Oakland CA

Ready for an experience that will have you questioning your senses and laughing out loud? Just outside Santa Cruz, California, tucked among towering redwoods, you’ll find Mystery Spot—a strange and playful roadside attraction where gravity seems to have gone completely haywire. This curious little hillside spot isn’t just a relic of roadside Americana—it’s a place where you can tilt at impossible angles, watch balls roll uphill, and genuinely wonder what’s going on.

Hidden among the star-studded chaos of Hollywood lies a place that leans full-tilt into the macabre: the Museum of Death. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it is a surprisingly illuminating stop for curious minds who can stomach a little darkness with their sightseeing.
