Cincinnati Cracks Top 10 in ‘Most Fun Cities in America’ Ranking
Cincinnati has been named the No. 10 most fun city in the U.S., according to a new report from WalletHub!
The annual ranking compared more than 180 cities across 65 metrics tied to entertainment and lifestyle. Data points included the number of attractions, restaurants, and nightlife options, along with costs like movie tickets, party access, and overall affordability.
Cincinnati’s top-10 placement was driven by its balance of entertainment options and cost which is a key factor in WalletHub’s methodology.
While larger cities often score high for volume of activities, affordability can impact overall rankings.

WalletHub’s rankings are released annually and are based on publicly available data, with the goal of identifying cities that offer a mix of accessible and varied entertainment options.
