Florida Is 2022’s 2nd Most Fun State in America

Florida Is 2022’s 2nd Most Fun State in America

For those of us that live here in the Sunshine State, you don't have to tell us it's fun here.  Not many other states can give you beautiful weather year 'round, sandy beaches, amusement parks for days, great food and great people.  Sure we have a TON of traffic during Spring training and snowbird season, but we are used to that by now, right?  We should probably be number 1 on this list, but Florida Is 2022’s 2nd Most Fun State in America.

The folks over at WalletHub ranked each state across the nation to give us the Most Fun States in America.  The rankings were based on several factors from entertainment to food.  With the pandemic causing closures across the country and world, and Florida staying open much of that time, that could play a big part into Florida being considered the most fun.

Below are some of the factors that went into making the list, along with the list of the Top 10 Most Fun States in America in 2022 with Florida being 2022’s 2nd Most Fun State in America
