Cars Land bursts with hidden little attractions like the
Doc Hudson Museum,
Mater's Petting Zoo, and these wonderful little Geological Info-stations placed along Cross Street. Just like the kind you find at many of our nation's scenic viewpoints, these displays identify what you're looking at.

The best part, and a key to the Cars universe, is learning that -- in this
alternate world -- the Cars modeled themselves after their surroundings. The rocks
don't look like the cars, the cars look like the rocks.
