You can certainly phrase it in a way that doesn't convey the fact that they're not your top choice. Perhaps something along the lines of wanting to meet staff/faculty at other sites before deciding on what would be the best fit for personality, training goals, and interests?

Personally, I find it quite difficult to make any sort of ranking decision until after meeting the staff/faculty. During the interview portion of the internship match, what I had initially thought to be my "top choice" at any given point in time often turned out not to be the case after the interview
