You have a weekend to take a quick road trip. What's the best attraction/town in Iowa to go visit that isn't a big city?

So any attraction in Iowa qualifies?

 

[Fitzy]

Okoboji, Red Rock, or Rathbun.

If you're into nature, far NE Iowa is awesome.

The state's largest frying pan in Brandon is a nice day trip

This is what I was going to say. I am not a small town person but you can't beat NE Iowa and SW Wisconsin when it comes to beautiful scenery, hiking, fishing and many small little towns. Just be prepared to be stared at with a "who are you and why are you here?" look on their face.

A game at Jack Trice or in Hilton Coliseum.

Not really an attraction, but interesting no less: but if you have an interest in finding the dude that graduated high school 2 years ago, but still drives around with windows tinted and subs blasted like 'they know', you at least shouldn't have to go far.

Sorry, was in a small town recently and saw this, and realized it's a very 'Iowa' thing (probably just small town) and it's intriguing.

Otherwise echo NE Iowa. Some good hiking and scenery with little cost.

Agree. Between Pike's Peak State Park, Yellow River, and Effigy Mounds, that area of Iowa is one of my favorite parts to spend time.

Whiterock/Garst Farm in Coon Rapids. Tons of history + actual mountain biking in Iowa.

These are old memories, but the Tulip Festival in Orange City and Oktoberfest in Remsen used to be pretty fun.

Knoxville Races, if you're a racing fan.

I hear the Shiddle-E Dee in Clarinda is worth a trip

 

[MeanDean]

If you want to poke around junk etc, What Cheer Flea Market is this weekend. Go today or tomorrow, as Sunday is not a good day. I would normally be there set up but not happening this time. Maybe in August.

Isn't/wasn't there a big party barn up by Remsen?
