There's one thing Maine has in common with China, Slovakia and Thailand, and it's not a fondness for L.L. Bean hip waders. All four are home to bridges that have observatories at their tops. The Penobscot Narrows Bridge, which connects the towns of Prospect and Verona Island, is the only such structure in the Western Hemisphere and the tallest in the world.

Admission: $5
