Learn more about Indianola

Look skyward during the National Balloon Classic when dozens of colorful hot air balloons transform the Iowa sky into a floating canvas. Between balloon gazing, catch world-class performances at the Des Moines Metro Opera, which attracts vocal talent that seems improbable for a town this size. Simpson College adds youthful energy to the town square, where locally-owned shops maintain a refreshing lack of chain-store sameness. Wine enthusiasts can sample surprisingly good vintages at Summerset Winery, while nature lovers find respite at Lake Ahquabi State Park. The National Balloon Museum chronicles the surprisingly dramatic history of human flight in vessels that seem too whimsical to actually work.
