When is the best time to go to Norwoodville?

The best time to go to Norwoodville is during the late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to early October) when the weather is most pleasant. During late spring, Norwoodville experiences mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, with blossoming flowers and lush greenery. This period is ideal for outdoor activities such as exploring the Norwoodville Botanical Gardens or taking a leisurely stroll along the Riverwood Walkway. It's superb for couples looking for a romantic getaway, as the scenery is particularly picturesque and many local cafes offer outdoor seating. Early autumn also offers comfortable temperatures, usually between 10°C and 20°C, and the vibrant colours of the changing leaves create a stunning backdrop. This season is excellent for families, as the Norwoodville Harvest Festival usually takes place in late September, offering various family-friendly events, local produce stalls, and entertainment in Central Park. The cooler weather is also suitable for exploring the Norwoodville History Museum without the summer heat.

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay here despite having some plumping issues in the first room we were given. Upon notifying staff of the issues we were having, we got upgraded to a larger room at no cost. The staff were incredibly helpful and understanding. Both rooms were nice and clean. The free breakfast was also fantastic. I would definitely stay here again!"

Sonesta Essential Des Moines

8/10 Good

"This was a great room for our stay in Des Moines. I was curious about the breakfast after reading a few reviews complaining about it, but it was just like all of the other continental breakfasts; waffles, eggs and sausage, juice and coffee, fruit, cereal, muffins and toast, yogurt, cereal etc. The room was clean and the staff was nice and it was a good price."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Des Moines West, IA

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean and comfortable and our room was spacious. I was not at all happy when we arrived and was told the pet fee was $60 a night. That is ridiculous! We are responsible pet owners and I don’t mind a pet fee but that’s almost half the room rate. We will probably not stay here again."

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

8/10 Good

"This is our go to hotel…price is always great, get a voucher for a free drink, hot tub is amazing and their breakfast is always tops…this time they were renovating so banging going on, hot tub down and at breakfast the waffle maker broke and sausage was spoiled. We will go back and hopefully will be all up and running in their newly renovated domain."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

8/10 Good

"Stayed there prior to flying out the next morning. Hotel was a great affordable option for somewhere to crash for a night. Room was clean (though just a bit musty), staff was extremely helpful, there was a breakfast before we left and we had the option to leave our car at the hotel and take a shuttle to the airport for a very small daily cost. Would definitely stay again."
