Unless you’re feral, peeing in bathrooms is a mundane task. But pee in one of these crazy bathrooms, and it becomes a fantastical adventure!

But that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate a good bathroom. And it’s nice to turn a mundane daily activity into something interesting (without getting arrested). And peeing into the gaping mouth of an alligator, or while people walk by inches away oblivious to what we’re doing, or while watching Goldfinger in a bathroom seemingly made out of gold definitely qualify as interesting.
And you can do all of those things in at least one of these bizarre bathrooms. Just be sure to wash your hands after you’re done.
The urinals at the Sofitel Queenstown Hotel and Spa are overseen by life-size photos of women holding stuff like a digital camera, magnifying glass — real funny, lady! — and measuring tape. Other women simply look on as though they’re either impressed or horrified. We’ll just go with impressed.
Controversy erupted when the Rosenmeer Hotel in Germany unveiled its new restroom — and we can certainly understand why. The garish checkered background totally clashes with the classy, understated urinals.
The National Park Service hated people voluntarily adding to Lake Powell’s water levels, so they installed floating bathrooms to minimize contamination. For the fishes’ sakes, we hope it isn’t glass bottomed.
Best Western The Croft | Darlington, United KingdomWe’d opt to go for the distance record juuuuust in case we possess the fabled Magic Stream prophesied to reanimate the gargoyles. They look kinda hungry.
The UriLift Triple, a pop-up hydraulic urinal shaped like the escape pods fromSpaceballs, not only keeps boozers from literally flooding the streets and sidewalks after last call, but also serves as an excuse to drop Dark Helmet’s, “I see your Schwartz is as big as mine!” quote.
We’re not so much interested in blowing a ton of dough to eat at Gold, the spendy restaurant where this bathroom resides, as we are in commandeering the bathroom so we can pretend to be Superman in his Fortress of Solitude. (And yes, the plasma screens inside each stall do, in fact, play Goldfinger on a loop.)
