Adventure Land will not have you disappointed with the delicious foods on top of everything else. Don't forget to bring plenty of sunscreen!
3. River Tube Des Moines River
Having you gone tubing down a river before? This experience that is something both fun and not a whole lot of people know about! Floating down the river can last anywhere from 3-5hours and can be an abundance of fun with some great friends. The scenery is spectacular and the trip is very relaxing. What an excellent way to stay cool during hot, summer days. Spots can fill up quick for tubing, so do not forget that you have to make a reservation!

4. Papa John Sculpture Park
The park is a great place to be able to walk around and enjoy the various sculptures. It also makes an amazing spot to have a picnic, so bring a blanket and some food! Not feeling a picnic? This park is also located within walking distance of an abundance of restaurants and shopping, as it is in the heart of Downtown. You will have so much fun getting to see all of the sights and sounds Des Moines has to offer.
5. Principle Park
Going to an Iowa Cubs baseball game can be a lot of fun for entertainment! There is nothing better than cheering on your favorite team while enjoying a flavorful hotdog. If you go to a game, you have to stick around to the end to watch the magnificent firework show they put on!
