The Top Five Most Fun States in the United States are:
- California

The study also found California offers the most movie theaters at 6.8 times more than Delaware, which has the fewest. California also boasts the most restaurants, with Alaska the least.
Texas is the state with the most amusement parks, at 17.8 times more than West Virginia, coming in with the least.
If you are looking for a state with access to the most national parks, Alaska or Wyoming are the places to go. As for the state with the most marinas for watersports and boating activities, travelers should head to Florida or Connecticut.
