All our homeschool lists:

Key
  • Price not listed The cost is on the card, or the source doesn’t say.
  • Preschool Kids Teens The ages the venue states. “All ages welcome” fits everyone.

Tags are our planning notes, not the venue’s. Always check with the venue before you go.

How this list works. We copy details from each venue's, store's or library's own page and show the date we last checked. Cards marked "Also on our Des Moines page" are the same listings as on our main Des Moines page, shown here so you don't have to hunt for them. For discounts we only list stores whose own policy names homeschool teachers, and we note the proof they ask for. Stores can change their rules at the register, so check before you buy. We are not affiliated with any venue or store here.
