After sunset, the Stargazing Park delivers a celestial show that will recalibrate your understanding of 'dark sky.' The Mizpah Hotel, rumored to house a friendly ghost called the 'Lady in Red,' provides accommodations with historical flair. For the brave, the quirky Clown Motel displays hundreds of clown figurines while offering surprisingly comfortable rooms.
