9. Blank Park Zoo

A trip to the zoo makes for a great day out for the whole family no matter where you may be in the world. Des Moines is home to the Blank Park Zoo and its convenient location makes it easy to get to. Make sure you keep the whole day spare because there is plenty to keep you occupied. The zoo is home to almost 1,500 animals including otters, snow leopards, and Japanese macaques.

For kids and adults, there are camel rides as well as farm animal exhibits that young children can get up close to. For adults without children, there is even the chance to enjoy some zoo brews on Wednesdays during the summer.
