PHOENIX — If you’re looking for a city to visit for a good time, take a trip to Tucson.

In a recent study conducted by WalletHub, Tucson was ranked as the most fun city in Arizona and No. 25 overall in the nation.

The personal finance website compared approximately 180 United States cities based on 66 key metrics which are broken down into two main ranking factors: Entertainment and recreation and nightlife and parties.

In addition to Tucson, Scottsdale (30), Phoenix (48), Tempe (51), Chandler (84), Mesa (86), Glendale (89), Gilbert (108) and Peoria (154) were other Arizona cities that landed on the list.

Some of the Arizona cities also made sub-lists.

Peoria ranked last with the fewest restaurants per capita.

Scottsdale, however, was tied for first with the most acres of parkland per capita.

If you’re a big movie fan visit Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler or Glendale, which were all tied for third as the city with the lowest movie cost.

Las Vegas received the top spot on the overall list while Pearl City, Hawaii was last.
