16 Famous U.S. Tourist Attractions That Are Actually Super Disappointing In Real Life

11. Times Square: If you love digital advertisements so bright they make the night look like day, a price-hiked Olive Garden in one of the best cities for Italian food, and confused travelers stopping in the middle of heavily-congested sidewalks… this is a great spot.

12. The Golden Gate Bridge: Maybe you have dreams of recreating the Full House theme song and cruising across San Francisco’s iconic bridge in a convertible. But not everyone is treated to beautiful views of a red suspension bridge spanning San Francisco Bay.

Indeed, as the third-foggiest city in the United States, the Golden Gate Bridge tends to get enveloped in fog throughout the year, no matter the season.

13. Mount Rushmore: Seeing the massive faces of past presidents permanently etched in stone sounds like a historian’s happiest day dream, but the carvings themselves look more appropriate for ants. The big ol’ heads aren’t as big as you might think!
