Things to do in Iowa, United States: The Best Dance Clubs & Discos
History and monuments dot this landscape almost as often as the golden farmlands. Learn about America’s 31st president at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum in West Branch. In northeast Iowa is the Effigy Mounds National Monument, a group of prehistoric American Indian burial and ceremonial mounds. This part of Iowa is also home to the Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage. The 37-county region tells the story of American agriculture, agribusiness and farm life and is affiliated with the National Park Service. In addition, there are five national wildlife refuges here. If you love history, imagine seeing the Amana Colonies, consisting of seven historic villages in 1855 by German immigrants as a religious communal society. Here you can also buy antiques, hand-woven baskets, furniture and clocks and locally made wine and beer. In Ames, take the family to see the Christian Petersen Art Museum, a newer structure that exhibits works of art by Christian Petersen and contemporary artists. You won’t want to miss the state capital of Des Moines, home to Blank Park Zoo with its naturalistic exhibits and more than 800 animals from five continents. You also should enjoy the Brenton Skating Plaza, an outdoor family entertainment venue.

1. Lake Robbins Ballroom

Reviewed By LakeRobbinsDancer - Ankeny, United States
Lake Robbins is one of the last standing Ballrooms anywhere. The dance floor is beautiful ... you won’t find any better. The floor is most important to dancers so they are able to foxtrot, swing, waltz and tango without twisting an ankle on a sticky floor. What’s left of the Big Band orchestras come every Sunday from everywhere in the Midwest. It is decorated for the Holidays. We dress up when we dance there but any attire is welcomed. The owner also cooks , waits tables and works hard to keep the doors open. $11.00 -$12.00 admission means everyone can enjoy a night out. Even if you don’t know how to dance... Lake Robbins will give you a night to remember

Go here on a weekend and you won't be disappointed. I have been here a few times and the owners usually work behind the bar on the weekend and are friendly people. Usually a good mix of people and good crowd of people on the weekend & often a band or karaoke on Friday or Saturday night; also a dance floor for such occurrences. Good drink prices, pool tables, darts, beer pong, juke box, patio, frosty mugs, and good drinks. All around good people. The only downside is this place can be hard to find. Putting signage along a main road would be helpful.
