My friend, Haverlee, was able to join me and snap a few shots as we wandered. More after the jump if you want to see...

Over the weekend, I was able to visit Luminarium: Arboria not just once, but twice! The first time I visited, I joined members of the press for a small, private showing and then a few days later, I went down to see it again with family.
What is it exactly? Well, it's an inflatable structure of different colors and sounds. It's half the size of a football and once you're inside, it feels like you're wandering around an alien spacecraft. It's pretty cool and I really enjoyed my experience.
They give you twenty minutes to explore and also limit the number of people who are allowed inside, so it was never too crowded. Although, I think it would be fun to wander around alone. It's very meditative...
Judging by the line to get tickets, there's an appetite for more things like this in Des Moines, so I hope the Powers That Be take note. Pictures and more below.
