Colorado always has something to do and that apparently makes us more fun then most states!

“With pure enjoyment in mind, WalletHub compared the 50 states across 26 key indicators of a jolly good time that won’t break the bank. They range from movie costs to accessibility of national parks to nightlife options per capita. For a more local breakdown, check out WalletHub’s ranking of the Most Fun Cities in America” 

  1. Florida ?????? (don’t tell the internet that)
  2. California
  3. Nevada (even if whatever happens stays there you still have fun)
  4. New York
  5. COLORADO
  6. Illinois
  7. Texas
  8. Washington
  9. Minnesota
  10. Louisiana

 

The 10 LEAST fun are:

  1. West Virginia
  2. Mississippi
  3. Delaware
  4. Rhode Island
  5. Arkansas
  6. Vermont
  7. Connecticut
  8. New Hampshire
  9. Kentucky
  10. North Dakota

Key Stats

  • California has the most movie theaters (per square root of population), which is 7.4 times more than in Rhode Island, the state with the fewest.
  • California has the most restaurants (per square root of population), which is eight times more than in Alaska, the state with the fewest.
  • Texas has the most amusement parks (per square root of population), which is 18.7 times more than in Hawaii, the state with the fewest.
  • Alaska has the highest personal spending on recreation services per capita, which is 2.7 times higher than in West Virginia, the state with the lowest.

 

“Living in one of the most fun states can boost your mental, physical and emotional health by giving you a wide range of activities to choose from, both indoor and outdoor. These states help residents stay active and socialize, and they’re also ideal for travelers who want to make the most out of the limited amount of time that they have to explore.”
