Things To Do

We're so excited you're here! Boone is actually the bride's hometown, and she has made a list of recommendations for the area below. Make a weekend out of it and explore both Boone and Ames. They are quaint but lovely little towns! ♡

Whistle-Stop Cafe

1102 Story Street, Boone, IA 50036

Classic breakfast is served at this fabulous greasy spoon diner. Allison has fond memories of her grandpa Hans taking her here often throughout her childhood. Hungry? This is a must try!

La Carreta

1215 South Story Street, Boone, IA 50036

Locally owned and operated, this restaurant serves up authentic Mexican cuisine that is sure to satisfy. This is one of the best restaurants in Boone, and mere minutes from the Cobblestone Inn & Suites!

Ledges State Park

1515 P Avenue, Madrid, IA 50156

A beautiful state park with gorgeous sights and beautiful walking trails. Just 2.8 miles away from the Cobblestone Inn and Suites!

Moore Memorial Park

3050 Northridge Parkway, Ames, IA 50014

This is the park we had our first date and got engaged in. You will adore the beautiful mature trees, red barn, and sprawling landscape. Truly a hidden gem in Ames. ♡

The Livery

806 7th Street, Boone, IA 50036

A beautiful historic building with local businesses including a clothing store, a spa, and more! One of Allison's favorite places in Boone.

Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad & James H. Andrew Railroad Museum

225 10th Street, Boone, IA 50036

A lovely little gem right in the heart of Boone. Come visit and see what makes Boone a, "train town". From Rail Explorers to the luxurious dinner train, this is a fabulous place to check out!

Jimmy's Barbeque Pit

717 Story Street, Boone, IA 50036

Classic local BBQ joint that serves up super good food. Fun fact: Kirk and Allison booked them to cater their rehearsal dinner!
