Many families are planning their vacations now since school is out. Instead of spending a pretty penny on your trip this summer, why not stay a bit closer to home?

There are quite a number of remarkable spots all over the state. From natural wonders to man-made creations, the Hawkeye State has unique locations that are straight out of travel magazines.

We all know the big ones; like the state's largest frying pan and even the Field of Dreams in Dyersville.

Iowa is also the home of one of the most crooked roads in the entire world. Located in a town called Burlington Snake Alley consists of 275 feet of curves all along the road and five half-curve turns and two-quarter turns.

It was constructed in 1894 to help connect the residential district at the very top to the commercial district, according to TripAdvisor.
