One thing Ohio is famous for is its amusement parks. The three major amusement parks in Ohio are: Cedar Point, Six Flags and King's Island. Each one of these parks has it's own style, rides attractions and prices.
One of Ohio's most famous theme parks is Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. Cedar Point is the number one rated amusement park on the planet. The 364-acre resort containing many rides, hotels and RV parks was established in the 1880's and has attracted millions of people since it's creation. The initial creation of Cedar Point was not it's rides, but it's beach. In 1870, a man named Louis Zistel discovered the extreme popularity the beaches had and setup up a boat that would take island goers to the island for a relaxing day in the sun. On the island there were bands, food and festivals. It wasn't until 1888 that the founders of Cedar Point became serious about making it a popular resort. In 1888 the famous Grand Pavilion was built. Here, everyone could enjoy a fine meal, entertainment by The Great Western Band and Orchestra. Throughout the years, Cedar Point had many new bands and buildings go up, attracting more and more people.

...s cool all year round. Park goers have the opportunity to hike and climb around the ledges and explore the caverns (“Ritchie Ledges”). While the natural beauty of this park is the main attraction, the man made attractions should not be overlooked. The Ohio Erie Canal Towpath is the man made attraction that offers the most recreation to park goers. This trail follows the exact path of the historic Erie Canal. People have the ability to walk, run, cross country ski and bike on this trail (“Ohio Erie Canal Towpath”).

Everyone loves sightseeing and being tourists because observing beautiful places gives people an opportunity to relax and enjoy their moment away from home. Whether they are exploring new, exciting places where you live, or far away from home, sightseeing is one of the greatest pleasures to do in life. I have been to a numerous number of places across the world, and I have to say that Hawaii and San Francisco are both wonderful places to visit. Hawaii and San Francisco, two of the top ten tourist destinations in the United States that attract people from all over the world, resulting in the astonishing landmarks such as Pearl Harbor and Alcatraz Island.

Two state I have never visited is Hawaii and alaska. However, my goal is to visit each of these states within the next 2 years.
Disneyland marked the onset of theme parks in the nation, which was carved out of a fantasy tale and it has been the leader for 60 years. And, there was virtually no competition to the attraction quotient that attracted people and tourists to visit the theme park.
We began with the typical touristy attractions; the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Soho, Central Park, and shopping. We had been planning this trip for months and had poured over every detail. From the time the plane landed, we were living by a minute-to-minute schedule. This was a well organized trip and The Great White Way was not on the agenda. Or so we thought.

The town of Butler is not a very well known place, but I would not trade anything in the world for it. In this quaint little town one will find a wide variety of year round activities and traditional festivals. I have traveled to many places in our nation and to other nations, but I have yet to find a place that is as dear to me as my hometown. Most of the inhabitants of Butler will tell you the same thing, whether they have traveled or not. Butler has such a picturesque landscape that it is often the subject of many photographers. The history of this town is also one of the qualities that make it such a wonderful and unique place. The friendly people, various activities, such as water sports hiking, and the wonderful landscape in the town of Butler, TN, make it one of the premier vacation spots and home sites in the nation.
Honolulu, Hawaii and Nassau, Bahamas are two very popular tourist destinations. However, in two different oceans, they are both located on an island. The cities each attract tens of thousands of visitors a year. It can difficult to try and decide which place to spend a vacation. I have vacationed in both these places. Honolulu, Hawaii is the best place to travel due to its superior weather, tourist attractions and resorts, and culture.
According to the website dreamsunlimitedtravel accessed on November 16 2015, “The park opened with 5 original parks. Those parks are Main Street U.S.A, Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland.” The idea for Main Street, U.S.A is derived from a typical Midwest town of the early 20th century. It’s suppose to reflect the Victorian era with a train station, emporium, double-decker buses, and horse-drawn streetcars. Adventureland is designed to recreate the feel of an exotic tropical place in a far-off region of the world. Frontierland recreates the setting of pioneer days along the American frontier. And finally, the Fantasyland was originally styled in a medieval European fairground fashion, but its 1983 refurbishment turned it into a Bavarian village. There have been 3 new parks added to Disneyland since opening day. These new parks include New Orleans square, Critter Country, and Mickey's Toontown. New Orleans Square is based on 19th-century New Orleans, opened on July 24, 1966. Critter Country opened in 1972 and formerly was the area home to Indian Village, where indigenous tribespeople demonstrated their dances and other customs. Mickey's Toontown opened in 1993 and was partly inspired by the fictional Los Angeles suburb of Toontown in the Touchstone Pictures' 1988 release Who Framed Roger

Each country in the world has specific areas that any people can access. Some countries have natural places, modern places, or both together. Therefore, each person needs to know what he or she wants to see. Newly married couples and the elderly population on usually prefer natural areas because it is relaxing, and they want to escape their daily routine. Other people like to go to places that have a lot of malls because they prefer the shopping. Big families who have children want to visit a place that has parks and zoos because their children enjoy it. A few people go to a new place because they like to learn a new culture and language. On the other hand, a few people simply want to see any place. They do not have any specific target. In
