Outdoor Activities
This is the biggest farmers market I’ve ever been to. There is a WIDE variety of art/craft vendors, produce vendors, food, and everything in between. The best part is they’re open indoors on the weekends ALL YEAR ROUND so even when the outdoor market...
Freight House Farmers Market
As baseball fans relocating from the Seattle area, it’s really nice being 10 minutes from a minor league team. We LOVE Modern Woodmen Park and my boys can’t wait for next season.
Modern Woodmen Park
Our favorite park that my children (obviously) call “The Pirate Park” whenever they want to go. The biggest selling point for this is the bike trail. My oldest loves to ride his bike and the youngest loves to take his scooter. They can see a hole on ...
Hollowview Park
We visited this park once before they redid it, and I never would’ve recommended it before. However, since they replaced all of the equipment and the swings, my toddler loves it here!
Ed Scheck Park
We love Pride of the Wapsi. We missed their sunflowers by 2 weeks this year, but can’t wait to experience them next year! We got 6 HUUUUUUUGE pumpkins from our in the patch. The tractor drivers are so fun and really know how to make the experience go...

My husband and I have returned twice more to sit in the restaurant area, and ...

My husband and I were both on the hunt for a new place to get our hair cut when we moved back to the area, and he found Grey & Co. Gisel did a fantastic job freshening up and blowing out my thick hair. Can’t wait for the next one!
Grey & Co Salon

The children’s museum in Bettendorf is fantastic. It’s affordable, has indoor AND outdoor play areas with so much for your child to do. My toddler never gets bored here. He will leave an area, run around another area, and come back to his original sp...
Family Museum
This casino/hotel is beautiful. The beds are heaven, the bathrooms are luxurious (I’m talking the best bubble bath of my life), and the casino was so much fun. My husband and I will be back, and I recommend you go too (if this is the kind of thing yo...
