Things To Do

If you're looking for things to do on your trip to Des Moines, we've put together a few of our favorite places. We hope you love these places as much as we do!

Bellhop

440 East Grand Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50309

Daniel loves a good tiki drink, try something new and let us know what you think!

Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden

909 Robert D. Ray Drive, Des Moines, IA 50309

This was both our second date and where Daniel proposed! We loved talking on the bridge in front of the waterfall and the greenhouse with a Lego replica of the Botanical Garden!

Grounds for Celebration

2709 Beaver Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50310

This is a beloved coffee shop of ours! We love supporting local coffee shops, especially as our friends also own this shop! Bethany's go-to order is a blackberry white mocha.

Cosi Cucina Italian Grill

1975 Northwest 86th Street, Clive, IA 50325

This is our favorite place to celebrate milestones, big and small! We came here for our six month anniversary and to celebrate booking a wedding date! Bethany's go-to order is the ziti cucina, but Daniel loves to try something new every visit.

Charlotte's Kitchen

6150 Merle Hay Road, Johnston, IA 50131

If you're looking for a great local fried-chicken sandwich, look no further! As a favorite weekday lunch date, Daniel and Bethany like to try their weekly special and maybe their shake of the month.

Ingersoll Avenue

Ingersoll Avenue, Des Moines, IA

This street has many great options for food and drink! Eatery A and Lucky Lotus are unmatched for good food, and Chain & Spoke or Zanzibar's coffee are delicious!

Tullpa Restaurant

3708 Merle Hay Road, Des Moines, IA 50310

Try their lomo saltado, it’s the first dish we cooked together!

Ledges State Park

1515 P Avenue, Madrid, IA 50156

Go for a walk or a light hike around Ledges State Park!
