Help finding Entertainment in Des Moines

[bellzisu]

Hey just wanted to throw this question out to everyone in Des Moines and the surrounding area.

What is there to do in Des Moines for general entertainment in the winter??

I know the simple anwers like bowling, going to bars, or seeing one of our few sports teams either in Ames or here in town. But what else is there? I loved Sprockets when it was open and if it wasn't for the high gas prices I'm sure the Nascar simulator would still be running at Jordan Creek.

So anyone got ideas??

The Botanical Center is beautiful this time of the year. Also tours at the state capitol.

I had fun at an Iowa Chops game. My wife got tickets to Triple Espresso (from her mom) for Christmas... It was actually really funny.

I am waiting for a decent weekend day when I can take my 4 year old to the skating plaza... it sounds fun...

The girlfriend and I went to Spamalot! the other night at the Civic Center. That was a lot of fun.
