If you live in Minnesota, you’ve no doubt already made the best decision of your life, but there are a few more things you can do to truly enjoy the benefits of your home state. These 20 decisions will guide you to truly live your life in MN to the fullest.
- Invest in property on the water.
Flickr/cursedthing Chances are with over 10,000 lakes you can find just 1 to live on.
- And a boat.
Flickr/Tom Whitten To enjoy living in Minnesota you should probably have a boat.
- Visit as many state parks as possible.
Flickr/Randen Pederson All 67 parks are full of spectacular beauty, and taking time to visit each one is definitely worthwhile.
- Go to the state fair, and actually go on the rides.
Flickr/m01229 It might make you feel a bit sick, but it’s always worth it.
- See as many shows as possible!
Flickr/Tony Webster Minnesota is full of so many talented musicians and amazing venues, that you can’t live without seeing as many as possible!
- Always watch the sunset.
Flickr/Greg Gjerdingen Making the decision to watch each sunset will allow you to fully appreciate the beauty of the state.
- And stay up even later sometimes to watch the night sky.
Flickr/m01229 It is absolutely gorgeous. Hooray for living in the North!
- Forget the diet once in a while and chow down on those Juicy Lucys.
Flickr/Kim Molten cheese in a burger is worth every calorie.
- And also homemade MN ice cream.
Flickr/Michael Hicks It’s all delicious and we have so many ice cream shops that make their own flavors, you can’t live without trying some at least a few times a month… or day.
- And also MN craft beer.

- Buy some festive sweaters and spread joy all winter long.

- Take a fall foliage drive every year.
Flickr/Tony Webster Making the choice to see the spectacular fall foliage is always worthwhile. We are one of the best states for fall views.
- Get some mosquito netting.
Flickr/Wonderlane You’ll love your summers if you have a setup like this one!
- Have regular bonfires.
Flickr/Craig Enjoy the spring, summer, and fall nights with epic bonfires outside. We’re lucky enough to be able to do this, and should enjoy every s’more.
- Get a bike.
Flickr/Gail Simpson See Minnesota like you never have before while you pedal your way through the miles of scenic views.
- Learn how to golf.
Flickr/Krzysztof Urbanowicz Minnesota has some of the most amazing golf courses in the country, so you will absolutely love living here once you learn how to golf.
- Pick fresh apples.
Flickr/Alice Henneman Instead of the grocery store you should head straight to the source and pick some of the best apples you’ll ever eat.
- Start paddling.
Flickr/Randen Pederson Get out on the water and enjoy Minnesota like it’s meant to be enjoyed.
- Root for the home team.
Flickr/Shawn Ford You’ll have much more fun celebrating along with your neighbors, so make sure you’re cheering for the right teams!
- Don’t write off the cities.
Facebook/University of Minnesota A lot of people get tired of the Twin Cities. Driving in them and hearing about them. But our cities are gorgeous, clean, and very enjoyable to visit. Much better than cities on either coast, so don’t forget about their charm.
