Sherwood Forest The longest frame house in the country, this was the home of 10th US president John Tyler. Full tours are available by advance appointment only ($35 per person), though the grounds are open to self-guided tours .
La Plaza de Cultura y Artes This museum chronicles the Mexican-American experience in Los Angeles, from the Mexican–American War when the border crossed the original pueblo, to the Zoot Suit Riots to Cesar Chavez and the Chicana movement.
Huilua Fishpond Although many of Kahanas archaeological sites are inaccessibly deep in the valley, impressive Huilua Fishpond is visible from the highway and can be visited simply by walking down to the beach at Kahana Bay.
Kamakahonu Beach Kailua-Konas only swimmable in-town beach is this teeny-tiny strand between Kailua Pier and Ahuʻena Heiau, where ocean waters are calm and usually safe for kids. Concession stands rent all kinds of beach gear.
Howell Park Just south of Viretta Park is a small beachfront called Howell Park. It is usually less crowded due to the lack of parking. If you’re on foot, look for a small sign and trailhead that leads to the beach.
James Monroe Museum & Memorial Library The museums namesake was the nations fifth president. US history nerds will delight in the small curious collection of Monroe memorabilia, including the desk on which he wrote the famous Monroe Doctrine.
Bill Hammond Stadium Forget daylight savings – residents of Fort Myers measure the seasons by the beginning and end of baseball spring training. Minnesota Twins fans literally camp for spring training tickets to Bill Hammond Stadium.
Bear Country USA Oodles of bears big and small in this drive-through park live off the land and hope youll do something forbidden like offering them a Big Mac, or your hand. The attraction is eight miles south of Rapid City.
Aquarium at Rockport Harbor This small volunteer-run aquarium has crabs and other local sea critters, including most of the fish avidly sought by local fishers. Youll often see local artists just outside capturing the colors of the sea.
Center on Contemporary Art This gallery has been a force in Seattle’s contemporary art scene for two decades. After moving around a lot, it has opened a new branch in Belltown as well as this primary space in the Shilshole Bay Beach Club.
Center for PostNatural History Postnatural history, according to the artist founder of this quirky museum, is the field of plants and animals manipulated by humankind. Learn all about spider-silk-making goats, selective breeding and more.
Fountain Square Fountain Sq is the citys centerpiece, a public space with a seasonal ice rink, free wi-fi, concerts (7pm Tuesday to Saturday in summer), a Reds ticket kiosk and the fancy old Genius of Water fountain.
Frazier History Museum Surprisingly ambitious for a midsized city, this state-of-the-art museum covers 1000 years of history with grisly battle dioramas and costumed interpreters demonstrating swordplay and staging mock debates.
El Paso Museum of History This museum has a shiny new location in the heart of the downtown museum district. Its not huge and sometimes there seems to be a lot of reading, but its an easy stop-off if youre already at the Museum of Art.
Old Colorado Historical Society Located in a former Baptist church, this tiny museum and bookstore introduces visitors to the history of Old Colorado City and is a good way to add context to a wander past todays boutiques and restaurants.
Kahuku Land Farms A number of local farm stands group together just west of the Turtle Bay Resort entrance. Stop here for a fresh-cold coconut water ($3) and to peruse the unexpected selection of fruits (pitaya, pomelo…).
Mission San Juan The most somber of the missions, this is the next stop if youre on the lets-see-them-all plan. The surviving church is open, as is a small visitor center and a quarter-mile nature trail along the river.
McFaddin Visit this fabulous 1906 mansion to see the excess made possible by the Spindletop oil boom. Members of the McFaddin family lived in the house until 1984; their rich antique furnishings fill the lavish rooms.
Monarch Grove Sanctuary Between October and February, over 25,000 migratory monarch butterflies cluster in this thicket of tall eucalyptus trees, secreted inland. During peak season, volunteer guides answer all of your questions.
National Children’s Museum As of early 2015, the museum is homeless, looking for a new space to open in DC (it spent the few years prior at National Harbor in Maryland, with disappointing visitor numbers). Check the website for updates.
