GO OUTSIDE
By Eleni Upah
The fall and winter seasons may see dramatic drops
in temperatures in Iowa, but the outdoor activities
still abound. Fall and Halloween festivals can be
found in various cities, and ice-skating and holiday
light shows keep residents from hibernating for the
duration of the cold months. Spend a weekend at
a pumpkin patch or put on plenty of layers for a
cold-weather run — either way, there are too many
reasons to stay indoors during Iowa’s winter.

Celebrate the New Year with
the entire family at GuideOne
ImaginEve in downtown Des
Moines. From 4-8 p.m., Hy-Vee
Hall will be filled with kids and
families as they enjoy inflatable
rides and bounce houses, carnival
games with prizes, costumed
characters and mascots, a toddler
zone and dancers. A Tween Zone
is available for kids ages 10 and
older. The event leads up to a Times
Square-like confetti drop at 8 p.m.
and a fireworks show at 8:15 p.m.
It’s a unique, alcohol-free event kids
will love.
What would New Year’s Eve be
without a champagne toast at the
end of the countdown? The Court
Avenue district in downtown Des
Moines is one of the most exciting
venues for ringing in the New Year.
Heroes and The Exchange
both offer New Year’s Eve parties
with excellent drink specials. Show
up early to claim a table, as both
12
locations fill up quickly. There’s
nothing like Court Avenue when it
comes to celebrating.
For a safe end to a fun — and
probably long — night out, call a
taxi to get back to the hotel safely
on New Year’s Eve. Yellow Cab
Company is open 24 hours a
day, seven days a week, but since
traffic will be at a maximum on
the holiday, it’s better to call early
than waiting for last call. And don’t
forget to make reservations at the
Embassy Suites downtown. The
East Village hotel is just blocks
away from Court Avenue, making
travel time shorter and the decision
for where to get breakfast even
easier.
Dec. 31 doesn’t have to be all
about New Year’s Eve celebrations.
For those who would rather spend
the day being active outside, the
Polk County Conservation offers a
snowshoe hike at Easter Lake
Park. For $5 guests can rent a
pair of snowshoes and experience
the fun of snowshoeing outdoors.
This is for ages 6 and older. Don’t
forget to wear warm boots and
dress in layers.

Exercising doesn’t have to end with summer. Des
Moines has year-round fitness events, including themed
races and bike rides. Dress warm for the annual Tour
de Lights, which has a family night for short runs and
a fitness night with an 11-mile bike ride through the
holiday lights at Water Works Park. Who says you
can’t start your New Year’s resolutions early?

FOOTBALL:
PLACES TO WATCH THE BIG GAME
Football season is here, and that
means sports bars will soon be
filled with eager fans. So where’s
the best place to watch the big
game? Des Moines has several
great options, both for college and
NFL games.
Johnny’s Hall of Fame, located
in the Court Avenue District of
downtown Des Moines, is a place
for all things sports. During football
season, fans can catch both college
and pro games while enjoying a
great selection of foods — from
nachos and wings to pizza and
burgers — and a full bar. With
TVs located on each and every
wall, there’s not a bad seat in the
house. Johnny’s also hosts parties:
groups of 10 to 200 people can
be accommodated, and food and
drink specials are based on the
size.
Those looking to join a mix of
Iowa State and University of
Iowa fans should check out
Wellman’s Pub and Rooftop
in West Des Moines. The building
20
accommodates dozens of people,
but the patio and rooftop can’t be
forgotten in those warm fall months.
Wellman’s opens for brunch on
weekends, perfect for morning
games. The kitchen is open all day,
as well as the bar, which sometimes
offers specials on shots after each
touchdown in some games. Get to
Wellman’s early to choose your
seats and settle in for a few hours.
And finally, Buffalo Wild Wings
has several metro locations where
the food and football atmosphere
outdo any tailgate. The true
football fans can appreciate
Buffalo Wild Wings’ commitment
to sports, especially considering
the restaurant offers a team
name generator on its website
and special draft kits and party
reservations. When it comes time
to watch the teams in action, take
a seat near one of the many TV
screens, both large and extra-large.
And don’t forget to order extra
sauce for all those wings.
If watching football for hours at
a time isn’t at the top of your
entertainment list, try catching
a show at the Des Moines
Civic Center. The Des Moines
Performing Arts has a full schedule,
including The Illusionists, Straight
No Chaser and Rob Thomas.
Instead of the screaming cheers
of raucous football fans, enjoy a
special evening out at one of Des
Moines’ best venues for live shows.

By Eleni Upah
Des Moines has made itself into a Midwestern
hub for the arts, featuring museums, shows
and concerts that can hold their own against
many other cities. Festivals are still going
strong in the fall with Oktoberfest and similar
events, and the Civic Center is bringing
award-winning shows “Dirty Dancing” and
“Newsies” to local audiences.

PUMPKINS &
HALLOWEEN
U
AN AL s
Fall is a time for drinking hot apple
cider, making piles of leaves and
picking out the perfect pumpkins
to carve for Halloween. Pumpkin
patches are the perfect setting
for family day trips, weekend
excursions with friends and even
dates. Central Iowa has plenty of
patches to choose from, and it’s
even got a few apple orchards
where visitors can buy foods and
ciders or pick apples straight from
the trees. It’s not really fall without a
homemade apple or pumpkin pie,
and what better to make them with
than homegrown ingredients from
the heartland?
Spend a day picking out pumpkins
at Howell’s Pumpkin Patch
in Cumming or The Pumpkin
Ranch in Winterset. These places
offer more than pumpkins, though.
Howell’s offers a corn maze, oldfashioned wagon ride, a Kiddie
Korral for children to play, food
and shopping. The Pumpkin Ranch
appeals to the more adventurous
families with its zip lines, two 30foot slides, horseback rides and
other family-friendly activities.
Now for something on the sweeter
side, Center Grove Orchard
24
offers more than 20 different kinds
of apples to be picked starting in
September. Apple picking is a fun
experience for all ages, and the fun
doesn’t stop there. Center Grove
has dozens of kid-friendly activities,
including hayrides, mazes, pedal
tractors and farm animals. The
Iowa Orchard and Wills
Family Orchard offer apple and
pumpkin picking, as well as various
food items for sale and family
activities. No matter where you
go, you’ll be making memories that
your kids will remember for years to
come.
For those who think Halloween
is all about the scare, plan a trip
to Sleepy Hollow’s Haunted
Scream Park, one of the
largest Halloween theme parks
in the Midwest. Sleepy Hollow
is introducing new attractions in
2015, along with old favorites such
as the Castle of Blood, Nightmare
Estates and Fog Maze. This
haunted house is not for the faint of
heart.
Interested in something a little
different than the regular pumpkinand-ghost Halloween? Stop by
Blank Park Zoo for Night Eyes,
celebrating its 25th year of train
rides, sweet treats and creatures.
It’s family-friendly and runs from
Oct. 15-18 and 22-25.

BE ENTERTAINED
By Eleni Upah
There’s much to keep both residents and
tourists in Des Moines entertained, especially
throughout the holiday months. Fall festivals,
Halloween events for the kids and appearances
by Santa will keep the family entertained, while
New Year’s Eve parties and football specials
at the sports bars will keep nightlife in the area
going strong. Don’t expect the good times to
stop when the temperatures drop.

VALENTINE’S DAY

It may be hard to think of
Valentine’s Day plans in the fall, but
the romantic holiday will be here
before you know it — which means
reservations will soon start pouring
in. Couples who don’t act fast will
risk fully booked restaurants and
missing out on couple’s massages.
When you do start to plan the
special evening, think ahead and
be prepared.
For the classic couples, flowers and
jewelry will likely be the first stop.
Call Boesen the Florist to create
the perfect flower arrangement,
whether it’s roses, orchids or any
other blooms. Boesen has a long
list of popular designs, and orders
can be made easily online. They’ll
be ready and waiting when your
sweetie walks in the door. And, for
those who want to go a step further,
Josephs is ready to fill everyone’s
jewelry needs. Find old, new and
one-of-a-kind designs that are made
of the highest quality.
First start off with a luxurious spa
day for two. The East Village
Spa specializes in various massage
techniques, including hot stone
and indulgent foot massages. It’s
the perfect way to enjoy a relaxing
time together as a couple, free of
daily distractions and stress.
Next, let your date know tonight
is a special occasion by surprising
him or her with a limo and a
favorite bottle of wine. Rent a
chauffeured car or limousine from
Luxxor Limousines and travel
to your destination in style. Stop by
WineStyles first to pick up a bottle
of wine, and let it chill in the limo.
These are the extra touches that
will make it the perfect start to an
unforgettable evening.
Finally, it’s time for dinner. Reserve
a private table for two at Eatery
A, where the atmosphere is made
for romance. Wine is served by
the glass or bottle, but cocktails
and beer are also available. The
Mediterranean fare will leave
your taste buds smiling all the way
through dessert. It’ll be the perfect
end to the perfect Valentine’s Day.
The typical Valentine’s Day isn’t for
everyone, though. For a change of
pace, hit the liquor store and put
your game face on for a night at
Ricochet. It’s a BYOB game room
where couples — or groups — can
play ping pong, foosball, darts and
bags. If you’d prefer to be active
and laughing than gazing into each
other’s eyes, Ricochet is the place to
go. Keep the evening lighthearted
and fun with a little friendly
competition. It’s a date everyone is
sure to remember.

EAT & DRINK
By Eleni Upah
Pumpkin spice lattes aren’t the only way to celebrate
fall with a beverage. Drink your way through fall with
Several Oktemberfest celebrations, but don’t miss the
seasonal pumpkin and squash flavors some of the
top chefs in the area will bring into their restaurants.
Central Iowa has many great restaurants that bring
in locally farmed ingredients, so only the freshest
foods are served. And when the cold weather strikes,
visitors can find establishments with an adult twist
on classic favorites, like spiked hot chocolate — the
perfect remedy for a snowy Iowa winter.
