Marshalltown, IA - City Review 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) Marshalltown: You Can Go Home Again

The best areas in Marshalltown, Iowa, are the restaurants and attractions you won't find anywhere else. An amazing one is the Big Treehouse at the campground. It stands more than five stories high in an old oak tree, and people come from all around to see it. I think they even rent it out overnight. Read Less
