Northern Alabama's Cathedral Caverns State Park is notable for many reasons, but in particular, its world-record entrance opening at the mouth of the cave system is a sight you need to see for yourself. Besides tours, visitors can hike and backpack throughout the area, mine for gemstones, or camp overnight at one of the many campsites.

This state park in Arkansas has a unique draw—yes, you really can find diamonds here. Somebody finds one just often enough to remind people that the park is here, and that the diamonds aren't all gone. Located near Murfreesboro, Arkansas, the park also holds lesser pieces of geological curiosity, as well.
Now, you’re going to have to put in some hard work if you want to strike it rich here—those diamonds aren’t going to dig up themselves, after all! However, a significant diamond has been found in the park almost every year since 2006, so it’s not completely out of the realm of possibility that you find a nice one!

Arguably the most famous skiing region in Colorado, Aspen and its sister town, Snowmass Village, are home to four different mountains. While Aspen is usually associated with the rich and famous, the town offers shopping and dining opportunities for travelers of every budget. It has a lot more to offer than you might realize!
That being said, the luxury hotels are still impressive, and they might be worth staying at if you can afford the outrageous prices.

Florida is such a tourist magnet with so many things to do, that it’s almost like the entire state is just one big destination! From Disney World to the hottest Miami nightclubs, you won’t be bored in The Sunshine State! However, our vote for the coolest Florida attraction is the Kennedy Space Center.
If you time your vacation right, you might actually get to see a shuttle launch, but even if that’s not the case, the Kennedy Center has plenty of interesting history and attractions to explore. In addition to daily talks from real astronauts, the center has everything from simulated rocket launches to space-themed playgrounds for the kiddos.
First opened in 2005, the Georgia Aquarium has earned the title of hosting the highest number of marine creatures of any aquarium in the U.S. It’s an amazing place to visit with the family when you’re looking for a stop that pairs education and fun. There are six different galleries within the aquarium, which house everything from dolphins and whale sharks to sea lions and otters.

There are museum exhibits about the war to take in before a boat trip out to the memorial itself, which straddles the sunken remains of the ship.
While this is not necessarily the most fun outing you could have in Hawaii, it does give you the opportunity to explore one of the most important moments in American history. But remember—daily spaces are limited for the memorial, so you may want to make your reservations several weeks in advance.
In 1912, the entire Moore family and two houseguests were unalived in this Villisca home. The scene was so brutal that they bumped the sinking of the Titanic from the front page of many newspapers. You can now visit the house, which is considered to be one of the most haunted places in the United States.
This is definitely not a destination for the kiddos, but if you’ve got a major true crime fan in your life, this spooky spot is one you don’t want to miss. Tours of the house run for most the year, but you can also arrange to spend the night in the house…if you’re brave enough!
Boise River Park is a city park in Boise where the river has been fitted with two state-of-the-art waveshapers that make waves between 20 and 25 feet tall, allowing people to surf and kayak, or whatever you want really. Jetties on both sides of the river guide you in, and an expansion is currently underway. There's even a surf company or two in town to help you get started.
White water rafting in the middle of a city might seem like an odd choice, and if you’re an experienced rafter and thrill seeker, this probably will seem a bit tame to you. However, for folks who have never done it before but are ready to take the plunge, the Boise River Park might be the perfect spot to try it for the first time!

It’s a convenient, glamorous, and inexpensive way to get to know the city, as the streetcar passes through the French Quarter and many other parts of New Orleans.
Pass through St. Charles and Carrollton avenues, which are symbolic of New Orleans’s romance and charm.

You can also pass through the Central Business District, City Park, and the New Orleans Museum of Art.
Plymouth is the epicenter of United States history. This is where the Mayflower, the ship that carried the Pilgrims to the New World, landed. They left from Plymouth, England, so they must've been homesick or out of ideas for names by the time they landed. And if you find yourself in Massachusetts, you can experience this history for yourself.
Plymouth holds a full-scale replica of the original Mayflower and seeing the ship's small size gives a tangible sense of the hardship those 102 people faced during the 10-week voyage. However, the park is only open from April to November, so plan accordingly if this is a must-visit for you.
At one point, Annapolis was the capital of the United States. The brick sidewalks saw the footsteps of Washington and Jefferson, and four signers of the Declaration of Independence had their homes right here among the rest of the gorgeous 17th- and 18th-century architecture. There's also a gorgeous waterfront, including a canal called "ego alley" where you can watch boats sail by just to show off.
However, historic Annapolis is much more than just American history. It’s also a great place to grab a bite to eat, especially if you’re in the mood for seafood. Plus, there are a ton of boutiques and other stores along Main Street to find the perfect souvenir for your trip.
When many people think about Maine, they think about the abundance of seafood around the state.

It’s a must-visit for some great food!
However, Commercial Street is more than just its world-famous seafood. There are also plenty of clubs if you’re interested in nightlife as well as walking trails to take in the sights and learn a little bit more about the city. You won’t find a place like this anywhere else in Maine…or the United States!
The Upper Peninsula is definitely part of Michigan, but it's got a strong culture all its own. From the prevalent logging industry to a strong Finnish heritage, U.P. has such a strong sense of identity that a statehood initiative floats around every couple of decades or so.
There's plenty to do here, from skiing to hiking to Mackinac Island's Grand Hotel, and the peninsula was named as one of ShermanTravel's top 10 destinations in the world. Mackinac Island may be a small community, but you’ll be surprised at just how much this tiny island has to offer.
There’s nothing more American than a shopping mall, and there’s not a better one in the country than the Mall of America. It may sound a little corny and cliche, but if you find yourself in Bloomington, this is one stop you don’t want to miss! There’s a lot more to do there than you might expect.
Almost a city unto itself, the Mall employs over 11,000 people, hosts 40 million visitors every year, and boasts 8 acres of skylights. The gigantic monument to commerce also boasts a 1.2 million-gallon aquarium and its own theme park. You could lay 258 Statues of Liberty inside the mall—though it would make it a little harder to get from Macy's to Sears.
If you’re looking for an old-fashioned fun time, you’re definitely going to want to make a stop in Branson, Missouri. Located near the Arkansas-Missouri border, Branson may be home to only 12,000 people, but it absolutely packed with theaters, shopping, and so much more that makes it a tourist paradise.
You’ll definitely want to catch a show while you’re there, but let’s just hope you like country music and oldies because that’s mainly what’s on offer. It’s also worth taking a small trip out of the city limits to explore Silver Dollar City, a pioneer-themed amusement park that brings in thousands of visitors a year.
The Mississippi Museum of Natural Sciences is located within LeFleur’s Bluff State Park and aims to teach visitors about the area’s natural history.

Although they were unaware of it, Lewis and Clark camped near these caverns on their expedition across the United States. Ranchers discovered the caves near the end of the 19th century and began giving public tours shortly thereafter. Today, Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park is a great site for camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
Despite all the visitors, the caverns are still home to hundreds of western big-eared bats that use the caves to birth and raise their young. If you happen to be a little batty yourself, you’ll definitely want to come during August when the caves annually celebrate Bat Week.

Many notable monuments stand in the garden, including the Peace Towers, one on U.S. soil and the other on Canadian.
While on the grounds of the garden, visitors can do something most other Americans and Canadians can’t—move freely between the border of the United States and Canada. However, all visitors do have to go through customs after leaving the garden, no matter which country they are returning to.
You have to see this place to truly believe it. In the 1980s, Jim Reinders built a replica of the famed Stonehenge, but instead of stone he used spray-painted classic automobiles. As a symbol of national pride, all of the cars included in the Carhenge exhibit were manufactured by American companies.
As cool as Carhenge itself may be, you should be warned that it’s basically the only tourist attraction in the area. While you should be able to find housing accommodations in the nearby town of Alliance, NE, don’t expect much in terms of other entertainment.
When you get passed by a car with a bumper sticker that reads “This car climbed Mt. Washington,” it's referring to this road. The Mount Washington Auto Road stretches to a height of 6,145 feet, making the ascent difficult for many vehicles to accomplish. For cars that do finish the journey, breathtakingly expansive views await as a reward.
If you’re not confident enough in your driving skills to brave the drive yourself—don’t worry, you’re still in luck! There are guided van tours available to be scheduled. However, bike enthusiasts are out of luck, as they aren’t allowed on the road except during certain special events, like the Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb.

Is anyone really surprised that Las Vegas is the place to be in Nevada? While Las Vegas may be the butt of many people’s jokes, visitors keep flocking to the bright lights of Sin City because the temptation of winning big at the tables is just too powerful to resist!
However, there’s much more to do in Las Vegas than just lose your shirt gambling the night away. You could also take in a show or two (or three) because Vegas is home to some of the highest-class entertainment in the world. And, if you get sick of all the hustle and bustle, you can be surrounded by gorgeous desert views with just one short road trip outside the city limits.
The Empire State building is a New York City icon. From the times of its construction during the Great Depression, it has been a symbol of the greatest of American engineering and ingenuity. Located on Fifth Avenue between 33rd and 34th Streets, the building rises approximately one-quarter mile above fashionable Fifth Avenue and the business district on 6th Avenue.

During the day, it is probably best to arrive early, pick up tickets, and take a late morning tour. The afternoons are the heavier times for long tour waits, ticket queues, and crowds.

You may think if you’ve seen one zoo you’ve seen them all, but that’s not the case in Cincinnati!
Lake Hefner’s gentle waters make it ideal for kayaking and paddle boarding. Although you cannot swim in the lake because it is a local water source, you are able to fish. The entire surrounding area, which has about 10 miles of paved trails, is a popular running, walking, and cycling area.
You can also dine in style at Red Rock Canyon Grill, which is located in East Wharf, off Lake Hefner Parkway, with a view of the sunset from the city’s only lighthouse. The picnic spots and playgrounds are free, however fishing from the shore requires a city fishing permit.
As an anonymous traveler once said, “When they were choosing the Seven Wonders of the World, they must not have made it to Oregon.” Caused by an ancient glacier, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the Western hemisphere. Seen by many as a sacred place, the crystalline waters and surrounding forest make for gorgeous views.
This is definitely one spot in the United States that you don’t want to miss if you’re big into fishing. The lake was first stocked with non-native fish in 1888, which continued for decades. That means, these days, you can fish here without a license or limit on the number of fish you can catch.

In addition to guided tours of the battlefield, the Gettysburg Museum and Visitor Center also host several annual special events in the park. In addition to Civil War history, you can also learn about President Dwight Eisenhower, as his ancestral home and farm are also on the grounds.

The orchard contains sixteen varieties of apples, including Macoun, Honeycrisp, and Rhode Island Greening. Also, Pippin Orchard has a massive celebration for Columbus Day every October.

Badlands National Park inarguably has one of the best and toughest-sounding names of all time.

However, it has more than beauty—it’s also one of the largest fossil deposits in the world.
Ancient horses, rhinos, and saber-toothed cats once roamed the park, but today you can find big-horned sheep, bison, prairie dogs, and black-footed ferrets scampering around instead—although a few of the ancient animals have stuck around as fossils in the park’s museum!

Ben came up with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream because he can't actually taste, so he values texture in his ice cream. And you can see all the behind-the-scenes ice cream secrets for yourself with a factory tour!
The factory tour includes a guided walk-through with a little bit of free sampling at the end, a history of the company's almost comically tragic early years, and a view of the flavor graveyard where the retired flavors of the past are laid to rest. It’s the sweetest tourist destination in the USA!
Inspired by the Norwegian folk tale Three Billy Goats Gruff, the Fremont Troll is a beloved sculpture under the George Washington Memorial Bridge in Seattle. Artists Steve Badanes, Will Martin, Donna Walter, and Ross Whitehead built the Fremont Troll in the hopes that visitors and locals would interact with the sculpture, as well as add interest to an otherwise lackluster and often unused space.
Citizens of Fremont have come to love the bizarre sculpture over the years—so much so that they even named a nearby street “Troll Avenue.” This may be one of the weirdest tourist destinations in the United States, but it’s one you’re going to want to see with your own eyes!
Sports fans all over the world are intense, but you would have a hard time finding people who are more serious about a team than Green Bay Packers fans.

Wyoming might seem like a no-frills kind of state, but that couldn’t be further from the truth when it comes to the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Despite its out-of-the-way location, it’s one of the most popular, and, more importantly, most expensive ski resorts in the country.
