How FUN would you say your state is?
Are you a top 10 state, bottom 10 or middle of the pack?
An annual study ranked all 50 states by how FUN they are, and researchers based this study on the number of activities and "things to do" available in each state. With pure enjoyment in mind, WalletHub compared 50 states across "26 key indicators of a jolly good time that won’t break the bank." These "indicators" range from movie costs to accessibility of national parks to casinos per capita.
The Mike & Carla Morning Show were SHOCKED (shocked) to find out that Nevada was NOT #1.
Now, the 10 LEAST fun are: West Virginia, Mississippi, Delaware, Rhode Island, Arkansas, Vermont, Alabama, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Kentucky. (Of course, not everyone's idea of "fun" is the same . . . that said, West Virginia seems like a hard sell across the board.)

From Lake Tahoe to Hoover Dam, even if you don't gamble or see a show on the famous Las Vegas Strip...there's things to do that fit everyone's budget. For that reason Nevada ranks #3 on the list!
#2 FLORIDA

#1 CALIFORNIA

The top spot on the list of The Most Fun States in America belongs to California! Like Florida, it has the beautiful beaches, the sunsets, surfing, the music of the Beach Boys and so much more which makes this state the most fun on a budget!
