Springfield Tar Pits

The Springfield Tar Pits are a natural landmark of Springfield. Located a few blocks from the Springfield Natural History Museum, they consist of serveral cubic tons of malodorous, gas-emitting black stuff. The tar pits can be visited, and the price of admission includes a free bucket of tar (with a limit of one bucket per capita, although professional roofers and candy machine saboteurs are excluded from the offer). The Tar Pits were also named one of the top "Ant-Free Picninc Sites" by Springfield Magazine.
