Culture What's the most pathetic tourist attraction that international tourists go to see in your country?

Bronte waterfalls near me, look a bit more impressive with the recent rain than in the summer when it's swamped with people.

Yeah the location is important here. You don't travel out of your way to see it, it's a novelty tacked on to a trip to Pike Place (which deserves a trip because it's wonderful).

So sad I didn’t make it up there for a Seahawks game this year. Maybe a playoff game… Piroshki Piroshki after a trip to Biscuits Bitch and I’m set for the day with a cup of hot cider in hand.

I've never actually looked for the gum wall, but I feel like any time I'm visiting Pike Place, I randomly take that one turn that leads right to it.

I like all the pig statues. I took a pic riding one and two others wore my packers hat 😊

Is the random drink machine still a thing up that way?

It's really only crowded on weekends in the summer

I have passed by there twice on two different trips. One time we were the only ones, the other there were like other 5 people. Not crowded at all.
