Le Mars

Must Do's

Le Mars is recognized as "The Ice Cream Capital of the World" because more ice cream is made here by a single privately held, family owned company (Wells' Enterprises, Inc., makers of Blue Bunny Ice Cream) than in any other city in the world! Learn more about this title and taste the flavors that made it come true at Wells Visitor Center & Ice Cream Parlor. After ice cream, explore the community on foot and discover Alley Art & Historic Murals throughout. Discover more artistic wonders at the Le Mars Art Center or learn about area history at the Plymouth County Historical Museum. Catch nationally touring performers at the Browns Music Theater. Also, be sure to stop by Wise I Brewing Company to sample their wide variety of craft brews. 

Outdoor Adventures & Exciting Eateries

Grab your bike or walking shoes and hop on the Le Mars Recreational Trail to discover over 10 miles of rural beauty. Or hop in the car and take off on the Loess Hills National Scenic Byway for the best views of the area's prairie- and forest-covered bluffs.

After working up an appetitie, head to Archie's Waeside for a taste of their infamous steaks, seafood and wines. Or sit down to a comfort meal complete with pizza and wings at P's Pizza House.
