The allure of \u201cas seen on TV\u201d and an influencer\u2019s POV of travel can leave us disappointed when we realize we didn\u2019t get our money, time, or both worth. Buyer beware as we\u2019re unpacking some of the biggest rip-offs of all time: from universal woes, not-so-national treasures, and even every state\u2019s scams.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We dove headfirst into Google Trends and Tripadvisor to determine the top \u201crip-offs\u201d people were talking about at national, state, and local levels. From there we used the top lists to survey 5,000 participants. From the findings, we were able to separate the downright deceptions from the attractions worth the money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Disney World ranks as the #1 biggest US tourist attraction rip-off<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respondents stated the worst generic rip-offs included: college textbooks (#1), credit scores (#2), and movie theater snacks (#3)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>State fairs, ski resorts, and theme parks, ranked amongst the biggest rip-offs on a state level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top rip-offs we can all agree on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou know what really grinds my gears,\u201d turns out to be a shared experience. There are certain money grabs that are a universal peeve. When we asked respondents to share their biggest gripes based on the summarized rip-offs list we were left with some clear winners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing we can all agree on is that college textbooks are the biggest rip-off ever. An extra $200 just because the latest addition has two new pages added? You\u2019ll only need to use it twice? The price of knowledge is a steep one! Americans, without hesitation, rated <strong>college textbooks as the #1 biggest rip-off of all<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it wasn\u2019t already made clear, the whole \u201cadulting\u201d thing in general is a rip-off, but, to be more specific, so are credit scores. The bread and butter of surviving in the US all comes back to the swipe of an American Express card or getting (and paying) as many bills as possible. <strong>Credit Scores ranked as the #2 biggest, universal rip-off<\/strong> according to respondents. The kicker? If you want to <em>know<\/em> your credit score, you can expect a dent in your credit just by checking the number. It\u2019s a real credit quandary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To round off the top three, we need to head to the movies. The joy of catching a flick on the weekend is shadowed by the absurd sum you\u2019re expected to pay for the snack to go with it. Even an arm and a leg won\u2019t cut it when it comes to the price of movie theater popcorn which is why respondents listed <strong>movie theater snacks as the third biggest, universal rip-off<\/strong>.&nbsp; The smallest bag of popcorn will cost you, on average, $6.09 in the US today. With a 1,300% markup, it\u2019s no wonder Americans consider it to be a corn-tastrophe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honorable mentions go to the other tops (in descending order): hotel mini-bars, airport food and drink, cable television, brand-name products, specialty coffee, alcohol\/desserts at restaurants, travel deals, and landline phones. Some write-ins included insurance, payday loans, medication, and student loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">National Monuments ranked by rip-off status<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Land of the free, home of the overpaying. Although some national parks and monuments are free, the majority are not. Not only is it not free, but it can also cost you a pretty penny. National Park admission fees, on average, are $30 per car; some are worth it, others not so much. Pair that with the other top US private attractions, like Disney World or the Space Needle, that charge exorbitant fees, we can see why some Americans are feeling scorned by visiting their nation\u2019s most popular places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the Tripadvisor results for the top 10 US attractions, we asked participants to rank what they thought was the biggest to least rip-offs according to their experiences. 60% of respondents concluded that <strong>Disney World is the biggest rip-off for US attractions<\/strong>. The happiest place on Earth turns out to be the \u201cmost scammy\u201d place on Earth too as this top attraction ranks #1 for rip-offs. Starting at $109 per person for the most basic ticket, we start to see why Disney makes the top rip-off ranks. Ciao, Mickey Mouse!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nation\u2019s capital is taking a blow too. DC, in and of itself, can be costly but some of the monuments simply aren\u2019t worth the hassle either, according to respondents. <strong>The National Mall ranks second as the biggest rip-off for top US tourist attractions<\/strong>. Ironically, the National Mall itself is <em>free<\/em>, but respondents agree that the cost of getting there, the price of food and accommodation close by, and more simply make it not worth the hype. One Tripadvisor user writes, \u201cManipulators exploiting visitors for cash. Aggressive vendors heckled the tourists and blocked walkways. Trash and grocery carts adorn the main plazas,\u201d putting rip-off to a new level. Another visitor shares, \u201cNo real stores&#8230;just a bunch of old buildings. They should probably rename it. Was a bit disappointed, was hoping for winter sales.\u201d Well\u2026yeah.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, which top US tourist attraction (shamefully) scores bronze? <strong>The Alamo ranks #3 biggest rip-off for US tourist attractions<\/strong>. Free on the surface, a real, fleshed-out visit is going to cost you. A self-guided tour is $20, a guided tour is $45, and group tours start at $20 per person. 731 out of 19,600 Tripadvisor reviews make mention of the Exhibits add-ons being a \u201cmust\u201d, but it\u2019s far from complimentary. Adding the Alamo Exhibit tickets will cost you an <em>extra<\/em> $14. Americans are saying no to the Alamo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other seven, top US attractions were ranked by rip-off in order: Statue of Liberty, Space Needle, Gateway Arch, Navy Pier, Hoover Dam, Ole\u2019 Faithful, and Glacier National Park.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top Rip-Offs by State\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every state has its own money grab, be it the \u201cWorld\u2019s Biggest Insert-underwhelming-thing-here\u201d or a theme park asking for a <em>small fee of $60<\/em> just to park your car. What a time to be alive (and swindled). We asked participants from each of the 50 states to rank the state\u2019s Tripadvisor top 5 attractions that they believe are rip-offs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>Alabama<\/strong>: Visiting the University of Alabama\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Alaska<\/strong>: Visiting a glacier<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Arizona<\/strong>: Wild West recreation towns<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <strong>Arkansas<\/strong>: The Walmart Museum<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. <strong>California<\/strong>: Disneyland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. <strong>Colorado<\/strong>: Aspen Ski Resort<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. <strong>Connecticut:<\/strong> Yale University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. <strong>Delaware<\/strong>: Dover International Speedway<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9. <strong>Florida<\/strong>: Disney World\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10. <strong>Georgia<\/strong>: Six Flags<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11. <strong>Hawaii<\/strong>: Waikiki Beach<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>12. <strong>Idaho<\/strong>: Coeur d\u2019Alene Lake<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>13. <strong>Illinois<\/strong>: Lollapalooza\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>14. <strong>Indiana<\/strong>: Indy 500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>15. <strong>Iowa<\/strong>: Iowa State Fair<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>16. <strong>Kansas<\/strong>: The ball of twine<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>17. <strong>Kentucky<\/strong>: Ark Encounter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>18. <strong>Louisiana<\/strong>: French Quarter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>19. <strong>Maine<\/strong>: Desert of Maine<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>20. <strong>Maryland<\/strong>: Ocean City Boardwalk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>21. <strong>Massachusetts<\/strong>: Martha\u2019s Vineyard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>22. <strong>Michigan<\/strong>: Hell, Michigan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>23. <strong>Minnesota<\/strong>: Mall of America<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>24. <strong>Mississippi<\/strong>: Beauvoir Estate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>25. <strong>Missouri<\/strong>: Legoland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>26. <strong>Montana<\/strong>: Big Sky Resort<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>27. <strong>Nebraska<\/strong>: Nebraska State Fair<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>28. <strong>Nevada<\/strong>: The Strip<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>29.

Fortunately, we\u2019ve done the dirty work of deciphering the rip-offs from the \u201cworth its\u201d. By looking at rip-offs on a local, state, national, and universal scale, the cons are clearer. From the ridiculous price tag of a college textbook to the cost of maintaining a dead landline, we now know rip-off from respectable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We initially gathered data by pooling the top results on Google Trends and Tripadvisor for US tourist attractions and keywords associated with \u201crip-off\u201d. We then surveyed over 5,000 Americans in January 2024 to affirm and categorize this data. The age range was between 18-65 with all participants residing in the United States. Over half \u2014 56% \u2014 were female, 42% were male, 1% identified as trans or non-binary, and 1% listed \u201cother\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fair Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to use the data or visuals on this page for non-commercial purposes.
