carhenge

Signs all over tell you to stop, so go ahead and plan on it. Just saw somewhere that it was in the top 1,000 things that you should see, and this is one found in Nebraska. It is just what you see, Stonehenge made from cars. Great place to to stretch your legs and mark down that you've see it in Nebraska!

I have paid attention to unusual roadside attractions over the years, but honestly have not been on enough road trips to really take it all in. I had heard about Carhenge in the past but just sort of forgot about it.I recently went on an impromptu weekend road trip to South Dakota and on a whim drove back through Nebraska on the way back to Denver. The plan was just to drive through, but luckily at one point saw a sign for Carhenge. I instantly got excited and quickly looked it up to see where it was. Sure enough it was on the way we were going, just slightly off route.Carhenge is a weird roadside attraction in which cars have been build up to look like Stonehenge. It is located just outside of Alliance, NE in the middle of farmland. If you are interested in weird sights like this and happen to be in the area, it is definitely worth a look.The attraction is free so you can't beat that. I would just say don't go far out of your way just for this, but worth it if you're relatively close.

This was honestly one of the most fun random things that I have accidentally found! We drove an hour out of our way to see it and it was worth it!

We saw a large sign along a highway advertising it and after reading our travel guide decided it was worth the detour. And it was. I've visited Stonehenge on two occasions and this was a very detailed imitation, including cars sticking out of the ground at angles away from the main monument. There's other bizarre sculptures too, such as a large dinosaur and a shark of sorts. It's a fun site to spend 30 minutes and a nice break if you're travelling through the region.There's a little office/shop that sells drinks and snacks and has bathroom facilities. There you can also read about the reasons for building Carhenge.

Unique, only few miles out of Alliance, no charge. Makes for interesting photos. Parking lot was plowed even after significant snow storm.

Off the beaten track, not easy to get to, but worth the trip. A really cool imitation of Stonehenge, better than Foamhenge. One of the cars is signed by visitors - my name is there! :-)

We were traveling from Dallas, TX and Jackson, Wyoming when we lost the cellular signal for my iPad in Nebraska and got hopelessly lost. (Note to self, download maps to hard drive next time.) We stopped to get directions at a manned rest stop and the attendant suggested we detour over to Alliance to see Carhnenge. I am SO glad we did! The the site is impressive, not just the Carhenge part, the other sculptures are whimsical and fun to view as well. Make sure you walk the grounds to appreciate the quirkiness of the place.

My wife and I briefly stopped at Carhenge in March. It was officially closed but the owners were there getting the place ready to open later in the spring, and they cheerfully let roam the grounds for 20 minutes. I loved the back story of how it was created, the local opposition, and finally acceptance. It's a bit of fun that to me symbolizes American ingenuity, creativity, determination and individualism. Visiting Carhenge won't change your life, but it is a piece of quirky fun.

Some trade in their old cars for a newer model. Others paint them gray and try to replicate England's Stonehenge. Go figure!This place is the brain child of the son of a Nebraskan rancher, who went to England, studied Art & Stonehenge and came back decided to replicate it. He gathered family members, armed them with tools, beer and spray paint, and off they went to create Art. The result is interesting, if nothing else. Is it art? I am not to judge it, I don't particularly like or understand modern art. Is it funky? Perhaps. But I cannot stop thinking of the waste. All vintage American cars, all thirty nine of them! By the way, when you are done waking around and taking pictures, you might want to stop for a bite at Ken & Dales, food is ok, prices more than that and service friendly (separate review)

This is an exact replica of Stonehenge but then made out of cars. Not far from the main road so it's a good place to stop your drive and have a little wonder around. Take care, very warm in the summer and not much shade.Small shop that sells the usual tourist items and drinks. Very nice people though.

If you are already driving to or from Mt. Rushmore or WY then you should stop. It has Carhenge a bunch of other car art pieces. The staff is friendly and the bathrooms clean. It is one of those places that most people are glad they experienced but other will call it a waste of time. Four out of five of us thought it was great.

Having just returned from the real Stonehenge we just had to make this stop as we wandered through rural Nebraska. Very good rendition of a cultural icon using classic autos. Nice friendly staff and fun gift shop. Definitely worth the few extra mile detour as you travel I-80.

If you're into quirky, weird, or wacky, then Carhenge is a must-see! I stopped years ago on my way to Mt Rushmore, and wasn't disappointed in the off-beat steel structures. Stop there on your way to The World's Largest Ball of Twine in Cawker City, KS!! Who needs the normal tourist traps when you've got places like these to go? **I actually visited years ago, but Trip Advisor is making me say it was 12/13.

Great seeing what creative Nebraskans get up to when they have time on their hands. Been twice and would go again. You either like quirky artwork in the middle of nowhere (no offense, Alliance) or you don't. If so, go and prepare to be delighted. If not, don't go.

It's an American classic. Absolutely worth the detour; and if you come in the evening in moonlight ...One of the (unexpected) highlights on a cross-country drive.
