Hmm. Depends on what part of the year you're talking about. In the summer, kids like to go to the local pool and play with friends. Maybe go hiking with their family. Adults like to barbecue (or grill out, as we say here) and have parties. The 4th of July is the biggest celebration of the entire year where I am. In the winter kids play in the snow. Adults usually stay inside and snuggle up with the blankets, watching TV. We're not really that different from anyone in any other state. But yeah. I live in Iowa and have my whole life. :P

Iowa has the Field of Dreams movie site. The temperature is always nice in the summer (not so much in the winter). I'm sure you could find other little things to do, too, but honestly I wouldn't come for a long vacation.

There's a link in the Related Links section to the website of the state's tourism bureau, which has a more complete list of things to do in Iowa, including special events like music festivals and the like.

To amplify the sentiment above: some places have unique attractions that are worth planning an entire vacation around. Iowa is, probably, not one of these places, unless you have very specific interests (perhaps you felt Field of Dreams was the greatest movie ever made, and traveling 1700 miles to look at a field of corn with a Baseball diamond in it is your idea of heaven on Earth, or possibly you have a particular desire to see where Herbert Hoover or John Wayne was born). However, if you do happen to find yourself in Iowa, there are many things that are worth seeing and doing there.

(Also, your mileage may vary about the temperature. Iowa summers can be uncomfortably hot and muggy.)
