15 Fictional TV Towns We’d Love to Visit

Many of our favorite shows take place in fictional towns that we wish we could hang out in.  From Pawnee to Springfield, each location has a great cast of characters, iconic landmarks and a unique set of customs.

Check out our travel guide for some of TV’s most enticing towns. Here are 15 Fictional TV Towns We’d Love to Visit.

1. Pawnee, IN (Parks And Recreation)

Pawnee is the greatest — way better than stupid Eagleton! Parks and Recreation’s Leslie Knope knows how to plan a mean Harvest Festival, JJ’s Diner has the best waffles around, and it’s home to the smallest park in Indiana and a Li’l Sebastian memorial site.

Please note that if you’re looking to fit in with the locals, it is customary to place your entire mouth over the water fountain spouts when drinking from them.

2. Sunnydale, CA (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)

Maybe you don’t want to live over a Hellmouth, but it would be a great place to visit. It would be totally worth it to put up with a few vampires and demons to catch Cibo Matto playing at The Bronze.

If you’re looking to avoid the town’s notorious supernatural activities, legend has it that Halloween is supposed to be a slow night for vampires. Either way, you should probably carry a cross and a stake just to be safe.

3. Twin Peaks, WA (Twin Peaks)

Twin Peaks is located five miles south of the Canadian border, and twelve miles west of the state line. You can stay at the Great Northern Hotel and go for drinks at the Roadhouse Bar.

Those looking to check out the Bookhouse should note that entry is by invitation only.

4. Quahog, RI (Family Guy)

If you’re looking to have a few drinks while staying in Qhahog, you can head over to the Drunken Clam or the Pawtucket Brewery.

Visitors will also want to take note of the towns many celebrity influences including Mayor Adam West’s office and James Woods Regional High School.

5. Hawkins, IN (Stranger Things)

As long as the gateway to the Upside Down is closed, Hawkins, Indiana is a perfectly lovely town. Just don’t hang out near any pools alone at night or adopt any strange animals.

If traveling with kids, local teens can be found hanging out at the arcade and dancing the night away at the Snow Ball.

6. The Bad Place (The Good Place)

Maybe The Bad Place isn’t technically a town, but it definitely functions like one. Enjoy the colorful cast of townspeople, disappointing frozen yogurt shops, and take a train ride to the Medium Place.

Don’t worry about it being a stand-in for hell, The Bad Place has several redeeming qualities. After all, any place where you can get an all-you-can-eat shrimp dispenser isn’t all that terrible.

7. Storybrooke, Maine (Once Upon A Time)

It has the charm of a New England town with the added bonus of magic, royalty and Granny’s Diner.  It’s basically a real-life version of Disney Land but with fewer rides and more danger.

Pick up souvenirs for your friends and family at Gold’s Pawn Shop.

8. Fairview (Desperate Housewives)

It is worth it to visit Wisteria Lane just on the off-chance Bree Van de Kamp might bring you a casserole or a basket of her homemade muffins.

The mortality rate is ridiculously high, but the residents are generally friendly and the gardeners are unusually sexy.
