Family Fun

As kids return to school, family time becomes even more important. Pack up the kids and head out for a relaxing weekend complete with amazing fall views and even more learning.

Iowa's collection of award-winning museums thrills visitors of all ages. Be sure to check out famous exhibits like the Baird marionettes at the MacNider Art Museum, gaze at endless aquariums and river wildlife displays at the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium or taste a variety of delicious flavors and learn how ice cream is made at the Wells Visitor Center & Ice Cream Parlor. 

For an exciting family adventure, climb aboard the train at Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad or reserve a Rail Explorers pedal car for a unique way to admire the breathtaking fall views.
