Boring US destination: Fort Wayne, Indiana
Geez, what do people have against this state?!? Fort Wayne is a city with a population of roughly 268,000, which hosts a few festivals each year. But other than that, there really isn’t much to see and do here.
The population of Fort Wayne is mostly seniors, and there are minimal options for a nightlife or non-fast food restaurants. Also, this area barely has any music venues or stadiums.
Boring US destination: Stockton, California
California is home to some of the most exhilarating cities worldwide, but according to our readers, Stockton is definitely not one of them. It’s considered one of California’s most boring cities and possibly the entire nation.
It’s a farming city with low scores when it comes to culture and arts. In fact, watching TV is the most popular activity in the town apparently… Harsh! Have YOU been here? What do you think?

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
