I thought it might be so very fun to have a thread where you list all the different types of services that you've been to. I'll go first:
Roman Catholic ("Ordinary Form" and "Extraordinary Form", though only once on the latter)
Byzantine Catholic (Ruthenian)
Eastern Orthodox (obviously)
Assemblies of God (several)
Southern Baptist Church
Jehovah's Witnesses
Churches of Christ
Non-denomiational
Interdenominational
Emergent Church
Vineyard Church
Coptic Orthodox

I've been to EO and Old Rite (once) services only.
I've also visited RC, UC, OO (Armenian) and Old Catholic Churches and Mosques and Synagogues.

So many of the various "Evangelical" denominations I can't keep track. While I grew up Southern Baptist, my family was on the Evangelist circuit, so I've been to probably every denomination that the South can boast of, from non-Denom to Missionary Baptist to Assemblies of God to Church of God in Christ.
Episcopalian Churches
A Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod)
A few Presbyterian Churches
Roman Catholic (no idea what the "form" was)
And, of course, Eastern Orthodox

Christian:
Eastern Orthodox (Greek, Russian, and Antiochian)
Roman Catholic
United Church of Christ
United Methodist Church
Episcopal Church USA
Presbyterian Church USA
Assembly of God (my mom joined them because they had a Chinese service)
Buddhist:
Japanese-style Zen (brief liturgy and meditation)
A Chinese general Mahayana service (brief liturgy and meditation)
Tibetan Buddhist (Kagyu): I've been to pujas dedicated to Green Tara, Medicine Buddha, and Chenrezig, also a Vajrasattva empowerment and an intense three day nyungne retreat where everything was done in Mandarin so I had a really hard time following.
Daoist:
I've observed Quanzhen and Zhengyi rituals but I wasn't really sure what was going on.
New Agey:
I once attended a "shamanic journeying" with a bunch of hippies, one of whom (a white lady) claimed to be the reincarnation of some Egyptian prince.
Islam: Been in a few mosques but not during regular prayer hours.
Judaism: One wedding.
My mom also took me a couple of times to a really creepy qigong practice session where a personality cult surrounding the group's founder (Yan Xin) was evident. Not sure if that counts as a religious service though.

Roman Catholic (up to March 2010)
Greek Orthodox (since March 2010)
That's it. One of my cousins got married in a building which used to be a church, but was restored as a historic monument. It is owned by the town, not a church. I haven't had occasion to visit any others.

In rough chronological order:
As a child in the Deep South I attended more Holiness services than I care to remember.
Zen Buddhist meditation halls
Roman Catholic masses
Anglican/Episcopalian masses
Eastern Orthodox liturgies of all stripes
Mosques
Coptic churches
In India I stayed away from Hindu temples, but I visited Sikh gurdwaras a few times. The free meal provided daily is a great place to meet Indians and it's a model of charity that Christians should try to outdo.

- Finnish Orthodox
- Church of Jerusalem
- various OO/Eastern Catholic in Israel. I was fairly ignorant about non-EO Eastern Christianity at that point so I have no idea who they were.
- Latin Catholic
- Lutheran
- Methodist
- Pentecostal/other Charismatic
- Evangelical/non-denominational/whatever
- Adventist
- A Mormon temple before it was closed from non-Mormons
- Freemason
- Orthodox Jewish. Or at least AFAIK the synagogue in Helsinki is theoretically Orthodox even though none or hardly any of the Finnish Jews are Orthodox.
- The Wailing Wall
- Sunni mosques
- The Temple Mount

Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall (with my grandma, as a young kid).
Pure Land Buddhist Temple in Canada.
Korean Buddhist Temples.
Thai Buddhist Temples.
Really weird Taiwanese Buddhist/pagan Temples.
Brahma Kumaris meditation group (no thanks!).
International Church of Christ (ICOC = a wicked "Christian" cult).
A few non-denominational Christian churches.
West Coast Ahousaht First Nation cleansing ceremony / pow-wow. Amazing (I lived on their island for 3 months building hiking trails)!
Roman Catholic.
Traditional Catholic.
Orthodox (Korean, Greek, Ukranian, OCA, ROCOR, and Antiochian).
Merely for interest's sake, I used to go for coffee with an elderly Wiccan/pagan lady, but decided to pass on attending their ritual thingy.

Presbyterian (Raised in it to age 14) Roman Catholic (Novus Ordo, as the Tridentine form was not offered where I lived until about a month before I moved, and only once a month) Eastern Catholic (Ruthenian), because somebody recommended that I try Eastern Catholicism instead of being Orthodox. It didn't take. Eastern Orthodox (OCA) Coptic Orthodox And I stayed in the hotel that's next to the mosque here in Albuquerque while waiting for my apartment to get cleaned up before moving in, if that counts? |

Latin Roman Catholic Mass with my mother and grandma a couple times when I was very young before she became a Protestant. I also remember playing on the altar a couple times real late at night when my father would go to talk to the Priests and we were the only ones there. Also a couple Roman Catholic funerals.
An Evangelical 'Non-Denominational' Church that I also went to school a for grades 6-8. This was my parents' home Church for a while and many of my friends who were former classmates still go here. I personally hated it though.
I once attended a Charismatic/Pentecostal Church service with my father before. We both hated it and thought it was weird but we went out of sheer politeness because one of my dad's friends invited us. Afterward we got Burger King and laughed about it.
And then there is my home Orthodox Church that I attend.

Why ? Long story short, canons XLV and LXV of the Holy Apostles. Adding to that the fact that I was not very faithful at that time and actually liked the RC Mass more, just for aesthetic reasons. |

-Antiochian Orthodox
-Greek Orthodox
-ROCOR Monastery
-Roman Catholic
-Baptist
-Church of Christ
-Church of the Nazarene
-Church of God (they were independent Reformed churches, I believe)
-Former Emergent Church turned Reformed (theologically Reformed, but kept non-liturgical structure of a casual and comedy-loaded sermon with a rock band after and without eucharist/hymns/etc; slogan was "Come as you are," and was directed toward those who were disenfranchised with "traditional" church)
And plenty of other Protestant churches that I cannot remember, or have the most redundant and/or uninformative names.
-Seventh-day Adventist
-Latter-day Saints (Mormon)
Also, visited a Mosque but left just as prayer service was starting.

actually liked the RC Mass more, just for aesthetic reasons.
I still do and there's nothing wrong with that. If you're living in US, you could try attending WRO parish. Nope, I'm living in Greece and there's no WRO parish around here. Anyway, aesthetics are no more a problem. |

Ooops! How could I forget to add Roman Catholic to my list?
I've visited many Catholic churches in the US and a few in Europe. At all of them, except one, I saw the Novus Ordo celebrated. At one of them I saw the EF celebrated, and I liked it much better than the modern version.

You just reminded me of the time I visited the ruins of a Greek Orthodox church in a greek island. The local priest and the community were trying to restore it and so they had a service there, late in the afternoon. It was a unique experience! Being surrounded by ruins, with nothing but the sky above us, birds and bats flying around, the priest's voice being heard in the vicinity without microphones... I felt that the whole world was joining the service. |
