These crop up in other threads from time to time, but I don't think we've got a dedicated one, so this is a thread for peculiar or just spectacularly disappointing tourist attractions.
To kick off, I'm intrigued by Collectors World (sic), Apparently "A highly popular tourist attraction in Norfolk", featuring the Magical Dickens Experience ("Do you like Dickens?" "I've never been to one", etc), an an old cobblers shop (could they have phrased that better, or are they just being honest?) and the fantastically sinister Personality Rooms - just read the line-up!
What an ace place! Anyone been?
Edit - I looked for some reviews online, and the sainted Charlie Brooker mentions it here:

The Sainted Charlie Brooker said:..It consisted of room upon room of bizarre, apparently unrelated artefacts. There was a "Pink Room" dedicated to Barbara Cartland, a telephone museum, a collection of antique cars, some sort of hideous-sounding "gynaecological chair", and best of all, a hall filled solely with memorabilia relating to the actor Liza Goddard, which apparently included pullovers and a mug she'd once drunk out of. Exhilarating and frightening in equal measure, I'd imagine, especially if you're Liza Goddard yourself.
I've just got to go!!
