Bordering Des Moines to the northeast, Ankeny grew from a rail-line farm town into one of Iowa's fastest-growing cities, though its Main Street still moves at an easy pace. Visitors settle into hotels close to the SAK Trail and area lakes, then work through a lineup of restaurants spanning Midwestern comfort food to global flavors. With 70 destinations to explore, there's a genuine mix of small-town charm and city-adjacent convenience.
