Obviously outdoor plants would most likely die in the ridiculous midwest winter temperatures, so it’s not as colourful if visiting ‘out of season’. The gardens are open year round but during the winter. The building is even shaped like a butterfly!
Once hatched then get released into the Butterfly Wing. Opposite the Butterfly Wing entrance, there’s an incubator with all the different real life cocoons. I spent a while watching the butterflies, I found it very relaxing and quite therapeutic! There are several different species and a small water feature. Great if you’re visiting during winter as the inside is heated to a tropical climate (which feels amazing!). My favourite part of the Reiman Gardens, is the indoor butterfly house. On game days, if you DON’T have a football ticket, you are unable to park at the gardens. The Reiman Gardens share a car park with the Jack Trice Stadium.

If you have a ticket to the football game, you actually receive free entry to the Reiman Gardens on game day. 🗺 1407 University Blvd, Ames, IA 50011, United States They play (march?) around the whole parking area, almost Pied Piper like, leading people to the stadium, as if to say ‘wrap up your tailgating, it’s time to begin’! Reiman Gardens & The World’s Largest Gnome The ISU marching band then starts at the Alumni Center. The game I saw was actually my first experience of college football! As a Brit, the only tailgating I was familiar with is when a car is tailgating you by driving too close to your bumper! Tailgating is basically a bit of a party in the car park. It stems from pulling down the tailgate on a truck and just hanging out and having a bit of a chat before the game. It’s now grown into a tradition where people take along gazebos, grills, corn hole/bean bag games and will even ‘camp’ (RV) outside the night before the game. The stadium has a huge amount of parking, so on game days, tailgating is a big thing! (The Iowa Hawkeyes are another major college football team in Iowa).
The Cyclones play at the Jack Trice Stadium, which has a 65,000 capacity. Iowa doesn’t actually have an NFL (National Football League) team so college football receives a large amount of support.
