Family Fun

Just like the flowers and crops, your family vacation options get a huge growth spurt during the summer in Iowa. 

Start with Iowa's collection of award-winning museums. Be sure to check out the Sioux City Art Center, gaze at endless aquariums and river wildlife displays at the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium or interact with the hands-on exhibits at the Science Center of Iowa.

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