HOTELS NEAR The Mystery Spot

Are you looking for hotels near The Mystery Spot?

X Marks the Mystery Spot! This popular attraction is located amongst the equally mysterious redwood forests just outside of Santa Cruz, California. Mystery Spot is given this name because when you visit, you can experience optical illusions and strange gravitational anomalies – but don’t worry, no apples will fall on your head – but you may get some paranormal knowledge dropped on you while you are there.

The Mystery Spot, in all its surreality, was discovered in 1939 by a group of surveyors who said “WTF is wrong with our measuring tools” when they visited the area. Actually, the odd behavior from their equipment was enough to lead to the site becoming an entertaining and mystifying visitors attraction ever since.

What is Mysterious About Mystery Spot

When you head to Mystery Spot, be prepared for these incredible features:

1. The Gravity House – No, not Sir Isaac Newton’s home, but instead this is the main attraction at the Mystery Spot, a tilted cabin that appears to defy the laws of gravity. You can stand at various angles and notice things like water flowing uphill, balls rolling upwards and so forth.

2. The Vortex Area – A circular clearing in the forest will allow you to experience unusual sensations, such as feeling dizzy or disoriented. That’s not a space portal opening up – or is it…

3. The Mystery Tree – Maybe you know of the Giving Tree, well this is the Mystery Tree and it is a redwood tree that appears to grow at a 45-degree angle. This tree does what it wants.

4. The Mystery Spot Gift Shop – There should be no mystery that you want to check out the gift shop while you are there and buy some mystery gifts for your friends and family to prove that you can defy gravity.

5. The Mystery Spot Trail – Don’t wander off just yet, but if you do, you can take a short hike through the redwoods. This trail has many beautiful views of the forest and wildlife in the local area.
