The top three attractions were Gatorland in Orlando at No. 1, Sun Studio in Memphis at No. 2 and House on the Rock in Spring Green, Wisconsin, at No. 3, but slots five through eight all went to Golden State spots.

At No. 5 is the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, known for its maze-like layout and eccentric design.
