Review:
When it comes to Mason City, there are a few specific attractions that are sure to keep guests coming back time and time again. Home to a museum filled with over 500 marionettes and puppets, this exhibit showcases a large majority of Bil Baird's work as a puppet master. After a visit to the museum or Music Man Square, a tribute to musician Meredith Willson, guests can head to Northwestern Steakhouse for an award-winning dinner and then to Birdsall's Ice Cream for a scrumptious dessert of hand-made ice cream, a local favorite in Mason City since the 1930s.
