Review & FAQ:

One of the cities within Greater Des Moines, Altoona boasts a friendly, welcoming community and plenty of attractions for visitors of all ages. The city's restaurants serve up mouthwatering steaks and barbecue dishes, and there is a 24-hour casino that hosts live horse racing events between May and October. If you're traveling with children, you'll likely want to stop by Adventureland, a large amusement park with more than 100 rides and attractions, including a waterpark with plenty of slides. However, there are also plenty of beautiful parks and playgrounds if you're looking for something a little more sedate.
