1. 5.0 Okoboji Classic Cars (96 reviews)
   - Way more than I expected!
   Friday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Speciality Museums
   
   
   Guided tour of this large car museum with 5-ft deep storefronts of Spencer IA, showing off tons of antiques, mannequins, wonderful mural throughout. (oh, and cars, too! :D ) Even we ladies who aren't particularly enamored of cars will appreciate it. I had expected to be able to wander through after the tour, but you cannot. So if you want to look into the storefronts, do it during the tour! See more..

11. 3.5 Kenue Park (2 reviews)
    - Nature Escape
    Spent 2-3 hours Parks • Scenic Walking Areas
    
    
    My dog & I took a scenic ride through the Okoboji area on a perfect, spring Saturday. A ride is nice, but a dog needs to sniff and my legs needed stretching. So we looked for a piece of bike trail we had never walked before. We hiked past a frog pond, some art sculptures and headed into a grassy field with a small lake. A pair of Purple Martins had claimed one of many birdhouses. We explored the park and climbed the observation tower to watch a pair swans: How neat! Later three muskrats raced by in what looked like a game of water tag. I plan to return! See more..
