This is the most fun state in the US, study says

ORLANDO, Fla. - If you're looking for an adventure-packed getaway, you might not have to travel too far if you live in Florida. 

A new study from WalletHub revealed the most fun states in the U.S. where "fun is not just an option, but also a way of life." The financial site compiled its list by analyzing two key categories: "entertainment and recreation" and "nightlife." That includes factors like restaurants, attractions, amusement parks, golf courses, arcades, beaches, music festivals and casinos. 

While it might seem like Florida is tough to beat in this case, it's actually not ranked No. 1. The most fun state in the country is California, according to the study. Florida comes in at a close second.
