Talking What are the great new American attractions

I was thinking of all the attractions in the US that draw people to come and visit (all the buildings, parks, landmarks, bridges, etc), and wondered what are the ones that were built, founded, or established closer to the end of the 20th century and on the 21st century. Those who are starting to be or already have been a popular attraction and probably will be the next Golden gate or Mount Rushmore. The ones that came into my mind were like Millenium Park with "The bean", Space Needle (1962), The skywalk in Grand Canyon. Can you guys come up with other ones? Would love to visit them all.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
The World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta (believe it or not, it's a huge attraction to foreign tourists).
The Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC.
The National Civil Rights Museum (Lorraine Motel) in Memphis.
