1. Fisherman’s Wharf (San Francisco, California)
   Millions of people flock to this attraction each and every year. The wharf features many restaurants, souvenir stores, street vendors and of course a fishing pier. It is a good way to spend an afternoon or at least a few hours. Some people say it is a tourist trap but it is worth checking out. Make sure that you take the time to take one of the chartered sail boat rides to get the full experience.
2. Disney World (Lake Buena Vista, Florida)
   Home to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. Disney World is a place that everyone must see. And don’t think that you have to have children to enjoy it. It will turn anyone into a kid again and caters to its adult visitors as much as its child ones.
3. The Las Vegas Strip (Las Vegas, Nevada)
   Sin City is for more than just sinners. The “Neon Trail” as it is called is even listed as part of the government’s National Scenic Byways Program. It is a sight to behold and anyone who experiences it will be amazed by the beauty of this oh so unnatural wonder.
4. Niagra Falls (Niagra Falls, New York)
   The falls have been a famous attraction for centuries now. See the raging waters from many different locations including hiking trails and many different observation towers. We just wouldn’t recommend the view from a barrel.
5. Temple Square (Salt Lake City, Utah)
   Temple Square is not just for Mormons. Of course the church is based there but the city is also known for its display of holiday lights. This display has made Temple Square the number one attraction in Utah.
