Ten of America’s Most Overrated Tourist Destinations

America the beautiful. There’s so much to see and do all over the United States that Americans should never get bored. Our country has everything to offer, from mountains to deserts to the most varied coastlines anyone could ask for. Even our urban and suburban areas have untold options for entertainment and edification.

With that said, we have plenty of tourist traps and places that, despite millions of visitors and countless devotees, are overrated. As people cross off “bucket lists” – how I loathe that term – they wind up visiting places that are actually clichés while missing out on some real gems not far from the overrated spots.

Here are ten of American’s most overrated tourist destinations. With each entry, I try to present some alternatives, often with options for experiencing local culture and flavor. I realize that this list may step on some toes, but I’m calling it like I see it.

glad to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on this list. Went there a couple of years ago and was very disappointed. Some floors only have a few exhibits that literally take one minute to see everything on that floor. And they actually had Trayvon Martins hoodie on display. what this or all the other so called "artists" that were near the same exhibit have to do with rock and roll I'll never know. if you do ever go there, just go to the basement level and skip all the other floors. you wont miss a thing.
