Top 10 Movie Theaters in Iowa, United States
History and monuments dot this landscape almost as often as the golden farmlands. Learn about America’s 31st president at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum in West Branch. In northeast Iowa is the Effigy Mounds National Monument, a group of prehistoric American Indian burial and ceremonial mounds. This part of Iowa is also home to the Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage. The 37-county region tells the story of American agriculture, agribusiness and farm life and is affiliated with the National Park Service. In addition, there are five national wildlife refuges here. If you love history, imagine seeing the Amana Colonies, consisting of seven historic villages in 1855 by German immigrants as a religious communal society. Here you can also buy antiques, hand-woven baskets, furniture and clocks and locally made wine and beer. In Ames, take the family to see the Christian Petersen Art Museum, a newer structure that exhibits works of art by Christian Petersen and contemporary artists. You won’t want to miss the state capital of Des Moines, home to Blank Park Zoo with its naturalistic exhibits and more than 800 animals from five continents. You also should enjoy the Brenton Skating Plaza, an outdoor family entertainment venue.

We enjoyed our visit to this theater in downtown Iowa City. Comfy chairs in the front row of small theater. Independent films shown. Not just box office hits. Documentaries, film festival winners, thought-provoking cinema. Prices are reasonable. Concessions available. I recommend. Great for lovers of cinema.

During a visit the Omaha we wanted to check out a movie theatre and happened on this theatre as one close to our hotel. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice, clean and efficient this theatre was. They have a full bar on site, you can even bring your drinks into the theatre. We were there on a weeknight and the place was so quiet. The concession was fast and easy. What really excited us about this theatre were the plus red leather chairs that recline and have foot rests. Something we had never seen in a traditional movie theatre. This was the most enjoyable and comfortable I have every had/felt in a theatre. We even decided to come back a second night just to experience it again but didn't stay as the move choices had changed and we didn't want to see any of them.
