The Golden Gate bridge is quite a sight to behold - along with being magnificent engineering. Gaze toward this luminous orange suspension bridge from the hills to the north just after sunset when bay and sky turn indigo and the skyline beyond glows like alabaster—then you’ll understand its popularity with bikers, joyriders, pedestrians, and, yes, drivers. The span celebrated its 75th anniversary in May 2012 and launched guided tours and an expanded visitors’ center with a green-screen photo op that makes it look as if you’re climbing the bridge’s lofty cables.

Niagara Falls is made up of three mammoth waterfalls - the three waterfalls are the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. The Horseshoe Falls lie on the Canadian side and the American Falls on the American side, separated by Goat Island. As America’s Oldest State Park, Niagara Falls have been an attraction over the years for honeymooners and for such stunts as walking over the falls on a tightrope or going over them in a barrel. Increasingly, however, the appeal of the site has become its beauty and uniqueness as a physical phenomenon. This is a destination you will long remember.

This Lake Michigan pier-turned-promenade is in perpetual motion thanks to the 150-foot-high Ferris wheel, the old-fashioned Wave Swinger ride, and the merry-go-round with historically accurate carousel animals. Some visitors choose to rent skates, bikes, or four-seater quadcycles to tour the Pier’s 50 acres. For the less energetic, there are Segway tours and the Transporter FX for simulated “high-speed” forays to Africa, Antarctica, or the moon. With nearly 9 million visitors each year - you can find plenty of good reasons to visit the Navy Pier in Chicago.
