Hello, and Happy Friday to Y’all!
Thanks so much for joining me for the 5th ‘Fascinating Friday!’ Last week we had a look at 5 Sites on Earth that Will Leave you Breathless! We travelled to the Netherlands, Wyoming, Vietnam, Madagascar, and Nevada!
This week, though, we are looking at 5 unusual and incredible structures!! Today we travel to Ohio, Missouri, Florida, Belgium, and Mexico! I had a lot of fun making this post for you, so I hope you enjoy!
Here we go!Β π
#1 The Basket Building, Ohio
The building was built in 1997 and was the head office of The Longaberger Basket Company.
But recently, Coon Restoration purchased the seven-story, 180,000-square-foot building for $1.2 million. It hopes toΒ preserve and renovate the building and put it back into use.
A view inside of the 7-story building!
Could you imagine working there? It would be so cool.Β π
An aerial view!
#2 Kansas City Public Library, Missouri
The exterior of the library is the coolest part!
Recognize any of the book titles?
A shot of inside the library!
Walk through a book!
This is a place that would be really cool to visit, especially if you love books!
#3 WonderWorks, Florida (Orlando)
WonderWorks Orlando is an attraction with 100+ hands-on science exhibits plus laser tag, a ropes course & a 6D motion ride.
A view of insideΒ the building, notice how everything is upside-down!
The 4D XD Motion Theatre!
Laser Tag!
WonderWorks has attractions in Orlando, FL, Pigeon Forge, TN, Panama City Beach, FL, Myrtle Beach, SC, Syracuse, NY and West Nyack, NY.
#4 Atomium, Belgium
The Atomium in Brussels depicts nineΒ ironΒ atoms in the shape of the body-centred cubicΒ unit cellΒ of an ironΒ crystal, magnified 165 billion times.
Up close to one of the atoms!
Inside of the Atomium!
You can explore the whole structure!

#5 Nautilus House, Mexico
TheΒ Nautilus houseΒ located nearΒ MexicoΒ City is a unique shell shaped house designed byΒ MexicanΒ architect Javier Senosiain.
A shot of the interior! Check out the architecture!
Check out the coloured tiles!
I love that table! So unique, and so cool!
Imagine sitting there! It is so exotic! The seats actually lookΒ rather uncomfortable.Β π
Well, there are the 5 unusual and incredible structures! I had no idea these types of places existed! I now feel like boarding a plane and going to visit them all!Β π
I really hope that you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed making it for you! Thanks so much for reading, and have an awesome day!Β π

Woah! What a cool post!
I would totally visit the Kansas City Public Library (books are the best, and a library that looks like books??!! Way awesome.) and the WonderWorks… because who wouldn’t want to walk into an upside-down building that looks like it will fall on you? lol π jk But seriously, I LOVE laser tag!!!

The library! And I thought MINE was cool, haha. Hey, Brad! I just wanted to say that your blog is awesome, and that I can’t wait to see more of your posts. By the way, I think it’s so cool that you’re into Real Estate-I think it’s super interesting, but every time I try to talk about it, people’s eyes just glaze over…it’s nice to meet someone else who’s into it!
