Home to Iowa State University, this friendly college town offers vibrant farmers markets and the stunning Reiman Gardens with its butterfly wing. Explore the historic city centre for local shops, catch a Cyclones game, or bike along the extensive trail network when the prairie wildflowers bloom.
Ames has been home to one of our sons since he left for college 10 years ago. Now he has his own family there and we love to visit this friendly town that offers so much to do. Reiman Gardens is beautiful!
