What's something to do in Idaho? Or Nebraska? Now this list is not the BEST things to do in each state, just something cool I enjoyed or would like to do. Having been to 43 of the 50 states, I've done many of the things on this list, so I can say from my personal experience they are pretty cool. So without further ado, here is something cool to do in each of the fifty states.

Alabama

I'm biased, but this one is easy. Go to a night game in Jordan-Hare.

Alaska

Haven't been here, but I'm dying to go to Denali National Park.

Arizona

Easy, Grand Canyon. One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

Arkansas

The Ozarks are legit.

California

I have not been here, but its really hard for me to pick just one. From the countless things to do in any of the cities, to beaches, to the abundance of national and state parks, its really tough. But I have to go with Yosemite National Park.

Colorado

Again, a lot of options. Mountains, Denver, Mile High Stadium, skiing, the list goes on. For Colorado I would have to say hiking at least part of the way up Pike's Peak.

Connecticut

This might not be something you've heard of, but Mystic Seaport would be a pretty cool place to visit in Connecticut. It might be boring for some, but has a great nautical museum and is also really cool just to walk around.

Delaware

Rehoboth Beach isn't crazy compared to a lot of beaches, but has a somewhat different vibe and will give a cool feel for the state of Delaware.

Florida

Walt Disney World. Some might disagree, but for me it was the easiest pick on this list.

Georgia

I really really loved St. Simon's Island when I visited. There is a whole bunch to do in this state, but that's my pick for this list.

Hawaii

Have not been here, but I feel like it's hard to distinguish. The whole place is so tropical and gorgeous (what I've gathered from pictures) so it's hard to just pick one beach... so I will say Haleakala National Park.

Idaho

There are a lot of gorgeous places to go in Idaho, a state that usually gets overlooked. Although there are plenty of cool towns to visit, I'm going to buck the nature trend and say go watch a game on Boise State's blue field.

Illinois

Chicago has so much stuff to do, and it's one of my favorite cities I've been too.

Indiana

Your call on this one. Would you rather visit a college and head to South Bend or Bloomington, or visit Indianapolis?

Iowa

The National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium in Dubuque looks really cool. I've been to Iowa, but never been to this museum/aquarium combo.

Kansas

I'll be honest with you, this one was hard. Kansas is, by general consent, one of the more boring states out there (sorry to any Kansas people). I would try to go watch a Kansas Jayhawk's basketball game in Lawrence.

Kentucky

Caves sort of creep me out, but I'll still put Mammoth Cave on here.

Louisiana

Watching a game in Death Valley would be incredible because it is one of, if not the best, home field advantages in sports.

Maine

Go to a local place, buy some lobsters they caught that morning, cook em and eat em. It's incredible.

Maryland

The Baltimore Aquarium is truly amazing.

Massachusetts

Fenway is iconic, and I am not even a big baseball guy, but a game at Fenway definitely made the list.

Michigan

I think I would want to try to go to an Ohio State-Michigan game at the Big House.

Minnesota

Minnesota is lowkey incredible state. I wish I knew more specific things, but I think I would want to play a game of pond hockey. It isn't specific to Minnesota by any means, but hockey is big-time there.

Mississippi

Sorry Mississippi, but I really don't know too many crazy fun things here. Tailgating at The Grove maybe?

Missouri

St. Louis is an amazing city, but I've been staring at pictures of Clearwater Cove (a brand-spankin-new YoungLife camp) so I think I have to put that. There are a ton of amazing YoungLife camps, but this is the only one on the list because A) its brand new and B) if I put all the YoungLife camps I really want to go to, it would be an insanely long list.

Montana

Glacier National Park. The end.

Nebraska

Chimney, Courthouse and Jail Rocks, in addition to Scott's Bluff, are all super random but really really cool things to go see in Nebraska. They are sort of tall, and Nebraska is sort of flat, so you can see them from a long way off.

Nevada

I guess Las Vegas, although I wasn't wowed the one time I saw it. It was a short time but still didn't look all that its cracked up to be.

New Hampshire

Go hiking in the White Mountains.

New Jersey

I'm going to stretch here, and say stay in New Jersey and visit NYC. I want to put something else for the state of New York, so I'm putting NYC here. I know it's not in New Jersey, so apologies to New Jerseans, but I'm not a huge fan of your state anyway.

New Mexico

Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, both very cool, but Albuquerque is a very interesting city, and I want to explore it more.

New York

Niagara Falls. Pretty huge.

North Carolina

The Outer Banks are one of my favorite places in the world, so that for sure is on here. No specific town in the Outer Banks, the whole thing is pretty amazing to me. Cape Lookout and Cape Hatteras are amazing if you need specific spots.

North Dakota

I have not been here, but Fargo seems so remote as a town that I kind of want to see it.

Ohio

Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. They have a lot of cool things there, and if you go for an enshrinement ceremony, you will see a lot of famous players.

Oklahoma

An Oklahoma-Oklahoma State game in Stillwater or Norman I guess? A Thunder game when Durant and Hardin were still there could be a grand time.

Oregon

CRATER LAKE. But seriously, I really really really want to visit Crater Lake.

Pennsylvania

Philadelphia is a super cool city, but its history is what does it for me. Also I like Philly Cheesesteaks.

Rhode Island

Not too much to do here, so I guess go to Newport and see the crazy mansions built for people like Cornelius Vanderbilt.

South Carolina

Everyone loves Charleston. Literally everyone.

South Dakota

Mount Rushmore and those giant heads. Also the Badlands.

Tennessee

Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Memphis, Nashville, there really is a lot in this state. I'm gonna stick with America's most visited National Park, Great Smoky Mountains.

Texas

I haven't done enough in this ginormous state to make a fair pick, but I will just go with the Alamo. Haven't seen it, just really want to.

Utah

In a state with a plethora of National Parks, Zion is my favorite. To be fair, I haven't been to all of them, but it'll be hard for any of the others to top Zion.

Vermont

Go to a local diner or some such place that gets local maple syrup (or even makes their own), and get some of it to take home after you've had it there. Also skiing seems pretty legit here.

Virginia

There is a LOT of stuff here. Fall in Shenandoah National Park is cool, but one of the many historical sites would be amazing year-round. Mount Vernon, Manassas Battlefield, Jamestown, the list goes on.

Washington

Mt. Rainier looks gorgeous, other natural wonders look incredible, but I think I want to explore Seattle.

West Virginia

New River Gorge (and its bridge) is pretty cool to see.

Wisconsin

There is a lot, but I really want to see Aaron Rodgers and the Packers play a home playoff game in Lambeau when the temperature is crazy low.

Wyoming

Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. They are truly unbelievable.

So yes, there are a lot of sports and nature on this list. If these things don't interest you, every state has unique features that make it a cool place to explore. Get out there and explore them for yourself!
