Welcome to our weekly Thursday morning post about what's going on in the Des Moines, Iowa area. We'll share what we'll be doing, great finds, restaurants to eat at, shops to drop some cash at, and just all the great things Des Moines has to offer families.
What We'll Be Doing:
- Family Skate Night At Skate West
- Time with family: an early Easter celebration and a birthday celebration
- Science Center of Iowa
- Where we're eating: Court Avenue Brewing Company
Other Things To Do this weekend:
- The animated kids feature "Home" comes out this weekend.My favorite theater in Des Moines: Cobblestone Carmike Cinemas.
- Walk around Gray's Lake. It will be a bit chilly, but a good, crisp, spring walk is good for anybody, including energized children.
- Furry Tales at Franklin Avenue Library from 11 a.m. - noon. Get more info here.
- Another place to eat: Jethro's (any location). We had a great experience there this past weekend (read more here) despite a wait time.
