Welcome back to The Fun Report! We’ve been on the move again, and the latest adventures are as sweet and strange as ever.

Oh, and did we mention a trip to what might just be America’s weirdest attraction? Let’s dive into the highlights from our latest travels!

 šŸ­ Back to Minnesota’s Largest Candy Store

We went back to Minnesota’s Largest Candy Store, this time with one mission: try everything we could get our hands on and rate it all in our newest video! From international treats and old-school favorites to bacon soda and bug candy (yes, really), we pushed our taste buds for the sake of sweet, sweet content. Don’t miss our reactions, top picks, and the surprisingly tasty snacks we never saw coming!

Check It Out: Minnesota’s Largest Candy Store in Jordan, MN is more than just candy. With aisles full of global snacks, retro sodas, puzzles, baked goods, and out of this world decor, it’s one of the most unique roadside attractions in the country and a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth.

 šŸ§  Surviving America’s Weirdest Attraction - The Eureka Room

We Experienced The Eureka Room… and We're Still Slightly Confused

Imagine a room that talks to you, cheers you on, and rewards you for hugging a stranger or pretending to be spaghetti. That’s just a taste of what you’ll find at The Eureka Room in Austin, Texas, one of the most delightfully bizarre and unexpectedly joyful attractions we’ve ever visited.

It’s not quite a museum. It’s not a game either. It feels more like stepping into a surreal group experience hosted by your most enthusiastic friend on a sugar rush. You’ll laugh, move, cheer, and maybe even question reality all in the name of immersive fun.

Is it art? Is it silliness? Is it genius? Honestly… maybe all three. But one thing’s for sure, it’s a one-of-a-kind adventure you’ll be talking about long after you leave.

šŸŽ„ See how we fared inside The Eureka Room… watch the full chaos unfold now on our YouTube channel and let us know: would you make it out with your sanity?

āœˆļø Coming Soon: Adventures in Florida

Florida Filming: Backyard Social & Sneak Peeks at What's Coming

We recently wrapped up an exciting filming trip across Florida, capturing some of the state's most innovative and fun-filled attractions for our upcoming videos. One standout stop was Backyard Social in Fort Myers, a vibrant indoor-outdoor venue that perfectly blends games, food, and live entertainment. With offerings like duckpin bowling, shuffleboard, and a variety of food trucks, it's a must-visit spot for groups and families alike.

But the fun doesn't stop there. We also got exclusive previews of two upcoming attractions set to open soon: FastTrax and Do The Beach. While we're keeping the details under wraps for now, we can promise they're shaping up to be exciting additions to Florida's entertainment scene.

We also made a quick stop in New Jersey last month to film at an exciting new spot—keep an eye out for that video dropping very soon!

Stay tuned to our YouTube channel and Facebook page for these upcoming adventures and more!
