Every state.province has an attraction, regardless of it's size. It may be a small thing that attracts 50 visitors, or a larger one that attracts 5 million. What are your state/provinces biggest attractions, natural and artificial.

Example:

New Mexico

Natural-Carlsbad Caverns is a home to thouusands of bats. it is one of the largest cave systems in the world.
Artificial/Event:The Kodak Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta has gone on 32 years. Last year, 1 million tourists visited the great show of hot air balloons. It is open from the first weekend of October through the second weekend in October. This year it stated today, and will ened in 8 days.

Okay, i'm cheating, since mine is a country, but what the hell.:D

Where do I start? Whisky, kilts, pubs, the Highlands, bagpipes, haggis, the scenery, the accents and just the culture in general. They all seem to make people come here.:notme:

It's certainly not the weather.:D

I said restaurants.

We also have Howe Caverns, the Catskill Mountains, the Bosht Belt hotels in the Catskills, Lake George, West Point, the Merchant Marine Academy, the USS Intrepid, the United Nations, the Statue of Liberty, tons of Gold Coast mansions, the second largest residence in the country (OHEKA Castle in Cold Spring Hills, Long Island), Macy*s, Blommie's, Lord & Taylor, and all the other world class shopping, the original Thanksgiving Day Parade. Rockefeller Center at Christmastime really cannot be easily described. And so much more.
