P.S. I have visited the Adler Planetarium twice (only once by choice), and in spite of my interest in astronomy, it is indeed quite boring. It’s more like a stale old museum, with very little that caught my interest.
Al Gore’s mansion?
I have been to pigeon forge where some of the worst places are. Just write off pigeon forge, period. Dollywood is ok, the island was fun for my son with the multistory zip lines but the rest can suck an egg as they just suck your money badly. I did want to stop at the smoke mountain knife works but the misses did not want me spending the gas money to get home.
I’ve seen the Witch Museum in Salem MA. Admittedly, it was back in the 90s, but I thought it was interesting, not boring.
I have also seen the Hershey museum. I thought it was OK. Maybe I just don’t have high enough expectations for entertainment. I don’t know.
I will say that, for me, the most overpriced and under delivered attraction I have seen is the Winchester mystery House in San Jose California. Big-time waste of money.
The Mike Dukakis Museum...Brookline,Massachusetts.
Branson Train? Ridiculous and insulting.
Also underwhelming was the U.S Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL.
Not all attractions can be as good as ‘The Thing’ in Arizona.
Missing from the list is the Underground Tour of Seattle. What a joke. Walking through somewhat connected unfinished basements while someone tells you that some naughty things went on down there like, oh my gosh, bootlegging and prostitution don't you know.
It seems a little USA heavy. I guess the journalist’s budget didn’t include much air travel.
The most interesting things in the US are the ones God made.
Did the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota make the list?
The Space Needle in Washington State.
The Gateway Arch in Missouri.
Branson, overall, is a blast. Highly recommend it for some inexpensive family fun. I used Save On Branson and got major discounts on everything.
The scenic railway was a snooze. The food was average but the waitstaff were great.
At one point it may have been fun, but that was 30 years ago before the trees blocked the view.
I liked the World of Coca-Cola. This was probably twenty-five years ago, I don’t remember whether it was that interesting or not, but I had gone to the top of Stone Mountain earlier that day, and it was blazing hot. At the end of the Coca-Cola tour, I was able to drink my fill of any ice-cold Coca-Cola product I chose. And there were dispensers that would squirt an perfectly-sized arc of soft-drink a good ten feet or more into your cup.
Someone doesn’t like Legos, Ripleys, science centers and Pigeon Forge in general.
C&TS RR Best scenic railroad candidate
In New Mexico: Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, National Historic Landmark.
