Funnest isn't wrong. Best is already a superlative, and it's wrong to add the -est ending to make it more superlative. Fun is changed to the superlative by adding an 'n' and the -est ending, OR by saying most fun.

Both forms are correct, though some people frown on funnest.

On an interesting note, my wife says more fun is correct (I say funner), but she and I both agree that funnest sounds just fine.
