Arizona is no stranger to the weird and whacky.

From the creepy critters to the head-spinning summer temperatures , the Grand Canyon State has embraced the things that make it unique.

World Atlas, a geography and travel publication , released a list of the strangest Arizona landmarks. These "more strange and overlooked attractions hold some of the most memorable sights and experiences," World Atlas noted.

From Arizona's second biggest hole in the ground to a heavenly Sedona church, here are the 10 most unique landmarks in Arizona, as selected by World Atlas, and how to see each one.

Meteor Crater near Winslow



A meteorite that weighed several hundred thousand tons struck outside of Flagstaff more than 50,000 years ago, leaving behind a well-preserved crater. Visitors can take in the awe-inspiring impact and learn more about space.

"This mesmerizing landmark has a way of making visitors reflect on the astounding power of the meteor that shaped it," World Atlas writes.

Horseshoe Bend near Page



Horseshoe Bend is an iconic Arizona site, giving those who make the 1.5-mile roundtrip walk a completely new perspective of the Colorado River.

"Viewed from a high cliffside perch 1,000 feet above the water, the Colorado River wraps around a craggy sandstone formation in a swooping embrace," Arizona travel expert Roger Naylor writes . "For a moment, the emerald green river seems to hold its breath."

Details: The parking lot is located off US Highway 89, about 5 miles south of the Carl Hayden Visitor Center. 928-645-8861, cityofpage.org .

London Bridge in Lake Havasu City



Lake Havasu City is perhaps best known for the London Bridge , which was purchased for $2.4 million by McCulloch in 1968 and transported from London, England when they replaced the bridge that year. It then took three years to complete the reconstruction of the bridge across the narrow Bridgewater Channel between Lake Havasu and Thompson Bay.

The bridge connects pedestrians, motorists and cyclists on "mainland" Lake Havasu City to an island with shops, restaurants, hotels and more.

Gov. George W.P. Hunt's Tomb in Phoenix



If you've ever visited the Phoenix Zoo , you might have noticed the gleaming white pyramid perched on a hill at the edge of the zoo's desert animals exhibit.

That pyramid marks the burial site of notable Arizonan George W.P. Hunt , who was the Grand Canyon State's first governor and served seven terms in office.

Details: 625 N. Galvin Parkway, Phoenix.

Tovrea Castle in Phoenix



Located on Van Buren Street just west of Loop 202, Tovrea Castle is a Phoenix landmark initially built as a resort destination — a plan that was never completed. The castle later ended up being a personal residence.

Decades later, the building was purchased and renovated, opening to the public in 2012. The castle is on the National Register of Historic Places and was named a Phoenix Point of Pride and an Arizona Centennial Legacy Project.

Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona



Among the majestic red rock cliffs of Sedona sits a special church. The Chapel of the Holy Cross's unique design places it on the edge of the cliffs, making the cross that is central to the design part of the beautiful landscape.

Visitors to the temple can see relics of the Catholic church and look out on the Verde Valley from the chapel's one-of-a-kind perspective.

Giganticus Headicus in Kingman



This Route 66 sculpture is one of the weirdest roadside attractions in Arizona. Artist Gregg Arnold in 2003-2004 made the 14-foot-tall tiki-style sculpture of the green head. The sculpture is at the Antares Point Visitor Center, where visitors can explore local art and souvenirs.

This uniquely Arizona roadside attraction was named among the top 10 weirdest things to do in Arizona . World Atlas noted that "very few regret making the stop" to see the odd sculpture.

Details: 9855 Route 66, northeast of Kingman. antaresvisitorcenter.com .

Pumpkin Spring in the Grand Canyon



This Grand Canyon landmark was created by a geothermal mineral spring . The round shape and orange color of the natural bowl inspired its name. However, this landmark can only be reached by traveling the Colorado River and is only for viewing because of the chemicals in the water.

Burros in Oatman



This Western town in northwest Arizona is overrun by burros descended from the pack animals miners brought to the area during the 1800s. The burros are as much a tourist attraction as the city's historic buildings, shops and staged gunfights.
