10- Empire State Building
There is a little-known secret observation deck on the 103rd floor of New York's Empire State Building. To access the balcony you have to use several elevators and then very steep narrow stairs.

9- Mount Rushmore
This iconic American landmark has a hidden function. Behind Abraham Lincoln's head is a secret door. Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor who designed Mount Rushmore, wanted the monument to include written descriptions of the nine most important events in American history. But his plans were so complicated that he was only allowed to work in the recording room (a hidden room).

8- Eiffel Tower
The top floor of the Eiffel Tower houses a secret apartment and office that was only recently opened to the public. In 1889, Gustave Eiffel, the engineer behind this famous Parisian landmark, built himself a private apartment and office.

7- Brooklyn Bridge
Under the wide Brooklyn Bridge hide some wine cellars that are no longer in use. They were created to help add to the cost of the structure, as merchants would pay to store expensive bottles because vaults are always cool here.
The vault was built in 1876, seven years before the bridge was opened to the public. They were originally created as an act of compromise. The bridge's chief engineer, Washington Roebling, wondered what they would do with the two decorations during construction.

6- Grand Central Terminal
Many people would never know that Grand Central Terminal has been home to tennis courts since the 1960s. The Vanderbilt Tennis Club is located on the upper level of the terminal and features a doubles court, a junior court, and a gym. Play some tennis before you catch the train.

5- Lincoln Memorial
Anyone who has visited the Lincoln Memorial has probably noticed the typo, but they may not have discovered the hidden door. This leads to the foundations of the building, which is another monument in itself. After passing through the gate and down some stairs, you can find a cave-like structure with concrete pillars and even stalactites under the monument.

4- Flinder’s Street Station
An abandoned dance hall sits on the top floor of Flinders Street Station, Australia's busiest train station. The ballroom dates back to the old days of railroad romance but has been closed to the public since 1985.
Australian railway stations are very busy, with almost 100,000 passengers passing through each day. Few people know about the ballroom and its doors are rarely opened. Even during the annual Melbourne Open House parties, entry is restricted to secret golden ticket holders. It was introduced in 1910 by James Fawcett and H.P. C Ashworth.

3- Statue of Liberty
In fact, the torch of the Statue of Liberty has a space that shows the splendor of the city. People used to visit the room before German agents blew up the nearby docks in 1916. It sent debris into Liberty's vertical arm, rendering the stairs leading to the hidden room unsafe.

2- Disneyland
Over the years, Disney has essentially become a famous American landmark. Die-hard Disney fans may think they know all the park's ins and outs, but not many have heard of Club 33. This unique restaurant is hidden behind an unmarked door on the grounds of Disneyland New Orleans.

1- Washington Monument
Inside the Washington Monument's hidden hatch is a 12-foot miniature replica of the monument. Surveyors actually use it as a geodetic control point that helps synchronize all government maps. The small replica, officially called "BenchMark A", is part of a network of one million control points across the country operated by the National Geodetic Survey. These control points are the starting point for any map or survey and must be extremely accurate, so they chose something as stable as a miniature monument. Bench Mark A was last used after the 2011 Washington earthquake. Over the past century, it has increased by 6.2 centimeters at an average rate of 0.5 millimeters per year. It was installed in the 1880s as part of the transcontinental leveling program.
