Are We having Fun Yet?

Everything is bigger in Texas, including our capacity to have fun.  WalletHub examined 26 metrics to establish which states have the most fun, including entertainment and recreation, and nightlife.

According to their assembled data, Texas ranks number one in restaurants per capita, movie theaters per capita, and amusement parks per capita.  We’re fifth in fitness centers per capita, and tenth in performing arts theaters.
