You might think you know America's tourist hot spots, from the faces of Mount Rushmore to Disney's Magic Kingdom – but whether it's an off-limits room or a subterranean passageway, there's often more than meets the eye. Let's take a second look at America's greatest attractions and reveal their hidden secrets.

The Greenbrier, Sulphur Springs, West Virginia - With roots reaching back as early as 1778, The Greenbrier, a swish resort in southeastern West Virginia, proudly dubs itself "America's Resort". It's known for its plush rooms, spa and golf courses, but there's something more clandestine that usually intrigues visitors too. Beneath the resort there's a hidden bunker, used as a fallout shelter during the Cold War and intended as a safe place for members of Congress. Today guests can take a 90-minute tour of the declassified bunker (safety measures are in place). Were you aware of this secret?

Wright Brothers' National Memorial, Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina - You'll find this 60-foot (18m) tribute to the Wright Brothers, the "fathers of modern aviation", in North Carolina's Outer Banks – and though it may look pretty solid, you'll notice there's a door at its base. The landmark is actually hollow and inside you'll find alcoves that once held the busts of the brothers, and a stairway that leads to a fantastic viewpoint. Sadly, for the most part, the monument's interior is off-limits to the public, though it's occasionally opened up for special events. Were you aware of this secret?

MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada - There's no shortage of larger-than-life hotels in Sin City, and you'll no doubt be familiar with big names such as Bellagio, the Venetian and MGM Grand. But while these glittering accommodations flaunt themselves on The Strip, they still hide some secrets. MGM, for example, has a whole other hotel lurking in its belly: The Mansion is a super high-end string of Tuscan-style villas hidden within MGM. Reserved for the super-rich and VIPs, it's little known to mere mortals and its accommodations come with a butler service, private pools and chauffeurs. Were you aware of this secret?

New York Public Library, New York City, New York - Founded at the tail end of the 19th century, the Big Apple's sumptuous Public Library is a bona fide movie star, appearing in films such as The Day After Tomorrow and rom-com 13 Going on 30. And like many a veteran of the silver screen, it has a certain enigma about it. Most visitors will not be aware that there are a series of abandoned apartments within the library, once home to the building's live-in caretakers. Off-limits to the public, some are gradually being restored and put to new uses. Were you aware of this secret?

Fairmount Water Works, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - Now a National Historic Landmark, the Fairmount Water Works – the former heart of Philly's water system – is still a well-loved sight on the Schuylkill River, attracting history buffs with its interesting exhibits. But though the works themselves are no secret, few may be familiar with what lies beneath them. Underneath the landmark building is a vast abandoned swimming pool: the Kelly Natatorium. Usually closed to the public, it has been known to open up for special events. Were you aware of this secret?
