Boring US destination: Aurora, Colorado
Aurora is the 3rd biggest city in this state. But it doesn’t come close to the big two cities, Colorado Springs and Denver, in terms of entertainment. If you want to live in a city with peaceful, serene surroundings, then Aurora is the place to be.
But if you’re looking for excitement, this isolated city doesn’t have any large entertainment hubs, theatres, or arenas to keep you busy while on vacation.
Boring US destination: Lubbock, Texas
The city of Lubbock has one of the lowest arts per capita rates, and also the lowest rate of music venues among Texan cities. Also, when it comes to non-fast food restaurants, this city is one of the worst places in the United States.
So, with restricted dining options, the city is also famous for being rather dull. Sorry Lubbock! But even though you’re not that popular, we still think you look lovely!

I’ve lived in Henderson, NV for most of my life and don’t quite know why it’s on this list. My son, his wife and I went for a walk last night in an extremely interesting park/trail in a wash with abundant desert vegetation and amenities such as sports courts, amphitheaters, dog parks etc. Henderson has many urban parks for all sorts of activities including mountain biking and climbing. And, truthfully, you can’t separate it from Las Vegas for entertainment. Of which, Las Vegas calls itself the adult entertainment capital of the World. This fact is arguable, of course, but can be justified.
Dismal Swamp/Chesapeake VA is the ABSOLUTE BEST! You just need to do it by boat. We’ve done it 4 times, and loved every minute! Stop at the Welcome Center and the State Park buildings for cool info. Amazing to find this next to Norfolk VA.
It’s had that name for at least 50 years. I grew up in Kokomo 50 miles due north of Indy and moved to Denver Colorado only to return a few years ago. Culture shock is putting it mildly and not a lot has changed in the 45 or so years I was gone. Being bored isn’t even the worst part, it’s the crappy weather no matter what time of year. It’s humid and hot all summer with 2 weeks of autumn that is nice and then gray and ugly til spring for 6 windy weeks then it rains
We do have a lot of fairs and festivals and car shows though, might be the DIY/craft capital of the nation.lol
