Oh Malo! In downtown Des Moines on Mulberry St. I could not GET OVER the amazing food, outdoor seating, and affordable pricing. Girl's Night on a lovely summer evening. We stayed too long, ate too much, and spent too little. The signature margarita- don't miss it. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/entertainment/dining/2014/05/12/malo-restaurant-opening-des-moines-social-club-george-formaro-scott-stroud/9001023/

Horse racing at Prairie Meadows. Mid April through Mid October Families can be outside close to the action or inside the non-casino area. If you wait in line prior to race time you can have the tables of people that don't show up that pay for tables each season. http://m.prairiemeadows.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.prairiemeadows.com%2Flivehorseracing%2Flive-racing%2F Meadows also has a hotel, convention space, and casino.

www.musicunderthecanopy.com In the summer Brenton Skating Plaza is transformed into a live concert venue. The space is also available to rent for private functions. Lovely setting with views of downtown and the river. Family friendly.
The House of Mercy Game Show Gala is a fun fundraiser. The style is that of family feud. Heavy appetizers, cocktails, and join your friends or co-workers at a table. It's around $100 p/p but once you watch the video they present and see the children who are getting their families back, you won't judge your own bad day the same ever again. https://www.foundation.mercydesmoines.org/page.aspx?pid=352
BCycle So we were pretty excited about trying this out....but we took our kids and you have to be 18. Soooo still something to do but for adults. The plan was to ride to the East Village for dinner after visiting the sculpture garden. A datenight activity and still worth checking out https://desmoines.bcycle.com/
