A genuinely bizarre 1,100-ton coral-rock sculpture garden carved single-handedly by one eccentric man, Ed Leedskalnin, using tools and methods still debated today. The engineering mystery and the nine-ton swinging gate make it a memorable oddity. It's small and you can see it all in under an hour, and it's a solid 45-minminute drive south of the city, so weigh the trek against the ticket price.
