I'm an avid swimmer and wanted to still be able to swim laps when I visited my son this year. I was…read moreimpressed with the quality of the facility, number of lap lanes, and overall hospitality of the staff. The women's locker rooms were clean and there was ample locker space.

Both of my daughters LOVE this pool and I do too! Our summers include multiple visits. There are…read morethree slides, diving boards, and two splash areas. We love hanging here and there is plenty of room on the patio and in the lawn. The concession stand has a great variety and we usually get an icee each visit.

They offer private lessons, for $60 a week. My child is starting his third week! There is a slide in the deeep end that goes into 10 ft water. Ropes separating from 3-; feet and deeper. The bathrooms are ALWAYS clean, and the water is always warm! We will be purchasing a season pass next year.

Super cute, not over populated, staff is very friendly and helpful. Plus it's connected to a park…read morewith some of the coolest playground equipment I've ever seen! 100% recommend!!

Great park we found out about from friends who discovered the ENORMOUS play structure here. The…read morepark includes the aforementioned playland, some baseball diamonds, an aquatic center and plenty of free space for the chilluns to burn off some energy. The benches and pavilions are quite nice as well and make for some perfect outdoor dining on spring evenings. It's located on the east side of Iowa City just past Sycamore mall, so it's a bit of a jaunt for those in North Liberty or Coralville. That said, it's not all that far and it's worth it for the playland. A must check out for families and close to Jimmy Jacks so you can get some legit takeout BBQ while you're here!

Do you ever wish there was an adult playground?…read more You know, where you could swing gleefully, strain to monkey across some bars or slide as you grin ear to ear-- maybe even build a completely BA sandcastle? Oh and most importantly, this mythical dream park is for ADULTS ONLY. If you have, consider yourself warned: DO NOT go to Mercer Park. Because oh my gosh, you'll be totally jealous at what the Iowa City kiddos get to play on. Iowa City's largest play area (I'm hard pressed to think of a bigger one) is only two years old and is pure magic. It's got a sensory play center, a net climbing course, a MASSIVE tower with enclosed slide and equipment meant for kiddos ages 2-to-5. There are also shelters, picnic tables, grills, lit baseball/softball fields, tee ball field, tennis courts, a refurbish old fire engine play structure... you name it-- it's got it. Even the indoor aquatic center lives at Mercer, too. There's ample parking and literally kids (and adults?) of all ages will enjoy it. My kids (ages 2 and 4) absolutely love the ginormous tower and crazy four person seesaw. Come check it out!

I spent a short time gambling at Riverside Casino on a Saturday afternoon after a round of golf at…read moreBlue Top Ridge! The casino floor itself isn't anything special - slots, table games, a poker room, small live music lounge, and a sports bar. The casino is clean and pleasant (assuming you don't mind the smell of cigarettes). I was truly searching for a reason to give give Riverside a full 5-star rating, but I couldn't justify it since I don't think there is really anything that sets this casino apart from ones nearby (I.e., Rhythm City in Davenport, Isle in Waterloo, Diamond Jo in Dubuque, etc.). Ultimately, if you are looking for a new spot to gamble, you should give Riverside a try. However, I don't think you need to go out of your way to experience the casino itself. Nothing to complain about, but also nothing to rave over. (Disclaimer: I actually came out ahead $18 which paid for my lunch on this day. So this review was not written in spite after losing a chunk of change!)

Have been coming here for the last three years and the food, staff, and casino have been amazing!…read moreBreakfast is really good with a variety of eggs, bacon, potatoes, fruits, juices! The room was great and didn't have no issues with water or light. Carpet was clean and windows clear. Everything in the room worked as suppose to.

Oh what a day!! My daughter's birthday! Just wanted some sun and fun. Forecast was iffy. Rain…read morepossible at 2-3 pm. Arrived 12:20. First rumble of thunder at 12:30. Of course. Have to wait ( in our cars?) for 30 minutes. Rain is drippy. Storm off to the north. Staff unwilling to close and issue rain checks. Thunder continues to rumble. "Manager" says "her Boss" will not okay a pool closure until 2:00 pm. Seriously? We have to wait over an hour and a half in our cars for a rain check? Very poor customer service. This is a municipal pool. Great service to our taxpayers. This pool is marginally okay. Hygiene is iffy. Have seen lifeguards scoop poop out and ignore any sanitation procedures on two separate occasions. Thank you Moline.

I gave it 3 stars in comparison to the other QC pools. I would say this is a great pool for older…read morekids. The pre-swimmer area has a great play structure but the water around it is pretty deep and is the only thing for the little ones to play with.
