Things to do in Des Moines, Iowa (IA): The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

November 7, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

Today the capital city and cultural center of Iowa is revitalized. A versatile destination everyone will enjoy, Des Moines has an itinerary for almost every interest. Culture and art enthusiasts may want to roam through the Des Moines Art Center, spend the weekend museum-hopping or attend a Broadway-caliber performance at the Civic Center. Golfers can spend their time and energy teeing up at any of the area's fine championship courses. The Blank Park Zoo and the Iowa State Fairgrounds should be on the list for families. And gardeners will savor the fantastic blooms at the Botanical Center and the Better Homes and Gardens Test Garden. Mix it up a little and sample all this "big city with a small town heart" has to offer.

Light The Earth

Reviewed By LittlePaint - Urbandale, United States

I've been a fan of their work since they were in Valley Junction and at the Downtown Des Moines Farmer's Market. But their new showroom at Mainframe Studios on Keosauqua Way is absolutely amazing! Their primary creations are oil lamps made from natural stone, but they now also showcase stone sculptures & scarves designed from microscopic images of stone. Many of the studio's furnishings were created by other talented artists found at Mainframe Studios and are the perfect backdrop for their work. Light the Earth is a must see stop when seeing art in Des Moines... As is Mainframe Studios with its 40 or so studios. Check their website for hours, open houses, and special events.
