Neuschwanstein is touristy, but I thought it was well worth the visit. Aside from the spectacular setting, it offers a bit of insight into the German mythology that was adopted by the 3rd Reich, and the obsession with Wagner is certainly interesting. Besides, it's an opportunity to take a nice photo:

Also, though I wouldn't exactly call it "fun," Dachau is a short (20 minute) train and bus ride and worth a visit.
