The next time you stay at GrandStay Hotel & Suites in Ames, take time to visit Reiman Gardens and see the "Washed Ashore" Sculpture Exhibit.  Reiman Gardens is the first public gardens in the entire country to host this colorful, garbage-to-art exhibit, joining the ranks of the  Smithsonian, National Zoo, SeaWorld Parks, and more.  The exhibit features ten larger-than-life sea creature sculptures made from trash collected from beaches to graphically illustrate the issue of the pollution in our oceans and waterways.

Reiman Gardens is open from 9:00 a.m .to 6:00 p.m. daily.  Add two adult general admission tickets for only $12 when  you book your room at GrandStay Ames.  Must be booked 24 hours in advance of arrival.  Mention the Reiman Gardens special when booking your room directly with the hotel at 515.232.8363.
