Study Reveals the Most Fun City in Texas

A study was conducted to determine the most fun cities in the United States and I 100% agree with the results for Texas. 

Not everyone will agree on what makes a city fun. For some, it will be more about theme parks, for others it will be about fine dining, and some will define a fun city as one that has plenty of live entertainment like music and stand-up comedy. 

I’m one of those people who doesn’t care much for theme parks. It’s all about good food and nightlife when I’m looking to have a good time.

And it doesn’t get much better than Austin when it comes to good food and nightlife. So, I wasn’t in the least bit surprised when I saw that Austin was the most fun city in the Lone Star State, according to WalletHub. 

In fact, Austin is one of the most fun cities I’ve ever visited, period. That’s coming from someone who spent five years in the Navy and has traveled all over Europe and the Caribbean.  

Houston fared well in the study also, landing at Number 9 on the list. I’ve only been to Space City a couple of times, but I did have a ton of fun while I was there.
