Grab a coffee or light bite at Vibes Kitchen & Bar. It is just a three-minute walk from the park and opens at 11:00 on weekends, so you can start early if you wish.

John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park
Walk to the John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park. It is a 47-minute walk from the Rollins Mansion, but since we are starting here, just arrive at the park entrance. The sculptures look striking in the warm, low-angle light of late April.
19:47
Head to The Cave DSM for a natural wine. This wine shop and bar is only a three-minute walk from the sculpture park. It stays open until 23:00 on Fridays, making it a perfect spot to stay after dark.
