America's Top 10 Tourist Attractions

Forbes Magazine recently announced its list of America’s Top Ten Most Popular Tourist Attractions.

I know that the phrase “tourist attraction” can be a turn off to many people, but don’t let that label get in the way.  These are some sights worth seeing.

New York New York on the Las Vegas Strip

Here’s the list:

1. Times Square – New York City
2. Las Vegas Strip – Las Vegas, Nevada
3. National Mall & Memorial Parks – Washington DC
4. Faneuil Hall – Boston, Massachusetts
5. Disney World’s Magic Kingdom – Buena Vista, Florida
6. Disneyland Park – Anaheim, California
7. Fisherman’s Wharf/Golden Gate National Recreation Area – San Francisco, California
8. Niagara Falls – New York
9. Great Smoky Mountains National Park – Tennessee and North Carolina
10. Navy Pier – Chicago, Illinois

I’ve been to nine of the destinations on the list, although officially I was on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.  Same falls, different perspective and country, so I’m counting it.

The only attraction on the list that I haven’t been to is the Great Smoky Mountains.  I haven’t traveled much in the south, so have missed many of the great spots in that part of the country.

How many of these attractions have you seen?
