Whether you’re taking in a show or just there for the view, the Kauffman Center is worth a trip. It has impressive architecture outside and indoors.

These may be our top 10, but they’re not the only spots social media worthy. As long as you have great lighting, a fun pose, and apps like Instasize to make your good photos great, any photo you take anywhere is worth your feed!
