I want to go to the cheesiest tourist trap in U.S.
 

Every year, I get together with a group of old college friends and we visit cheesy touristy areas. So far, we've been to Graceland, Wisconsin Dells and DisneyWorld.<BR>I am planning this year's adventure and need something to impress my wacky friends so the cheese factor needs to be high.<BR>We're in our late 20's and up for anything.<BR>

Opryland Hotel!

Hmmmm, let's see - off the top of my head:<BR><BR>Wall Drug, SD<BR><BR>South of the Border, Carolinas<BR><BR>TJ - aka Tiajuana<BR><BR>Dolly World - TN<BR><BR>Jack Daniel's Distillery <BR><BR>Niagra Falls<BR><BR>Milwaukee Brewery Tours - "The Beast"<BR><BR>Branson, Missouri<BR><BR>Any waterpark<BR><BR>New Jersey Shore with a pitstop to Atlantic City<BR><BR>Any NASCAR event - Daytona 500? sweet!<BR><BR>Have fun and oh yeah don't forget to write up a trip report when you return!<BR><BR><BR>

Mall of America!

Sedona, AZ reminded me of the Wisconsin Dells. (Lots of junk and tourist trap shops in the middle of a beautiful natural surrounding). <BR>What about the Pocano Mts? They have all those hotels with heart shaped beds and champaign glass jacuzzis.<BR>There is always Branson.

I don't know if this is touristy enough, but Moline, IL is home to the John Deere tractor museum. <BR>Or you might be able to combine the Grand Canyon--which is nice--with the really cheesey old style Route 66 stops. <BR>Oo, or Pensacola, FL to see the flight museum and space camp, and shop at a Piggly-Wiggly. <BR>Maybe you could check out some Rving magazines (do they exist?) for ideas. This is too much fun.

A third vote for Branson. It's out to an early lead!

How about a visit to the largest ball of twine in the world located on Highway 24 South in Cawker, Kansas...the annual picnic and parade is held the 3rd Saturday in August in conjunction with a twine-a-thon.

Branson, Missouri. It's leaps and bounds ahead (or should I have said behind?) of other cheesy places. Get your pick-up truck, your rifle showing in the back window, your confederate flag, and you'll be set.

What about the setting for "Southfork" near Dallas? Now a flea market on weekends with mobile homes nearby.wahoo!

No doubt, has to be South of the Border.

EEEKkk...cheesy??? Branson, MO has got my vote!

Branson, MO<BR>Grand Canyon, AZ<BR>Monument Valley, UT<BR>Sunset Strip Los Angeles<BR>Times Square, NYC<BR>Dollywood Pigeon Forge<BR>Outer Banks, NC<BR>Smoky Mountains, TN<BR>Gaslamp District San Diego<BR>South Beach Miami<BR>Bourbon St. New Orleans<BR>The Pier Tampa Bay<BR>Kennedy Space Center FL<BR>Martha's Vineyard, MA<BR>Williamsburg, VA<BR>and last but not least,<BR>Washington DC<BR><BR>Have fun, you crazy wacky trolls!<BR>

Dollywood amusement park (owned by Dolly Parton) and stay at nearby Pigeon Forge for the worst tourist trap you have ever seen.

The Jersey shore, Atlantic City notwithstanding, is not cheesy. I wouldn't lump that in the same category as "Dolly World"

This is a stupid post. Two different people can go to the same place and have totally different experiences. What is cheesy to one person is not cheesy to somebody else.

Seaside Heights New Jersey Boardwalk<BR>south of the Border

Plymouth Rock - and bring a handful of pennies to toss at the encaged stone!

How about Las Vegas? I think that is hands down the cheesiest, tackiest, most touristy place in the country. But hey, sometimes cheesy can be fun!

Place in Marblehead, Ohio on Lake Erie called Prehistoric Forest. That is real cheesy. When you get tired of that you can go see the Glacial Grooves on Kellys Island. Then there is Crystal Cave on Put-In-Bay, Ohio...
