Orlando scored high for both its nightlife and recreational opportunities, which isn’t much of a surprise thanks to its abundance of theme parks.

And Orlando wasn’t the only city to rank high for its “fun” value. Miami came in at No. 3, with its nightlife score being just a bit higher than Orlando’s.

Other Florida cities on the list included Tampa (No. 17), Fort Lauderdale (No. 18) and Jacksonville (No. 37).

The full ranking of the top 10 most “fun” cities in the U.S. is as follows:
