For the United States:

Olympic National Park (when I was 10 or 11), Shenandoah National Park (mainly Skyline Drive), and Catoctin Mountain Park (for a camping trip).

Almost all of them in the US I would think. I know I have not been to the one in Maine, and if there is one in ND, I have not been there, because I have never been to ND, and I have not been to Alaska, so I have not been to Denali.

Well, you might consider visiting this one, so you can lose your park virginity in a day trip. Smiley  I must admit I have never heard of it, and have not been there, so I need to add it to my list of parks not visited.

Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Yosemite, each a bunch of times (maybe 50 total visits or so?). Also, Pinnacles once and Joshua Tree once.

edit: Oh, and Haleakala.

These are the ones I can actually remember going to.

Acadia
Arches
Grand Canyon
Mesa Verde
Pinnacles
Redwood(?)
Yosemite

A shorter list than I expected, honestly. I only counted the ones where I've actually got out and walked around and seen the attractions.

I know I'm missing some from several non-North American countries because such countries don't seem to be as clear about what actually is a national park vs. some other protected area vs. even a private preserve. That said, I know I've been to:

Bulgaria:
Rila

Canada:
Banff
Cape Breton Highlands
Fundy
Gros Morne
Kootenay
Prince Edward Island
Terra Nova

Ireland:
The Burren

Turkey:
Göreme

United States:
Acadia
Arches
Badlands
Big Bend
Biscayne
Black Canyon of the Gunnison
Canyonlands
Carlsbad Caverns
Crater Lake
Cuyahoga Valley
Dry Tortugas
Everglades
Grand Canyon
Grand Teton
Great Sand Dunes
Guadalupe Mountains
Haleakalā
Hawaii Volcanoes
Hot Springs
Mammoth Cave
Mount Rainier
Olympic
Rocky Mountain
Saguaro
Shenandoah
Theodore Roosevelt
Voyageurs
Wind Cave
Yellowstone

To me Cuyahoga is the worst national park I've visited, possibly other than Hot Springs.

Pretty boring tbh, but Grumps, I would suggest that you could go to a concert at Blossom Music Center, as it's in the CVNP, and the Cleveland Orchestra plays there consistently during the summer and other popular acts have performances there often.

Biscayne was the worst for me but that was because I don't snorkle and the boat rides were all reserved when we got there. Tongue

Yeah, that's pretty much all there is to do there. Biscayne was the first place I saw tropical sea life in the wild (while snorkeling), something I've had the opportunity to do a number of times since, so it holds a special place in my heart.
