Florida Cities Shine as ‘Most Fun’
Four Florida cities took top marks some of the most fun in the U.S. with affordable, year-round recreational activities.
TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa's events, restaurants and recreational opportunities make it one of the most fun cities in America, according to a new analysis from WalletHub.
The study ranked major U.S. metros based on dozens of metrics, ranging from restaurants per capita, to number of attractions, and more.
Overall, Tampa ranked 17th on the list, thanks to high rankings in the number of festivals per capita, restaurants per capita and fitness centers per capita.
Three Florida cities ranked higher than Tampa: Orlando (#2), Miami (#3) and Fort Lauderdale (#11). Las Vegas was ranked the most fun city in America.
"The most fun cities naturally include some of the most popular tourist destinations in the U.S., like Las Vegas, Orlando and Miami, but these cities are far more than tourist traps," WalletHub Analyst Chip Lupo wrote in a statement. "They provide a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities for all types of interests, from sports to theaters to arcades, and they have plenty of diverse restaurants to try. The top cities offer affordable options for year-round fun for their residents, which is good for residents' wallets and their mental health."
