Frequently asked questions
2 The Bayou State – Louisiana
This state is that of Duck Dynasty fame. Sure, what you see on television makes for a rugged, entertaining getaway, but there’s a lot of other things to see too. Visit New Orleans or take a tour of the swamp. You’ll get a taste for the landscape, weather and people that crop up on the show and you’ll love every single minute of it.
3 Branson, Missouri
This hub of talent (or in some cases, lack of) is pretty popular and is nestled in the Ozark Mountains. That means some great scenery to surround yourself with. If you’re a fan of the old school Brady Bunch show, you can see one of its stars as he tries to make it big in Branson. Another show, called Branson Famous, is also filmed here. You’ll love seeing the whole show come to life right before your eyes.
4 The Bering Sea
This is definitely not one for the faint of heart. Seen in Deadliest Catch, the area is rugged and pretty cold. However, if you’re a thrill seeker or love a good adventure, this is the place for you. It will test your survival skills, but you can also take it easy and enjoy the beautiful scenery that will surround you. Don’t forget to pack your coat!
5 Las Vegas, Nevada
You knew this would make the list, didn’t you? Las Vegas is the backdrop of the reality show, Pawn Stars. If you love following the guys as they make deals in Vegas, you will really love seeing it in real life. When you finish your browse through the famous pawn shop, you can hit The Strip and try your hand at blackjack or slots.
6 Orange County, California
The Real Housewives call this home and you’ll love what it has to offer. Not only can you dine and shop where these divas have, but you can enjoy warmth and sunshine nearly year round. A trip to the beach and a stay in a luxurious hotel rounds out your reality getaway.
7 The Whole State of Hawaii
Surely Dog the Bounty Hunter isn’t the only show filmed in Hawaii, but it’s one you should see at least once. The husband and wife team of headhunters tries to locate people who have jumped bail and are hiding out from the law. They work well together and it’s fun to watch them rain down justice.
