I'm not an IndyCar fan, but even I'll admit this place was pretty cool, if you don't mind the steep price for a short tour. If you really want to get your money's worth, take a few spins on the racing simulator - the graphics are a bit dated, but hey, you're sitting in an IndyCar.

The Wellington St Cafe has the best food in Drayton, hands down. They serve breakfast all day, so if you've got an appetite, do yourself a favor and order "Bob's Big Breakfast". The home fries are some of the best I've ever tasted, and they could probably be a meal by themselves. If you're lucky enough to be around when the rhubarb pie is made, be sure to snag a piece - they're made from scratch and out of this world!

If you love movies, especially science fiction movies, you'll lose it in this place. They have special displays all the time (when I visited, the awesome Blade Runner display was still on), and the wall of ray guns throughout film history was amazing in and of itself.

Also.. they have the Queen Alien and the Power Loader from "Aliens" is there. Worth the price of admission (which is cheap!) alone.

One of the greatest ghost tours in the Northeast. Self-guided, and after you sign the waiver, you just go off on your own. Amazing building, and some fun installations. Keep an eye out for the red pipes that mark successful escapes from the prison!

This place is a riot. Drive in church services!

This place is awesome. Quite small and easy to miss, but the shops are wonderfully quirky and the hotel is pretty amazing. Be sure to get a cleansing on the big purple throne, or head to the cemetery to sit in the Devil's Chair.

They have the actual "fountain of youth" here, which is pretty awesome. You can quite literally take a swim in the waters that Deleon thought promised eternal youth.

After 352 geese decided to take a migration break in this pit, they all died. The mining company tried to tell everyone it wasn't their fault, but then they discovered that if anyone actually drank from this water their digestive systems would corrode right out...
