Glow Baseball: Cosmic Takeover Tour from Dubuque to Des Moines | Events | Sports

Experience the electric pulse of Cosmic Baseball on the Glow Baseball — Cosmic Takeover Tour, a neon-soaked evening that flips the rulebook on traditional ballgames. This guided motor-coach outing departs from multiple pickup points—Dubuque, Anamosa, and Cedar Rapids—and runs to Des Moines for a black-light spectacle at Principal Park. Midwest Bus Trips provides deluxe coach transportation, a trip host, onboard amenities and coordinated logistics so you arrive relaxed, ready to trade twilight for ultraviolet theatrics. The stadium becomes a laboratory for color: players, bats and bases are treated with UV-reactive paint and neon gear, while field lines, foul poles and even concession signage glow under black lights. Key features include the black-lit playing surface, neon uniforms, luminous baseballs and choreographed crowd effects—glow sticks, LED signs and fluorescent face paint that transform a summer night into an immersive outdoor show. Principal Park’s concrete seating bowl and riverfront skyline provide stark, high-contrast backdrops that make the neon palette read like high-ISO photography; the urban setting turns a familiar local ballpark into a late-night visual event. Logistics are straightforward: buses gather at designated Wal‑Mart parking lots listed in your confirmation (Dubuque, Anamosa, Marion/Cedar Rapids), with estimated pickup times and a short stop en route. Coaches are outfitted with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, individual climate controls, seat power outlets, flat-screen monitors and underfloor luggage storage; coolers fitting in your seat area are permitted. Ticket options range from ride-only to full packages that include 100‑ or 200‑level show seats. Digital tickets arrive 24–48 hours before departure; hard tickets are also distributed at the bus. Note the 50% non-refundable deposit requirement and the minimum of 30 tickets needed for a trip to run. Why book a Midwest Bus Trips Cosmic Baseball tour? It’s an approachable, high-energy night out for groups, date nights, and families who want spectacle without the hassle of driving and parking downtown.
