Boring US destination: Henderson, Nevada
We get it! When most people think of Nevada, they think of Vegas. So Henderson, being a city with minimal gaming zones, nightlife, and arenas, usually means it’s a city with no recreation.
Since the city is located so close to Las Vegas, its residents mostly go to Sin City to party and let loose on their weekends, leaving the people in Henderson with not much to do in their own metropolis.
Boring US destination: Anchorage, Alaska
Seeing one of the biggest cities in Alaska on this list might surprise you. But sadly, we think it might be because it’s also considered the most boring state in the United States.
Apparently, apart from recreational activities like fishing and skiing, there really isn’t much to see and do in this city. And even though it’s such a large city, it doesn’t have any sports arenas or entertainment hubs.

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
