Colorado is a weird state, so it only makes sense that we have some equally strange and quirky attractions! While there are many to go around, there is one, in particular, that stands out from the rest, which is this kinetic sculpture park that is one of the quirkiest places in Colorado:

Hiding out in Colorado Springs, Starr Kempf's Kinetic Sculptures are the product of the late Starr Kempf, a sculptor and architect who specialized in giant steel wind sculptures.

While the artist tragically took his own life in 1995, many of his works can still be seen on the front lawn of his former home.
