North Carolina roadside attractions represent the playful and eclectic urge in each of us. Mostly quirky, but occasionally deep, these oddities can be found throughout the state. You find yourself surprised at the creativity and imagination of some of the more obscure items.
This list will expand over time as we visit more and more of the state but for now we are primarily focused on the eastern portion of the state. We’ve split our list of North Carolina Roadside Attractions into six categories for easier access. Hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
