This article that I found with Consumerist inspired me to make my own list that’s small now but will grow as I remember the places that underwhelmed me.
Meteor Crater (someplace in AZ)
I won’t even bother trying to find this on the map because I’m sure it’s a Google Search away . . . and with an areal view on a computer you would get more out of it that paying $15 to see what’s essentially a big hole in the ground. Sure, they try to spice it up by putting a “spaceman” down in the middle of the crater so you have something to spot when you use the binoculars at the top of the crater. But the longer you walk around looking for SOMETHING of value the more you start to feel like someone just stole your wallet . . . . especially if you have a family.
Honolulu (yeah, the city in the island of Oahu)
Okay, there is Pearl Harbor and that’s something you need to see while you are there but I’m not sure that really counts as the city of Honolulu. Anyway, Honolulu is just like any other city on a beach that has lots of tall hotels around. It’s about the same and anywhere in Florida or on the coast of California. Drive around the island and get away from Honolulu and if you can . . . fly to another island! And stay away from the beach there . . . worst sand ever!
