause enigmatic happenings such as lightheadedness, adults are charged $9 and the kids $7. This attraction also possesses mini-golf with a zipline, and a maze (of course for some more cost).

 

 

Buffalo Bill Grave and Museum, Golden, CO

Buffalo Bill's Grave, Botany, Plant, Tree, Architecture

Somehow, being here since 1921, it doesn’t mean that this grave is necessarily good. Finding yourself paying $5 for adults just for checking out a sealed bronze casket cased in concrete and further enclosed in a fence to deter theft – there isn’t much there to see, folks!

 

 

Area 51 Alien Travel Centre, Amargosa Valley, NV

Amargosa Valley, Sky, Car, Vehicle, Wheel

Along the highway of the Extraterrestrials, or Highway 95 out of Vegas, you’ll come across this strange place masquerading as a travel center. This complex has a gas station with an alien theme, a souvenir shop (for those alien jerkies of you), tattoo parlors, (buckle up) and a brothel! A firework warehouse, as if the warning was not enough, also exits next door.

 

 

O.K, Corral, Tombstone, AZ

O.k. Corral, Cloud, Sky, Daytime, Window, Building

If you’re not already cringed by the name, Tombstone, Arizona is here with its sleazy reenactments of Wild West to make sure you turn away soon. Paying a fee of $10, you could confront a fake gunfight shootout lasting 30 seconds at O.K Corral, which was a horse corral and livery somewhere around the later part of the 19th century. It has even been debated upon by the Chamber of Commerce of Tombstone if it is a trap.

 

 

Crater of Diamonds, Murfreesboro, AR

Crater Of Diamonds, Sky, Ecoregion, Tree, Land lot

Tourists are allowed to dig themselves for gemstones at this state park, but when viewed actually, this is but a dirt field spreading across 37 acres where people’s blind searches for treasure goes on since 1906. The chances of finding anything are impossible, but a new wave of hope swept across when in 2019, a schoolteacher luckily found a 3-carat diamond here. Considering the odds, it still is not worth the 5 hour trip from the town of Little Rock plus the $10 fees to enter the mine.
