A series: the Best of Des Moines: Culture

The best art cultural and shopping experiences in the DSM.

But here are my FAVES: greenwood park and the bill riley trail system, GREYS LAKE (w/ free yoga on saturdays!), the FARMERS MARKET is sooo awesome....

And I can not forget the best shopping experiences >>> The East village, Valley Junction, and the west glenn area (excluding the mall!!!)

I also can not forget some of the most recent additions to the West Village part of town! The pappajohn sculpture park makes for a great picnic or stroll and the DSM social club offers awesome activities like plays, belly dancing classes, palm readings, yoga, and lots o sweet activities!
