Ames and related destinations

Wander through Iowa State University's campus, where the Campanile tower chimes across manicured lawns and Reiman Gardens showcases butterflies in glass-enclosed splendor. The Main Street Cultural District offers shops in historic buildings that escaped the architectural blandness afflicting most Midwestern downtowns. Cyclones fans create seismic activity at Jack Trice Stadium and Hilton Coliseum, their enthusiasm suggesting sports here might be religion rather than hobby. The Octagon Center displays local art that's surprisingly sophisticated for a town this size. Between government research facilities and the university, Ames maintains a curious blend of agricultural roots and scientific innovation – a college town where test tubes and tractors coexist in unexpected harmony.
