Florida has an impressive number of quirky roadside attractions. It stands to reason, then, that its museums would be just as wonderfully bizarre. In fact, if you head to Ocala, you can observe the largest collection of pink flamingos in the entire world. You won’t find any live animals here, but instead all sorts of items shaped like the quirky pink birds.

The museum was started by Cindy Dunlow, who set the Guinness World Record for the largest pink flamingo-themed collection.
