Review:

Home to the Tulip Time Festival, held in late spring, Pella often draws crowds of over 150,000 visitors during the three-day celebration. With many gardens spread throughout a town that is filled with blooming tulips, visitors to the Tulip Time Festival are entertained by two parades each day, traditional Dutch food, elaborate floats, and many of the local residents dressed in Dutch clothing and wooden shoes. Pella is also home to the biggest functioning grain windmill in the U.S., a fully restored windmill from the 1900s. Visitors can find Dutch-style restaurants and entertainment year round, even when the Iowa weather turns cold.
