The Amana Colonies - it takes a 20-minute drive west of the city to visit these colonies. If you are partial to excellent German homestyle food this trip is not to be missed. In addition, you can find some beautiful traditional crafts here.
Museum of Natural History - This old museum, founded in 1858 is certainly worth a visit. It has a Bird Hall, a Mammal Hall and an Iowa Hall. It has some wonderful exhibits for vistors to walk through featuring canyons, coral reefs, an Ice Age giant ground sloth, prairies, forests, and marshlands. A good call for the whole family.
