http://www.thetravelerszone.com/travel-destinations/top-25-most-visited-tourist-destinations-in-america/
Here is the list of top 25 most visited tourist destinations in america according to forbes.
The list includes the thundering falls of Niagara, it also features the harrowing water-chutes of Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean.
Seven of the 25 attractions are amusement parks; Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, remains on top in the theme-park world. Tourists appreciate renowned art collections and sunny beaches in equal measure.
Many foreign visitors are interested in seeing the natural scenic attractions like the Grand Canyon, Yosemite and Yellowstone National Parks. |

I've been to all but three of them and one of those is #15. Guess I better stop by next time I'm in the neighborhood if it's all that!

That is funny that you could have visited so many at #15 not being one of them. |

Especially when I live so close to it! I guess I've never been to SLC as a tourist so am probably missing all sorts of good places to visit. |

| Less than half, but at 11, it was still more than I expected. OK, technically only 10, since I've not been to Niagara Falls NY, but I'm counting the Canadian Niagara Falls, 'cuz they're better, and I could see the New York side. |

| Guess I live a boring life.... I have only been to 5 of them (2, 6, 7, 11, 23). I have never been to Temple Square (#15) but I have driven by it at least 1000 times..... |

| I've been to 7 and could really care less about going to most of those places, I prefer the beautiful scenic places that are the least visited, Utah has a lot of those. |
