I realize we have a glaring oversight in the Tourism listing for the moon, which I'm hoping to rectify right now:
Tranquility Base National Park. The only United States National Park that is not actually on Earth, Tranquility Base encompasses a 25-square-mile region centered on the Apollo 11 landing site. A transparent lunar-glass wall over ten meters in height fences off the actual landing site from tourists in order to preserve Armstrong and Aldrin's footprints and the equipment they left behind, but the wall is handwavium-enhanced and will provide magnified images. A nearby Visitor's Center houses a museum, a theatre in which a 20-minute film about the Apollo 11 mission runs on continuous loop, and a scale model of the site which can be explored with interactive camera drones.
Alternately, we can have all the Apollo sites and maybe some of the unmanned probe sites as distributed parts of one much larger National Park.
Staff might be a mix of Fen and Park Service employees shipped up from Earth.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
