FlipKey selected one attraction for each of the 50 states for its list of 2016 "Top Family Attractions Worth Traveling For". FlipKey Media Relations Specialist Jacqueline Gormley explains, "Award winners were selected based on traveler reviews, fun factor for all ages, and an internal voting process. To be named the Top Family Attraction in your state is quite an accomplishment."
