The Pappajohn Sculpture Park creates a pedestrian-friendly entrance to downtown Des Moines. The 4.4-acre urban park has over 30 sculptures from world-renown artists and is a place the whole family can enjoy. You’ll find an oasis in the middle of downtown at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden. This lush green space spans 12 acres and contains an iconic geodesic-domed conservatory that contains a tropical forest. Outside are walking paths, a rose garden, an orchid collection, and much more.
Adventureland is a staple Iowa theme park that is fun for the whole family. You can spend an entire day exploring the 100+ rides and attractions. When you’ve had your fill of heart-pounding thrill rides, take a stroll down the Main Street, and check out all the shops.

Here you can feed the giraffes, ride the train, and visit the petting zoo.
