Walt Disney World
Yellowstone
Chicago River
Washington Monument
Mount Rushmore
Mall of America (LOL duh!)
Gateway Arch
The White House
Arlington Cemetery

Although the only ones I've been to as an adult are the Chicago River (and frankly didn't pay much attention to it, just in the general area), the Mall of America (obviously) and the Gateway Arch.

Walt Disney World, Times Square, Washington Monument, The White House, South Beach, Central Park and the Empire State

Counting "been to" in a fairly loose sense in some cases

I went past tha Statue of Liberty on the ferry but it was a very foggy day so I didn't see anything

It's shameful. They completely forgot about Mar-A-Lago.

@ GtG  would prefer it in a poll format for easier access, especially for my "old man" comfort. Wink

Actually deliberately skipped a bunch of them back in the dayz when I had easier opportunities since I wasn't a big fan of "tourist trap" joints...

Still def YES to the following:

Space Needle
Las Vegas Strip
Times Square
Chicago River
Washington Monument
Mount Rushmore
Golden Gate Bridge
River Walk
Niagara Falls
Gateway Arch
The Alamo
The White House
Liberty Bell
Central Park
Arlington Cemetery
Lake Tahoe

Pretty sure I was at the:

French Quarter (Photos of me visiting relatives in New Orleans when I was 4 or 5)
Disney World (Visiting cousins in San Diego when I was 5 or 6)

Skipped:

Grand Canyon    (Decided to hang out in Flagstaff, AZ on a college road trip instead)

Some of the others on the list such as Alcatraz no real interest despite opportunities...

Mall of the Americas.... why bother visiting a temple of excessive consumerist capitalist culture, while meanwhile been to even better and more expensive shopping malls elsewhere without spending a dime.
