Welcome to Altoona, a high-energy city that serves as Central Iowa's unofficial entertainment capital. It’s got a totally unique vibe with vibrant and packed big-name attractions, yet it completely holds onto its welcoming, family-oriented community roots.

If you’re looking for things to do, Altoona is always buzzing. It’s home to the massive rollercoasters and waterslides at Adventureland Resort, the non-stop action at Prairie Meadows, and fantastic shopping at the Outlets of Des Moines and Bass Pro Shops. But when you want to take things down a notch, you can explore the miles of paved paths like the Gay Lea Wilson Trail, check out the uniquely accessible Enabling Garden, or hang out in historic Olde Town for a relaxed summer farmers market.

Altoona gives you the ultimate mix of big-city entertainment and great economic growth, paired with excellent public schools and a friendly, tight-knit neighborhood feel. It’s an exciting, fun-loving place to call home and build a future.
