I know they get a bad rep, but what are some good ones in your opinion?

Carlsbad, California is one of my favorite tourist traps. It’s always fun to go in the summer!
Kitch-iti-kipi. It’s locating in Michigan’s UP and is the state’s largest freshwater spring. It’s so beautiful and totally worth it to visit!!
Mine would be the Big Horn Medicine Wheel in Wyoming. It is an archaeoastronomy sight and is in alinement with the summer solstice. It’s American’s Stonehenge and it’s age is umknown , nor is it’s original purpose. It is a sacred sight that is still in use, so do not plan to go there during the month of June. Also, be warned that it is in the mountains and is subject to snow, so check to see if it’s open before visiting. You can also see tipi rings, rocks circles that were used to hold done the tipi’s, among other things.
greenfield village. look it up.
50,000 dollar silver bar in Haugen Mt. I recently saw it on a list of worst tourist traps. But it's awesome. It's everything a tourist trap should be. And the best place to get an authentic Montana Turd Bird.
I don't know if this counts, but I really like the Marine Corps Museum in Quantico, VA.
I really like historical/heritage parks. Sovereign Hill in Ballarat, Australia, is one of the most well known ones in Australia, as it was a big gold rush site, but this makes it very busy. I really like Coal Creek, in Korumburra (also in regional Victoria) which is near where my family used to have a caravan. It's a coal town though, rather than gold, but the era is similar so the buildings etc are not much different. There is also another heritage park in nearby Moe, but I haven't visited it yet.
Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee. How can anyone resist the entire 1970’s vibe Elvis had going on? The airplanes and the Champagne Room make it all worthwhile. Check it out!
