This chic destination is a place to visit if you want to see stars in Los Angeles.

While travelers marvel over New York attractions like the Empire State Building — named one of the "happiest" tourist attractions in America — little do they realize that this vast state has so much more to offer than its city life.

The magical setting is quite fitting as it's the birthplace of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" author, L. Frank Baum.
