Study Ranks Minnesota Among the Top 10 Most Fun States

Minnesotans already know that our state is pretty great, but now the rest of the country knows because of a recent study.

This study ranked each state by how fun it is. Yes, 'fun' is subjective, but to determine these rankings, a wide variety of fun things were taken into consideration.

The study was done by WalletHub. Some of the variables that they used include:

Theaters per capita

Skiing facilities per capita

Restaurants per capita

How much it costs to go to the movies

Access to National Parks

That's just a few of the 26 factors they looked at to determine these rankings.

The Least Fun States in the US

But before getting into the most fun states, let's see which ones landed the lowest on the list, as the least fun states in the US.

The top 5 least fun states are:

46. Arkansas

47. Delaware

48. Rhode Island

49. Mississippi

50. West Virginia

I've never been to any of those states, but I have to imagine the reason Delaware and Rhode Island made the bottom 5 is because they're such small states.

I don't know this for a fact, but I feel like a lot of people live in those states but go to neighboring states for things to do because it's actually not that far of a drive.
