There are various events available over the 10 day period and there will be something for people of all ages from petting zoos, giant fun slides and for the adults various arts and crafts and much more to keep everyone entertained for the day.

 

Prices for an adult are $6 and for children it is $3. This is a bargain because a full day’s entertained for about $20 for a family of four and this is excellent value. If you have any queries about visiting the fair or want to book tickets then you can contact 515/262-3111.

If for your last day you want an excellent piece of history, then I would recommend visiting the Iowa State Historical Museum. It takes visitors through the entire story of the civil war that once affected this great nation and the museum wants to share the brutal but amazing story of what happened many years ago and it shows how a civil war changed the United States history for good.

 

Another part of the attraction is the various battle flags that were used during great wars and with some, bullet holes and blood stains are clearly evident. All artifacts are real and it will amaze how the civil war was fought and later added to the timeline of major American history.

 

There is a lot to be learned and students of all ages can benefit from such a trip and it may even prove to help with those important exams that may be coming up, it may be educational but many exhibitions bring it to life in an interesting and detailed way.

 

You may only decide to have a light lunch and I would suggest on the final day, looking for a beautiful park as Iowa has many of these and settling down in the sun to enjoy one final meal in this wonderful state.

 

Just sitting back and watching the world go by can be an ideal option for many people and it gives everyone the chance to sit back and reflect the activities that has been done whilst on holiday.
