Campus and Hilton Tour

[isu_oak]

I have relatives coming to Ames from Arizona and they want to see the ISU campus as well as Hilton. Are there any new "can't miss" sites on campus I should make them aware of? They wanted to see the first computer, but I think it's on loan to some museum. Also, is Hilton generally unlocked during normal business hours?

Tell them to download the "mystate" app which has the campus map and just have them walk around campus.

Pretend that they want to be donors and you may get some doors opened for you!

Ideas:

Go on the roof of MacKay (the windows are never locked)
Explore the steam tunnels
Walk across the Zodiac
Swim in the Fountain of the Four Seasons
Turn off all the lights and walk around the basement of Science II
Get 6 different drinks with your lunch at UDCC

Check with the Iowa State Center for tour times. It use to be 2:00 but that was a few years ago
