Jolly Green Giant Statue
Fifty-five and a half feet of green fiberglass giant, smiling next to I-90 in Blue Earth. The original Green Giant cannery was just up the road. The little visitor center has a small museum and free coffee. Five minutes off the highway. Photogenic. The kids will want to stand on his shoe.

SPAM Museum
A surprisingly excellent museum about canned meat. Free admission, free samples, interactive exhibits where you 'pack a can,' kids' scavenger hunt. Half an hour kills before the next leg of I-90, and you walk out knowing more than you wanted about Hormel. Worth it for the gift shop alone (SPAM-flavored everything).
