Popular Illinois Spot Named 'Most Boring Tourist Trap' In The Entire State

Have you visited the most "boring" tourist trap in all of Illinois?

Because "boring" can mean something different to every traveler, this destination is admired by some and detested by others.

Tourists often choose destinations based on elements they think will fascinate them, only to arrive and find a place very different from what they initially anticipated.

Be it distinctive history or sheer popularity, something about this well-known Illinois location drew people in, and they walked away with an experience far from what they imagined. Some are disappointed with their experience, and others are interested and cannot wait to tell their friends and family. 

According to a list compiled by Cheapism, the most overrated tourist destination in Illinois is Navy Pier in Chicago.

Here's what Cheapism had to say about the most "boring" tourist destination in the entire state:

"Between the $18 price to ride the Ferris wheel, crowds, mediocre bars, and cafeteria food, locals often steer clear of Chicago's Navy Pier, leaving it for the tourists, resident Rachel Cooper says. Still, there are a few redeeming attractions, such as performances by the Chicago Shakespeare Theater (although tickets aren't cheap) and epic fireworks displays over Lake Michigan."
