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.

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
