O-Block Chicago.
When you go there, make sure you put your first three fingers up and yell "BDK." Some friendly gentleman will come out their homes and welcome you with candy and fun games.

You sure you're not talking about Brampton Ontario

Miami

Tons of national parks.
What type of activities are you looking for

gee... Thanks for nothing CE.

Just going to list three places I'd like to visit at some point.

1. Albany, Georgia - the pecan capital of the world. Pecan is my favorite kind of pie so I'd like to see what kind they offer.

2. Memphis, Tennessee - Uncle Lou's Fried Chicken was on an episode of "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" and the food looked so damn good.

3. Las Vegas, Nevada and the surrounding areas - Less for the gambling and tiddy bars then to visit some spots from Fallout: New Vegas since I've played it so much.

Where we've already been
Like Elvis-O-Rama, the Tupperware Museum
The Boll Weevil Monument and Cranberry World
The Shuffleboard Hall Of Fame, Poodle Dog Rock
And The Mecca of Albino Squirrels
We've been to ghost towns, theme parks, wax museums
And the place where you can drive through the middle of a tree
We've seen alligator farms and tarantula ranches

But there's still one thing we gotta see
The biggest ball of twine in Minnesota

It really depends on what you're into. There's different destinations depending on what you want to get into.

Personally I'm a foodie and don't need a lot of "extra" apart from good food. On that front a couple good places I've been to are Savannah, GA and New Orleans. The latter has way more options on other entertainment like museums, shows, etc. I've hit up Key West as well and it was good, but it's such a tiny place you'll probably run out of options in a few days.

For theme parks there's mainly the big ones: Disney and Universal. The east coast versions also have Busch Gardens in day trip distance if you like roller coasters. I don't know how much can compare to those, even if there's a smattering of others around.

I'm not much of a camper type but I know Yellowstone gets the most play from national parks. There's also the redwood and sequoia forests, and Crater Lake park. And the Appalachians are good for leaves changing in the fall (Vermont or the tourist-y area around Pigeon Forge are good for that).

Culture wise, New York City, Washington DC, and San Francisco are probably highlights. That's for things like museums, plays, etc. Two of those have really good food options but you'll have to be more picky from the sheer selections available.

There's lots of other things around of course. I tried to list the "big" ones, but like I said I dunno exactly what you're looking for in terms of that, hidden gems, or more kitschy stuff like Loafy mentioned.

You could go to Santana Row in the western part of San Jose. They have a lot of great shops there.

Vegas is overrated. Don't come here. The casinos will be fine without you.
