What tourist traps have you visited?

How about also listing foreign tourist traps you've visited?

San Fracisco pier 39 july 5th.Oh....my...God. talk about claustrophobia

Eiffel tower elevators

The Madonna Inn (we stayed there), Disney World (never again), South of the Border (OK, we were headed to Florida, but for years always drove on by) Wall Drug (besides the Badlands and Mt Rushmore, what else is there to do in South Dakota unless you're fucking the governor), and the Ava Gardner Museum in Smithfield, NC which in a little over a month will be home to AvaFest, the final event marking her one hundreth birthday.

Juliet's Balcony in Verona. Not my choice to go there.

Guy Lombardo Museum in London, Ontario.

Las Vegas strip

Graceland

Plymouth Rock. It's just a small stupid rock with a fence around it!

Liberty Bell

I'm listing these with no derision whatsoever, but with knowledge that while some of these are amazing and beautiful and stunning, they are *still* tourist traps:

London Tower Bridge, West End, Chunnel from London to Paris, the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Siena, Times Square, Niagara Falls, CN Tower, Disney World, Universal Studios Orlando, Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, Cirque du Soleil (multiple times in multiple locations), Bourbon Street, Graceland, largest McDonalds in the world (spans the interstate highway/Will Rogers Turnpike in Oklahoma), Carlsbad Caverns, Grand Canyon, Glacier National Park, Algonquin Provincial Park, Corning Museum, Mammoth Mountain, Lake Tahoe, Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito, (all the associated tourist traps in SF - I lived there for a few years), Pike Place Market, Forks(!!), San Juan Islands, Honolulu, Diamond Head Kauai, Waimea Canyon, Hilo, Yosemite National Park, Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park (now called something else), Sequoia and Redwood National Parks, Catalina, Downtown San Diego, Miramar Naval Air Station, Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Greek Theater/Hollywood Bowl in LA, Walk of Fame, Hollywood, Las Vegas Strip, the Mystery Spot, Universal Studios Hollywood, Plimouth Plantation, Faneuil Hall, Fenway Park, Boston Common, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Anchorage, AK, Tijuana, Continental Divide/New Mexico.

Those are the ones I can remember right now. It's kind of a good exercise for me to realize even though I haven't traveled in awhile, I have done a lot.

Wisconsin Dells and Branson

R12 I was just about to post the Dells. OMG. It beggars belief that it's a destination of any kind, other than a place to end your life.

[quote]South of the Border (OK, we were headed to Florida, but for years always drove on by)

Did you at least get a complimentary welcome blowjob from one of their two US Senators?

Wisconsin Dells = Myrtle Beach = Branson = Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge

Watching the sun go down in Oia. There are much better sunset spots on Santorini (which you don't have to share with thousands of other annoying people).

Space Needle in Seattle, Niagara Falls, Gatlinburg, Frankenmuth and Mackinac Island. Sears Tower in Chicago. Now it’s called some thing else.

I was guilted into driving my ageing neighbor to Noah's Ark. Looneyville.

Graceland.

You enter the Ark Encounter through a rainbow. Wonder how many "Christians" complained that it was gay, not remembering the significance of the rainbow to the salvation of mankind ( according to them).

To add to r12 and r15, if you’ve ever been to Orlando, but not Wisconsin Dells, you’ve been to both.

Orlando is WD on steroids.

The Desert of Maine

I go out of my way to visit cheesy tourist traps.
