Sports are here again and it\u2019s getting fun to be outdoors once more. So where should you be to experience the most fun there is to be had in the state?<br \/>\nHere on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Movoto Real Estate<\/a> Blog, we\u2019re quite fond of ranking things. You might even say we find it fun. So when we have the chance to make a list about fun places, the thrill for us is doubled. Maryland is certainly a thrilling place in general, so it was natural that we\u2019d work to find the 10 most spine tingling, high-octane places there.<br \/>\nWe put on some upbeat music, checked out all the wild and wacky festivals in the state, got hyped about our numbers, and eventually determined this top 10 list of places, lead by the most exciting of them all, Annapolis:<br \/>\n1. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/annapolis-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Annapolis<\/a><br \/>\n2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/silver-spring-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silver Spring CDP<\/a><br \/>\n3. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/baltimore-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baltimore<\/a><br \/>\n4. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/gaithersburg-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gaithersburg<\/a><br \/>\n5. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/college-park-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">College Park<\/a><br \/>\n6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/bethesda-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bethesda CDP<\/a><br \/>\n7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/parkville-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parkville CDP<\/a><br \/>\n8. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/rockville-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rockville<\/a><br \/>\n9. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/laurel-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Laurel<\/a><br \/>\n10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/towson-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Towson CDP<\/a><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re wondering how exactly we got this ranking, wonder no more. We\u2019ll explain it all in detail in the next section. Yes, it\u2019s math related, but we\u2019ll promise to keep it short and upbeat.<\/p>\n<h2>How We Created This Ranking<\/h2>\n<p>We started with a list of the 57 most populated places in the state (20,000 people or more). We based our analysis on seven criteria, using data from the 2010 U.S. Census and business listings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nightlife per capita (bars, clubs, comedy, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Live music venues per capita<\/li>\n<li>Active life options per capita (parks, outdoor activities, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Arts and Entertainment per capita (movie theaters, festivals, galleries, theaters, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Fast Food restaurants per capita (the fewer the better, because fast food is boring)<\/li>\n<li>Percentage of restaurants that are not fast food (the higher the better)<\/li>\n<li>Percentage of young residents ages 18 to 34 (the higher the better)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once we had that data, we ranked each place from 1 to 57 in these criteria, with one being the best. We then averaged those rankings into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/kind-of-a-big-deal-lists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Deal Score<\/a> for each place, and the spot with the lowest score was our most exciting.<br \/>\nNow that you know how we did it, let\u2019s get to the good stuff: the 10 most exciting places in Maryland.<\/p>\n<h2>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/annapolis-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Annapolis<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/exciting-maryland\/images\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Annapolis, MD\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user DVIDSHUB<\/div>\n<p>It really shouldn\u2019t come as much of a surprise that this place came in at No. 1, seeing as it\u2019s home to St. John\u2019s College as well as the United States Naval Academy. Knowing that, it\u2019s not really a shocker that people between the ages of 18 and 34 make up over a quarter of the population, ranking No. 12 for that criteria.<br \/>\nAnnapolis had the No. 1 ranking in nightlife venues per capita, music venues per capita, active life options per capita, and arts per capita. The place also scored fairly well in the non-fast food restaurants category, ranking at No. 17 with such eateries as the Sin Fronteras Cafe.<\/p>\n<h2>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/silver-spring-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silver Spring<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/exciting-maryland\/images\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Silver Spring, MD\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Adam Fagen<\/div>\n<p>Silver Spring is a city that ranked well everywhere across the board. The 71,452 people who live there are treated to the eighth most music venues per capita and the eighth most active life opportunities. People into the arts will find the No. 9 ranked facilities a welcome dose of culture, and foodies will enjoy the 19th ranked non-fast food restaurants.<br \/>\nThis place also knows how to party without skipping out on style or culture. In particular, Silver Spring knows a thing or two about the silver screen, or at least movies in general. The American Film Institute Silver Theatre and Culture Center calls this city home, as does the Silverdocs film festival and Docs in Progress.<\/p>\n<h2>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/baltimore-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baltimore<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/exciting-maryland\/images\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Baltimore, MD\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Liz Kasameyer<\/div>\n<p>Some people might be surprised that this major city didn\u2019t rank No. 1. We\u2019ll be the first to assure you that this is one seriously exciting place, and ranked very close to the top 2 places in its Big Deal Score.<br \/>\nBaltimore had the No. 3 nightlife ranking and the No. 4 population density. While young population ranking is only 10th, the music venues were 12th and the arts were ranked 13th. Really there\u2019s not a genuinely bad ranking for Baltimore, and the boring fast food per capita ranking was 29th, which was the best score in our top 10.<\/p>\n<h2>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/gaithersburg-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gaithersburg<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/exciting-maryland\/images\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Gaithersburg, MD\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: City of Gaithersburg<\/div>\n<p>Our No. 4 place is home to 59,933 people as well as some seriously awesome things to do. If you\u2019re looking to keep active and get out of the house, this place has the No. 4 ranked active life options. If you\u2019re looking to rock out and listen to some tunes, this place has the No. 9 ranked music venues, and you can listen to live music at Star Diner.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re the more sophisticated type, this place has the No. 12 rank for arts. Basically, no matter what tickles your fancy, Gaithersburg probably has something for you. And if you like festivals, there\u2019s definitely one for you. Craft festivals, music festivals, olde town festivals, and even a book festival all take place in Gaithersburg.<\/p>\n<h2>5.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/college-park-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">College Park<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/exciting-maryland\/images\/5.jpg\" alt=\"College Park, MD\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: University of Maryland<\/div>\n<p>We\u2019ll start with the biggest factor, and that was decisively the population age. The young population here ranked first by a landslide, considering that a staggering 70 percent of locals are between the ages of 18 to 34.<br \/>\nThe place also has the No. 3 music venue ranking and the No. 13 nightlife ranking. Again, with a name like College Park, that probably makes sense.<br \/>\nSpeaking of colleges, this place is home to the University of Maryland, which offers a ton of awesome events and venues for fun. Of course, there\u2019s college sports and concerts to attend, as well as art exhibits and festivals.<\/p>\n<h2>6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/bethesda-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bethesda<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/exciting-maryland\/images\/6.jpg\" alt=\"Bethesda, MD\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Conference &amp; Visitors Bureau of Montgomery County<\/div>\n<p>Bethesda\u2019s young population rank was 50th overall, with merely 16.7 percent of people being between the ages of 18 and 34. However, this city shows that the older crowd knows how to party and have fun, too.<br \/>\nBethesda had the fifth ranked active life options and the eighth place nightlife. The arts options were the second most per capita on our overall list, which means you can party in the clubs or enjoy a little culture\u2014whatever suits your fancy.<br \/>\nThis place also excelled when it come to exciting dining. There were fewer boring fast food options than other cities in our top 10, and the non-fast food restaurant options ranked No. 9 for that criterion. If you need more proof than just the hard data, you can stop by M &amp; N\u2019s Pizza for either a slice or some indian food. Yeah, I know it sounds like a weird combination, but locals say it\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n<h2>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/parkville-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parkville<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/exciting-maryland\/images\/7.jpg\" alt=\"Parkville, MD\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user David Hahn<\/div>\n<p>While Parkville may not have ranked No. 1 in any particular area, it posted some really solid numbers across the board. Some of this probably has to do with the dense population, ranked fifth, and the No. 17 young population ranking, with more than a quarter of the population being between 18 and 34.<br \/>\nParkville also ranked fifth in nightlife and fourth in music venues per capita. The No. 19 ranking for arts wasn\u2019t half bad either. There aren\u2019t quite as many active life option here, ranked third for that criterion, but there\u2019s still a lot to do and see in this little locale.<\/p>\n<h2>8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/rockville-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rockville<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/exciting-maryland\/images\/8.jpg\" alt=\"Rockville, MD\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Dan Reed<\/div>\n<p>With a name like Rockville, you&#8217;ve got to offer some serious excitement, and this city definitely delivers. This place had the second most active life options and the ninth best nightlife.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re more interested in culture, the city had the sixth best score for arts per capita and had a slightly older population, ranking only No. 38 for youth. If you\u2019re looking for something eclectic, you can hit the Free State Roller Derby for an adrenaline-filled good time. Really, this city has something for all types of people.<br \/>\nAnd of course, with a name like Rockville, there\u2019s got to be music. This city has the 10th best music venues per capita, with places like the F Scott Fitzgerald Theater and the Keeger Auditorium. Each year there\u2019s also the Uncorked wine and music festival. Rock on, Rockville!<\/p>\n<h2>9. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/laurel-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Laurel<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/exciting-maryland\/images\/9.jpg\" alt=\"Laurel, MD\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user eddie welker<\/div>\n<p>As far as events go, Laurel has LakeFest in May, an Independence Day celebration each July, a Main Street Festival, and RiverFest, which happens each October. It\u2019s all festivals all the time, usually involving music, food and fun for all sorts of people.<br \/>\nLaurel didn&#8217;t fall short as far as other exciting things to do. There\u2019s a skating rink, a dinosaur park, laser tag, and so much more. It makes sense that the young population is ranked No. 8 here, considering all these youthful fun options.<br \/>\nThe numbers also back up all these great amenities. Laurel held the No. 4 spot for nightlife and the No. 6 spot for active life. The arts here ranked No. 3 and the music venues per capita rank No. 14.<\/p>\n<h2>10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/towson-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Towson<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/exciting-maryland\/images\/10.jpg\" alt=\"Towson, MD\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Ben Snyder<\/div>\n<p>A third of Towson\u2019s population was between the ages of 18 and 34, and its nightlife ranked No. 11 with venues like Recher Theater. The arts ranked 14th and the active life 18th. Though the non-fast food restaurant options may have only ranked 26, there are still some great options for foodies of all varieties, including Pollo Amigo.<br \/>\nTowson is home to Towson University, which probably helps account for its youthful population as well as the variety of party options. As far as events go, the place puts on a yearly spring festival that offers music, food games, and more. If you\u2019re looking for more wild parties and events, you might be able to ask the students about Tigerfest, which is arguably their biggest event.<\/p>\n<h2>Where To Stay Merry In Maryland<\/h2>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s arts and culture you want, or you\u2019re more into the loud rock party scene, Maryland\u2019s got at least 10 cities that can cater to your love of adrenaline and joy.<br \/>\nAnnapolis lead the pack as a place with a young vibe, great music scene, and awesome arts. We will also give a shout out to small locales <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/takoma-park-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Takoma Park<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/hyattsville-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyattsville<\/a> for being pretty darn exciting. So even if these top 10 are a little too big for your liking, you can still find fun just about anywhere in the state, if you know where to look.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/exciting-maryland\/table.html\" target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Most Exciting Places in Maryland\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/06\/exciting-maryland\/exciting.png\" title=\"The 10 Most Exciting Places In Maryland\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Like This Post?
