From the dry, dusty Wild West deserts of Nebraska to the cold, flat and friendly nature of Minnesota. The Midwest can often receive the cold shoulder from tourists as the west, and east coast have such vibrant cities that have been made famous by films coming out of Hollywood. Everyone knows of the fast-paced pursuit of the almighty dollar type nature of New York and on the flip side, most people can recognize the palm trees in Los Angeles and the Beverly Hills rich list. Many people shrug when they get asked about Midwest. It's the forgotten and unpolished emerald in the crown that most people seem to overlook without even noticing it. However, there are ultimately, countless reasons why the Midwestern States would make a holiday that you will cherish forever, and I really recommend traveling the midwest.

Small twangy shops that make products made from local materials are great memorabilia to take home in your suitcase. A nearby city called Silver Dollar City theme park has been beloved for many generations and has something that's going to satisfy all age groups.

Illinois MinnesotaYou'll never get because there's a staggering choice of water activities as the Brainerd region is home to over 450 lakes. Minnesota may share similar weather patterns as it's giant northern neighbor i.e. Canada, but there's so much fun to be had. The 26-foot tall statue at Paul Bunyan Land greets all comers with a twinkle in its eyes and a warm grin. The logging culture is very well respected and has been given gratifying platitudes since the park opened in 1950.
Unique and raw
