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're Doing:
- Relaxing. Hubs works Saturday during the day, so I'll be relaxing with the minis at home for a few hours.
- Arts Festival
- Adventure Bay. Last weekend we rode the rides at Adventureland, this weekend we hit up the water park for Max's birthday!
Other Happenings Around The Metro:
- Blank Park Zoo
- Central Iowa Garden Railroad Tour
- Great Des Moines Botanical Garden. After you head to the Des Moines Art Festival, head on over to the outdoor portion of the Botanical Gardens. We haven't been yet but it's on our list for later this summer!
Central Iowa received an insane amount of rain, please check for road closures or other closures as some parks are under water.
