VIRTUAL VACATIONS 

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. In which case, our collective hearts are about to burst as we anticipate traveling again. In the meantime, we’ve collected a few virtual vacations to help you map out your next getaway. After all, the planning and anticipation are some of the best parts of any vacation.

May 3-9 is National Tourism Week, so we’re highlighting some of our favorite Midwest neighbors, all within a few hours' drive. Take a virtual getaway to Omaha, Kansas City, Minneapolis and Sioux Falls and check out their unique experiences. And take a virtual spin through our new video series, #SofaSeeing, that will get you excited about experiencing Greater Des Moines again. Plan now and travel later. We’ll all be happy to welcome you with our famous heartland hospitality.
