From the outside it doesn't look like much, but it was so much fun! So much to do for the little ones (we had a 3yo, 5yo, and 9yo with us), we stayed for hours and they were sad to leave. A big favorite was the combine simulator, and another was the Big-esque step piano. They even have a nice-sized outdoor play area in the back. We will definitely return in the summer when the sprinklers are on.

Great way to spend the day!

No More Mr. Clean......

My buddy and I attended a concert by the Alice Cooper Group on Tuesday, May 13, 2018. The Taxslayer Center is a great venue for concerts. There really are no bad seats! The sound system is crisp snd clear, too. It has good access and a person can move quickly to the exits once sn event is finished. The restrooms are clean, too. It was a great show in a great venue!

Scott County Park

Reviewed By Debra L

We were just passing through and only stayed for one night. It wasn't far from the interstate, nice quiet area. The front office was quiet and helpful. Parking our RV was easy, back in site. There was lots of grassy area with dog walking access. We were off season, so the grounds were quiet. Large heated restrooms, though I wasn't comfortable showering in them when you can't lock the door (no code access device either). Otherwise, clean and nice. Easy in, easy out.

This is where my family is buried, as all have served since the Civil War. This will be my eternal resting place too someday.

My grandfather, Waldo Goetsch, was it's Superintendent. There is a beautiful Confederate Cemetary to honor the PWO's who died here in captivity. We are one Nation under God, indivisible...

This park and conservatory is an interesting place year round and provides some interesting botanical exhibits. Regardless of the season, there is almost always a flowering plant. The place is great for weddings and receptions, and the staff is easy to work with!

Iowa 80, World's Largest Truck Stop

Reviewed By drmoore - Mackinaw, Illinois

We had a little bit of time to kill on our way home so we stopped. They have lots of gift ideas. One part of the store (the largest part) is dedicated strictly to truckers. I think they have everything a trucker would need for...MoreWe are glad you were able to stop and shop! We do try to have something for everyone and then some. Stop and see us again if you are in the area. We look forward to serving you again soon!

Cheap, clean and comfortable hotel. Right on the river. Rooms were spacious, staff was clueless and just simple there. Casino was average, smokey, filled with old people. Cheap rooms, and just an average place over all. I would recommend when in town.

Reviewed By T_Garcia2000 - Austin, Texas

We needed a place to blow off some energy during our visit to Davenport. Helium was the perfect place for everyone. It was large enough to put some space between our 4-year-old to the teens. I recommend filling out the waiver online before arriving. You need to wear their socks on the trampolines. I would also recommend a locker, only $3 but since you cannot see the open storage shelves from the trampolines, $3 was a bargain. The food was good, they make the pizza to order. Place your order about 15 minutes before your jump time is over. The young staff was friendly, we will definitely stop in next time we are in town.
