Tour the Iowa State Capitol to learn about its history underneath the impressive 23-karat gold leaf dome. Learn about important historical facts including myth busters like this one: the State Capitol Building was not originally a horse stable. Take a peek at the legislative process and stroll the capitol grounds on the two hour tour.
History buffs, visit the State Historical Society of Iowa to learn the state's rich heritage. Explore historical artifacts and documents telling the story of the state as seen through the eyes of its politicians and citizens. The exhibits detail the ambitions, accomplishments and contributions made by the people of the capital city.
Enjoy family time together at the Brenton Skating Plaza, located on the Principal Riverwalk on the Des Moines River waterfront. Families spend hours on the outdoor ice rink during the winter, and attend concerts and other entertainment attractions during the summer when the rink becomes an event center.
