WalletHub took a close look at 2017’s Most Fun Cities in America – and they determined that the Cities of Riverside and San Bernardino, in California’s Inland Empire, and even the CIty of Garden Grove are funner than the City of Santa Ana!

The number one fun city was of course Las Vegas, NV – which will be even funner when the Raiders football team moves there in a couple of years. Top-ranked cities in California included San Francisco, rated #7; San Diego, rated #10, Los Angeles, rated #23; Sacramento, rated #27; Oakland, rated #52; Long Beach, rated #71; and Garden Grove, rated #89.

WalletHub’s data crunchers compared the 150 largest U.S. cities across 58 key metrics, ranging from fitness clubs per capita to movie costs to average open hours of breweries. Cities were ranked according to Entertainment and Recreation, Nightlife and Parties and Costs.

  1. While funner is a regular comparative of the adjective fun, the comparative more fun is much more common. The use of fun as an adjective is itself still often seen as informal or casual and to be avoided in formal writing, and this would apply equally to the comparative form.

    1. But while some of the stodgier English reference books still pretend fun is not an adjective, most English speakers moved on long ago, and the adjectival fun is rarely questioned. Ultimately, if we accept that fun is an adjective—and we have no choice, because it’s common—then we also have to accept funner and funnest. Comparatives and superlatives of one-syllable adjectives usually take the -er and -est endings, and there’s no good reason fun should be any different.
