When it comes to recreation, history, and family fun, Iowa is great all-American travel destination. Iowa is filled with campgrounds, nature trails, bike paths, golf courses, and the kind of towns that define America’s heartland. It’s a state of Amish buggies, white-tailed deer, geese, wildlife refuges, river valleys, and country inns. As for things to do and see, the Amana Colonies, one of Iowa’s major visitor attractions, comprises seven authentic German Villages formed over 150 years ago. The crafts and culture here remain as much testaments of the past as they do learning experiences of the present. The Herbert Hoover Birthplace is also a great historic site, fully restored, including Hoover’s home, personal library, and working ironsmith shop. Iowa’s border along the Great Lakes offers a multitude of opportunities for fishing, boating, waterskiing, jet skiing, and sunbathing. Also in the Northwest region are Sioux City landmarks and the trails of Lewis and Clark. Further south are the picturesque prairie lands and rolling Loess Hills. Iowa is also famous for its rodeos and game hunting. For a bird’s eye view of the land, take a trip in a hot air balloon over the tallgrass of the prairie and witness a place where the buffalo truly roam free. Or, take your chances on a riverboat casino while traveling down the mighty Mississippi. Iowa is also home to “the world’s crookedest street”! So plan a trip to Iowa, and see what you’ve been missing. |
