Things To Do

Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad

Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad, Boone, IA 50036

Visit the museum, have a meal on a train, or explore the railway on a rail bike. We take a trip on a dinner train together every fall.

Reiman Gardens

1407 University Boulevard, Ames, IA 50011

Walk around the beautiful gardens and hang out with butterflies. We love to sit with the butterflies and see the new exhibits every year.

Ledges State Park

1515 P Avenue, Madrid, IA 50156

Go hiking in the sandstone ledges, see captivating overlooks, or go creek stomping. This is where we had our first date and where we got engaged.

Iowa State University

Ames, IA 50011

Walk around campus. Some of our favorite spots include Lake Laverne, the giant Burr Oak outside of Catt Hall, the courtyard of Lagomarcino Hall, and the Campanile.

Dungeon's Gate

2525 North Ankeny Boulevard, Ankeny, IA 50023

Find a new board game to play, or book to read. This is one of our favorite places to find birthday and Christmas gifts for each other.

Pizza Pit

207 Welch Avenue, Ames, IA 50014

Enjoy some good pizza and play a round of pool in the attached bar. Our recommendations are the Four Alarm Pizza and the Inferno Wings, but only if you're prepared for something spicy.
