Sightseeing
America's largest privately-owned home, a castle, really. It's expensive and check for reservations, but an experience you'll never forget. Go ahead and rent the self-guided tour headset. You'll need it to truly enjoy the house. The grounds are just as wonderful. I recommend you get a late-day entry ticket so you can go back the next day, too.
