Arena football is like roller derby on the field - it's fast, it's rough and it's exciting. Enjoy a cold one with friends as you watch the AFL's newly minted members, the Iowa Barnstormers, tear up the field. These games are perfect for football fans who just can't get enough hard-hitting sports action and entertainment.
There's a Raging River at Adventureland Park in Des Moines.

Go ahead and venture out to land at over one hundred rides, shows and attractions.
