Des Moines, Iowa | 4K drone footage

Des Moines is the capital city of Iowa. A versatile destination everyone will enjoy, Des Moines has an itinerary for almost every interest. The gold-domed Iowa State Capitol building is among the 19th- and early-20th-century landmarks of the East Village area. The Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden has outdoor plant displays and a geodesic dome. From the vibrant sculptures of Western Gateway Park to the Iowa State Capitol, Downtown Des Moines is full of things to experience and enjoy.

I grew up and live in des moines and graduated at Roosevelt high school. I'm currently live in Washington state now...looking back of how much things has changed. ❤

[@chrisbiela]

I can't compare but I liked what I saw.

For someone who lives on the other side of the World. I know about Des Moines, Iowa thanks to Slipknot. They really put that city on the map. Kudos to them

[@chrisbiela]

It really is a nice city. Friendly people. I liked it. Thanks

[@tylerschmidt1250]

Agreed brother! I have never heard of it until I found out where Slipknot was, so then I visited Des Moines and it is now my home! 😁

For someone who lives in The U.S., Des Moines Iowa is a shit hole. LOL

I love Des Moines it’s a beautiful city in about the size of a Chicago suburb to me Des Moines feels like a suburb not a city so it’s just right

[@chrisbiela]

Well. It has it's climate. I liked it

[@FoxFlightDroneVideo]

Again... more art than science as the saying goes. This isn't about "flying around and taking pictures and video." This is about CREATING an experience for the viewer. Dayum...

[@enzoferrari88]

So does Des Moines have a night life like a street with multiple bars and restaurants side by side? Also, are their near by areas to ride a boat and jet ski?

[@chrisbiela]

Hmm. Good questions. Maybe some locals can answer it. Thanks.

[@Evanwilliams27]

Des Moines has a pretty good nightlife. Several districts to have fun like Court Avenue and the East Village. There are many water sources in the region, Saylorvile Lake to the 30 mins to the north and Lake Red Rock about an hour southeast. Raccoon River Park is a nice urban oasis.

[@johngearheart6173]

Court Avenue and the East Village Area which are near to each other are areas like this. Then there is Ingersole Avenue which extends from thee west edge of downtown further west is another bar crawl street, but it's not really downtown and walkable like the other two.

[@vidzz7397]

My dad works there and I have gone to the new skate park there

[@heatherarmstrong6862]

I agree with you you forget the Des Moines is urban not suburban it feels more like suburban area the then a City

[@heatherarmstrong6862]

It seems more like a Naperville Illinois Or Schaumburg which both of those suburbs of Chicago

[@chrisbiela]

@@heatherarmstrong6862 Naperville and Schaumburg are big suburban cities but not as big as Des Moines. In my opinion of course.
