Des Moines, IA 50317-2465 - 5152623111
- When married, we 'had' to go to the fair every year. To me, it's the same thing every single year, with one exception. There's always something on a stick that's new each year -- yep, you guessed it -- it's always something to eat. If I had gone only every 5 years ... more on Yahoo! Travel

- When you walk into the IMAX theatre and see a 5 story screen you know this is going to be different!! Literally any movie will emerse you're senses.

- This museum was rather small and the exhibitions were limited. You will not need more than an hour or two to tour it. We were surprised to see a Pacific octopus in an upriver Mississippi River museum. This animal should not have been there, being totally out of context with respect to the the... more on Yahoo!

- The museum does an EXCELLENT job of representing ALL of the Mississippi River. Lots of hands-on activities keep both adults and children interested.
