4.5Circa 21(162 reviews) - Great food and entertainment Saturday: 12:00 AM - 6:00 PM, 10:00 PM - 12:00 AM Dinner Theaters
Wonderful ,orate theater where you dine before the show. You have 3 choices of meals to choose from and a delicious dessert. I always like to have my dessert with coffee during the intermission of the show.Your waiters and waitresses are either in the pre-show or the show itself. If you are with a group that rode a bus ,you are guaranteed a box of chocolate chip cookies to savor on the way home. I have been to this theater and recommend going at least once a year.See more..

4.5Quad City Botanical Center(90 reviews) - Gorgeous Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Gardens • Educational sites
The staff was very helpful and kind. It was $5 to go in. You get a map and then get to explore. If you sweat easily, don't go on a warmer day, it gets steamy in the main house. See more..
Stoped here after visiting the Rock Island Arsenal. The park ranger guide was excellent. We had the opportunity to watch a large coal barge go through the lock up close and personal with the ranger explaning what was happening. There is an interesting display there and a good short video that was worth watching. Make certain to see the exhibit that explains why the locks and dams can't prevent the Mississippi from flooding! Also, a small but good gift shop with items about the River, the workings of the lock and the American Eagle. This was a very worthwhile and fund stop to better appreciate the Mississippi River.See more..

This was an unexpected gem while we were staying in Moline Illinois. The exhibit was Manuscripts by Charles Darwin. We were totally unaware that a Manuscript museum existed. As we are from Minnesota we will visit the one in Duluth. This is a rotating exhibit and when we are in the area we will return.See more..
4.0Hauberg Museum(15 reviews) - Gem Historical Museum Saturday: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
A small but well-conceived museum that focuses on the two tribes that originally inhabited the region - the Sauk and Meskwaki. It is located in part of a much larger Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp built in the 1930s. When we entered, we were greeted by the Director who was manning the front desk. She was very knowledgeable and eager to tell us about the life cycle of the Native Americans in that area. The rest of the tour is self-guided as you work through a series of life size dioramas showing how they lived and worked in each season in the year. A bonus in another part of the lodge is the story of the CCC crews who constructed the building and its surroundings. The museum is free but a donation is suggested. Although somewhat off the beaten path, this museum is well worth taking the time to visit.See more..
4.0Sunset Park(15 reviews) - Hidden gem of the Quad Cities. Parks
Wonderful place to come to for biking, walking, or fishing. I'm sure that most Quad Cities residents have not been there. This is one of the most beautiful spots that we have. The point is a great place for pics. If you are out of town, a visit is a must. You will take pictures and you will come away thinking that this is what the Mississippi is like.See more..
Advertised as the first regular house with siding, it's actually a log house underneath... check out the internal structure preserved on display in the newly attached bonus room. The tour guide was one of the most interesting guys I met on a two week long trip, and he really knew the place and the area inside and out. Be sure to ask Colonel Davenport's real name and why it was changed. See more..

The owner was great and kind, the brewers we awesome, and the bartenders top notch. They have the best Bloody Mary my wife and I have had in a long, long time. Don't forget to try the garlic stout, delicious. If you are looking for a great time, a little out of the ordinary, come to Radicle Effects.See more..

4.5Quad CIties Criterium(3 reviews) - Mid-West bike racing at it's best Other Outdoor Activities
I had the chance to attend the Quad Cities Criterium, held in down town Rock Island, IL, on Memeorial day. The races started at 8 am and lasted throughout the day. Bicycle racers from throughout the mid-west provide some exciting races all day long. The weather was a little rainy in the morning and it resulted in several riders crashing on the slippery corners. The course was 3/4 of a mile that winded it's way around city streets. The area where the race was held is home to serveral restaurants and bars so there was a variety of food and refreshments available. This was the 5th year I have attended.See more..
I enjoy taking my kids to Schiebert to run in the sprinkler in the summer. The park has pretty views and a great play areas with very cool equipment. There is often live music at the large stage or cultural presentations. Across the street is the District were there are often festivals as well. The school district also has there back to school party there and the city has there Halloween party there. Very nice park. See more..
4.0Fort Armstrong Historic Site(1 review) - A piece of history. Historic Sites • Military Bases & Facilities • Monuments & Statues I was on a road trip around the area and I always look for historic places to check out. This location popped up and I added the stop to places I wanted to see. There is only a few parking spots on the road to use and I was lucky that one was open. There is a small block house fort recreation, a couple monuments, an area of information boards with Nature and Native American information, and a few cannons. There is a picnic table too, but I sat under a tree and had lunch. I noticed the sidewalk lead to the Arsenal/Government Bridge, so I walked over to it and checked out the barges in the lock. I ended up walking all the way across the bridge to Iowa on one side and back on the other. Not many people I know have walked over the Mississippi River.See more..
