Maryland’s Ultimate Bucket List Items

Fact Checked by Pat McLoone

You only get one shot at life, so countless Americans are out there trying to check lifelong dreams off their theoretical bucket lists. People consider doing things ranging from the supernatural all the way down to the microscopic before they run out of time to do so.  

Whether it be a once-in-a-lifetime vacation to a far-flung locale or a personal quest like a long hike or marathon, Maryland residents have a host of things they’d like to check off the proverbial bucket list.  

National Bucket List Day is April 24, so BetMaryland.com took a break from Maryland sports betting to investigate what Maryland residents dream of doing before they die.

Starting with a list of top bucket list ideas from Bucketlist.net, we used Google Trends to see which ranked the highest, according to search interest score.
