Things To Do

Here are a few things to do while you are in Des Moines! We have put a few of our favorite places!

Des Moines Farmer's Market

400 Court Ave, Des Moines, IA 50309

This is one of the best Farmer's markets in the country! Coleen loves this place! Stop by this place visit local vendors for food, crafts, and more! Saturdays 7AM-12PM Check out the rest of downtown while you are there! Court Ave, Science Center of Iowa, PappaJohn Park, etc.

Up-Down DSM + East Village DSM

500 East Locust Street, Des Moines, IA 50309

This is our favorite bar located in the heart of East Village. It is an arcade bar with great pizza and drinks. Unfortunately, it is only 21+. If an arcade bar isn't for you, then check out the rest of East Village. There are a ton of cute shops, bars, and restaurants!

The Hall DSM

111 South 11th Street, West Des Moines, IA 50265

Family-friendly. Food Trucks. Big tables for board games. Beer. Hammerslagen. Need we say more? For more of a brewery experience, check out Fox Brewing next door! You're pretty close to Valley Junction too, which is a cute area with cute local shops and restaurants. Check that out too if you want to shop!

515 Brewing Company

7700 University Avenue, Clive, IA 50325

We love the breweries around here, but this is our favorite one! Try the OJ IPA, and play some board games while you are here! There is a board game shop down the street (Mayhem Comics) or come borrow a game from Coleen's apartment nearby! Other breweries around we would recommend: Fox Brewing, Confluence, Exile, Peace Tree, etc.
