Best place to take
kids on a rainy day
Iowa Children’s Museum
Coral Ridge Mall, Coralville
The way the weather has been the past couple of winters, perhaps we should change this category to “Best place to take the kids on a snow day.” Either way, residents voted the Iowa Children’s Museum one of the best places indoors for kids to be kids, and maybe actually learn a thing or two. A recently completed permanent exhibit, Take Flight, just opened, and families can enjoy free entry on Family Free Fridays the last Friday of each month.
