I recently visited Niagra Falls on the Canadian side, which was absolutely beautiful and we had such an amazing trip.

However, many consider it one of the "worst tourist traps" in the world.

But, what about closer to home?

Cheapism talked to travel bloggers and industry professionals, along with reading online reviews to identify the tourist traps in every state.

Here in New Jersey, the location they picked is a very popular destination and I'm curious if you agree or disagree with this recent report.

Atlantic City Boardwalk

Tacky. Not a good place for children. In need of refurbishing. These are just some of the downsides of the present incarnation of the Atlantic City Boardwalk, reviewers say. The iconic boardwalk, lined with stores, restaurants, and casinos, dates to 1870 and unfortunately has seen far better days.

The Atlantic City boardwalk is the world's first and longest boardwalk.

I was recently in Atlantic City for an event being held at Boardwalk Hall.

We strolled the boardwalk after and had dinner at Caesars.
