Notes
This is not a subkey of tourism=attraction since the attractions are usually part of bigger feature, such as an amusement park. As of 2022-04-07, 30.7% of the attraction=* tags are paired with a tourism=attraction tag.
As of April 2022, attraction=animal is still the most common value for the attraction key with roughly 40% of the values.[1]
