I assume you meant the Mormon Temple in Utah, but either way I'd choose a different tourist attraction. There are Mormon Tabernacles and Temples in many states. Maybe delicate arch? Zion National Park? Bonneville Salt Flats? Park City? Or else be more specific and put "(Mormon)Temple Square."

I saw the word Mormon and immediately typed utah

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is based out of the Mormon Tabernacle next door to the temple. Its a real thing.

Level 65
Apr 4, 2011
It is actually more commonly known as the "Mormon Tabernacle" instead of temple. At least to those of us who do not live in Utah.
+1
Level 54
Apr 4, 2011
The temple and the tabernacle are separate attractions. There are mormon temples everywhere, but the only mormon tabernacle is in Utah.
+1
Level 61
Sep 23, 2018
That is not true. I use to live in Council Bluffs, Iowa and a Mormon tabernacle is a historic site in that city because it is where Brigham Young was deemed the leader of the Mormon faith. It isn't a Mormon temple but a Mormon tabernacle and that is in the state of Iowa right by Omaha Nebraska.

There are both a temple and a tabernacle on temple square in Salt Lake City. There are also both temples and tabernacles at various other locations. For example, there is a Mormon temple and a (separate) mormon tabernacle in Logan, Ut. There is a tabernacle, but no temple (though one is under construction) in Brigham City, Ut. There are also tabernacles in Paris, Idaho and Blackfoot, Idaho, as well as many other locations.

That's true, but the only one known as "The Mormon Tabernacle" is the one in Salt Lake.

I thought it was obvious that the answer was Utah, anyway, but maybe it was just me.

Level 78
Apr 5, 2011
On these, it's best to choose the obvious answer - and the obvious answer for "Mormon Tabernacle" is UTAH - there also happens to be an Edgar Allen Poe House in New York, I've been there many times, but few people know about that one - the one they know about is the obvious one, in MARYLAND. No need to overthink these... in fact, had the answer to "Mormon Tabernacle" been any other state but Utah, the writer would have deservedly gotten howls from the rest of us, as no other state's Mormon Tabernacle is a major tourist draw.

Your state is beautiful, and we go there to visit our daughter's family. Minnesota provided us with a wonderful "Minnesota-nice" son-in-law, and there are all those lakes, too. We've never gone to the mall and really have no desire to do so.

Added Chimney Rock.

Level 70
Sep 17, 2019
I had a problem with the inclusion of Chimney Rock (as there are multiple throughout the country, and as best as I can tell, the one in North Carolina receives more annual visitors), as well as the inclusion of Yellowstone, since it is in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Scotts Bluff National Monument would be clearly in Nebraska, and replacing Yellowstone with Old Faithful (which is only in Wyoming) or Grand Tetons would be more clear.
+1
Level 50
Feb 5, 2020
I mean, you could, but Yellowstone is mostly in Wyoming, and that is where people go when they visit Yellowstone.
+2
Level 53
Feb 19, 2023
I second this. I have grown up going to Chimney Rock, North Carolina my whole life and it is a massive tourist attraction.

Voyageurs National Park comes immediately to mind

Prince should open up Paisley Park as a tourist attraction. Voyagers is a little too obscure and under the radar as a national park.

Level 75
May 15, 2017
It's more than just a mall, Jerry. Over 500 stores, 50 restaurants, indoor theme parks, an aquarium, huge LEGO store, concerts, shows, gaming center, evening light shows, a Crayola store that costs $20 just to get in because of all the kids' activities - people can buy three-day passes for the mall experience. They have come up with many, many ways to part families from their money. Definitely a tourist attraction.

Shhh, we want everyone to think there's not much here. Between that and winter, keeps the riff raff out. :-)

What ander said but also when it first opened it was the largest shopping mall in the world and made headlines as such - sort of the prototype of the mega malls that started opening up all over Asia in the years after that. For sure people traveled to Bloomington to see it.

I've been to Yellowstone and I loved it. Got to see "Old Faitful"

Level 69
Feb 3, 2016
You might want to update your clue for Alaska, as Mt. McKinley is no more. The official designation of the mountain has been restored to its native name: Denali. It will still be a great clue though, as Denali is also (and has been for a very long time) the name of the national park which encloses it.

Level 44

I was thinking "AK" was Arkansas the entire time, so that made me struggle for a while...finally figured it out when it was the only one left.
+2
Level 45
Jul 1, 2016
Great quiz. I had no idea the Pentagon was in Virginia. One that you could add is the Henry Doorly Zoo, in Nebraska. Also, I'm so used to seeing Denali that I had to look twice at Mt. McKinley.
+1
Level 32
Jun 21, 2018
Yes, I love the Henry Doorly Zoo! Would have been nice to see some representation from my area too.

This was a good basis for a quiz, and I really like the particular attractions you decided to use :)

Good basis for a quiz, and you could have a part 2, if that hasn't already been done.

Finally gave up thinking that the quiz was broken...

ME did not work for Acadia, GA did not work for coke museum, etc.

Quizmaster, you really need to accept state abbreviations for the clues... Especially since you have them in the word bank.. Its pretty frustrating to type out each and every state name..

space and rocket center in Huntsville Alabama?

Level 61
Jan 24, 2017
Wished my home state of North Dakota would be in there as well. Badlands, International Peace Garden, and Theodore Roosevelt National Park would be good clues.

Don't forget the birthplace of Lawrence Welk!

Sep 18, 2019
Yeah, I wouldn't really go with that one.

Level 64
Mar 5, 2017
I got most of them but had quite a few blanks so I used copy and rapid fire paste until I got a hit for the remaining 10 or so states! It worked! 100!

Level 73
Nov 16, 2017
Shouldn't Idaho and Montana be acceptable answers for Yellowstone since they are part of the park, not just Wyoming?
+5
Level 58
Feb 12, 2018
why not use all the states? for NH you could do Mt. Washington, Hampton Beach, White Mountain National Forest, Story Land, Strawberry Bank, Kancamagus Highway, Canobie Lake Park, Santa's Village, etc.
+1
Level 70
Sep 17, 2019
Agreed. As a non-New Hampshirite (Hampshirian?), I would think that Mt. Washington and White Mountain National Forest would be well enough known to include.

Level 84
Sep 18, 2019
Agreed on Mount Washington, very well known. And a great place to visit!

For once it was rather easy. 3 minutes on the clock remaining.

Level 76
Sep 17, 2019
There is also a Edgar Allen Poe house in Philadelphia, maybe not as famous, but still a national historic site none the less. So could be confusing. Maybe Inner Harbor, naval academy, fort McHenry or Chesapeake bay would be a better clue for Maryland.
+1
Level 70
Sep 17, 2019
Would definitely agree. There are multiple Poe houses, even if the one in Baltimore is most famous. I would agree with including Fort McHenry or the Naval Academy, though the Chesapeake Bay could also be Virginia.

Level 58
Jan 2, 2023
Jeez how many Poe houses are there? I have been to the one in Richmond.

Level 84
Sep 17, 2019
Could probably do with a minute less time. I was able to get 36/36 despite not knowing many of them, based on guessing everything I hadn't eliminated for each one.
+1
Level 69
Sep 21, 2019
When I counted up and discovered I had been to 18 of these sites, at first I patted myself on the back for being so well-traveled. Upon further reflection, I realize what it really means is that I am a sucker for tourist traps!

(Yeah, I know not all these places are actually tourist traps, but there’s really not much arguing the trappiness of, say, Graceland, or Pike’s Peak.)

+1
Level 58
Jan 2, 2023
Nah, there are some pretty amazing places here!
+2
Level 70
Oct 19, 2019
There is also a Edgar Allen Poe house in Richmond, VA. That is what I tried first.I think that one is a particularly confusing clue.

Jan 2, 2023
Yep, that was my first guess!

Level 83
Oct 19, 2019
Love the concept and format for this quiz, but there are just too many ambiguous answers. I've been to Chimney Rock in Maryland, Yellowstone in Montana, The Smithsonian in Virginia, and Cedar Point in Delaware, to name four.

Washington DC is not considered one of the 50 states.

I've somehow been to 23 of these in my travels to the US.

Impressive. I think I've only been to 9-12 depending on whether or not driving past said attraction counts as having been to it or not.

Nice quiz, but would make more sense to include all 50 states.

Visit Mammoth Cave! Such a cool place. And nearby is the comically named but also stunning Big Bone Lick State Park. Both are underrated, imho.

There's no way you convince me that Chimney Rock wouldn't be in North Carolina. Nebraska needs a new clue.
