2. 5.0 ComedySportz - Quad Cities (9 reviews)
   - Funny Date Night
   Sunday: Theatre & Performances
   I've seen this place for so many years but was so weary about going to see what it's about. Just recently moved back to town from a bigger city and we needed something to do. Well ComedySportz was it. We had a BOGO and took the leap of faith and it was the best decision we've ever made. The teams were funny and the ref made sure the crowd was engage the entire night. We made the family friendly 7pm show but was able to stay for the 17 and over 930 show but that is the plan for another night. If you haven't tried this you are missing out on nice clean comedy.

   What a great little museum. If you like fossils and minerals, you will love this place. The woman that told us about the dinosaur that was found by a professor of the Augustana College in Antartica was so informative.

6. 5.0 QCCA Expo Center (1 review)
   - Great place for shows..
   Convention Centers
   The Quad City Conservation Alliance was founded in 1984 as a not for profit conservation alliance by five local conservation clubs who recognized that they could do more by teaming up. They opperate the QCCA Expo Center where they will have various shows. I've now been to two shows so far and I have enjoyed myself each time. So far this 2020 season, I have been to the Quad City Home Builder Show and the RV & Camping show. Many vendors with lots of products and information. This is great venue to have places. They do a wonderful job. If you go to their website qccaexpocenter.com you will find their events being planned. They do have a cafeteria in there where you can purchase food other than from the vendors that go there. They offer dogs, brats, pulled pork, etc. all of which is good, and all of which helps supports their organiazatons fundraising. This is the first two times that i've been to any shows at this venue and I will certainly will be back. Many shows, many attractions. See more..
