BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – A new study released by Jeffbet discusses the “most disappointing” tourist attractions in the U.S. — and one spot in Florida ranked at the top.
To determine which sites made the list, the study examined popular attractions based on which ones had the highest percentage of lower-rated reviews on Tripadvisor and Google, with terms such as:
-
“bad experience”
-
“wasn’t what I expected”
-
“not impressed”
-
“disappointed”
-
“fell short”
-
“let down”
-
“not what I thought”
-
“not worth it”
Among those rated the worst, Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky came in third place, with several comments claiming it was underwhelming. Meanwhile, the No. 2 spot went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
But at the top of the list was none other than the Kennedy Space Center on Florida’s Space Coast.
According to the study, the space center had around 20% of its reviews at three stars or less, with some users calling it a “huge disappointment” or the “biggest waste of money.”
The rest of the top 20 on the list are as follows:
