Des Moines and related destinations

Between the banks of two rivers, a city of surprising delights awaits. The John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park displays world-class art under open skies, while Wooly's hosts bands that tomorrow everyone will claim they discovered first. Science Center of Iowa makes learning feel rebellious, with exhibits that encourage touching everything your grade school teacher forbade. Blank Park Zoo houses creatures both exotic and local, the latter looking slightly embarrassed about their Midwestern modesty. The Des Moines Civic Center brings Broadway shows to heartland audiences who appreciate them with genuine enthusiasm. For a perfect afternoon, grab local beer and watch the sunset paint the Walnut Street Bridge in colors that seem almost suspiciously beautiful.
