Where's the beef? It's at the Iowa State Fair, also home to the famous annual Butter Cow Sculptures tradition. You'll be attending the official state fair where the state shows off its agriculture might. For 11 days, there is a corral full of indoor and outdoor exhibits, rides, craft shows, musical acts and wild attractions.
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.
Love soars over Des Moines at Z Balloon Adventures. Float aloft on a magical hot-air balloon ride, enjoying a flight that offers breathtaking views close enough to see the city, yet far away and above the countryside. Enjoy spending time with your sweetheart while love takes on a flying leap!
