| The passageways are cut into a big field north of Des Moines,
and we had a great time there one Sunday afternoon, wandering
through miles of maize. Iowa, the state may seem like nothing
but a maze of cornfields. There certainly are a lot of farms and
corn, but there's much more. In fact, there's enough to see and
do in Iowa that tourism is now the third largest industry in the
state. A mixture of enjoyable attractions: historic sites,
including Native American burial grounds, frontier outposts and
19th-century towns; museums, including traditional but
impressive sites like the Des Moines Arts Center and
one-of-a-kind collections that focus on everything from the
lives of Norwegian immigrants to farm toys; and nostalgic
journeys, whether by riverboat, train or country road. Top Cities in Iowa
