It’s safe to say that everybody has their own idea of what is considered "fun," whether it's going to amusement parks, hanging out at clubs, or enjoying outdoor activities. Well apparently, there are some states in this country that cater to those who like to have fun more than others, and now WalletHub is naming names.
The site determined their list by judging at all 50 states on 26 key indicators in areas of entertainment and recreation, like restaurants per capita, golf courses, movie theaters per capita and more, as well as nightlife, which encompasses things like the average price of beer and wine, time of last call, number of casinos per capita and more.
With all that in mind, California tops the list as the Most Fun State, earning a total score of 59.42 out of 100, and landing first in entertainment and recreation, and seventh in nightlife. Not surprising, Nevada, home of Las Vegas, lands on top for nightlife, although the state is third overall
