This place is cool, made by the Quiet Place and Heretic creators, a place for movie lovers. They even do rooftop seating. Just a really cool place and cool workers. Why TF doesn't Illinois have places like this? Because when people become successful there they leave that B because there few people are grateful for where they're from, and I don't blame em. People there are users, weirdos, avoidant attachment like a mofo.

The staff was super friendly and the smell of popcorn the moment we entered the front door...fugetaboutit. All eight of us had cocktails and loved them. And the price of drinks beats the heck out of Vegas (where we live). Stop in early for an adult beverage, see a movie, then hang out after the movie for another beverage and talk about the movie...it's a win, win, win.

We were lucky to arrive at the this visitor center just when a barge was entering the locks. It…read morewas slow going but very interesting to see the entire process. The ranger in the building helped explain what was going on below in the lock. There are many different displays that describe the lock system from St. Paul to St. Louis. Very educational. Good views of the river. The one downside of visiting this place is that you need to get a visitor pass since this is on the Rock Island Armory military base. You need a valid US ID and have to fill out a form, etc. Once the form is completed it took almost five minutes per person to go through the process and get an ID issued. If there are more than a couple of people in line you could easily be waiting 30 minutes. This pass does let you go to the Military Museum and access other recreational facilities on the base. You've been warned!

First off, the visitor center isn't where Yelp shows it (at least not on my map it isn't), but the…read moresigns are pretty easy to follow - if you get to the clock tower you are across the street from the center. Your experience will depend on whether something is going through the lock. We arrived as a tug and some barges were finishing their transition to go down river. You get to see the lock filling and also get to see the bridge swing around to let the barges through. There was a ranger (?) there and he was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. There is real very little else to see if nothing is happening at the lock. As you drive around the arsenal (and I do recommend that you drive around some) and see something approaching the lock, get over there!

The line moved quickly getting people inside shortly after doors opened. They are kind and helpful to those of us with disabilities rewiring ADA options. We choose to sit in the back at this venue had sloped seating. We were able to have a great view of the entire show and sit comfortably. The event we went to was Social Distortion with opening act Plague Vendor. Both bands put on a great show. I have seen Social D venue, but this setlist was way different than the lady time, which was cool. The lines moved quick to get beverages and snacks. The only reason I didn't give this venue 5 stars was because the only food they had was small bags of chips. Their website indicated a much bigger venue with dinner-like options. We purposely didn't eat beforehand thinking we'd be getting food at the show. By far the only downside. The staff let's people go iut front to smoke and come back in without having to buy another ticket, provided you had your hand stamped. The hallways weren't super wide, so leaving was a little busy, but not the artist I've experienced. Bathrooms were available nearby the exits of the concert hall. A great mid-sized venue to see someone without being so far away. Though, I think next time I will go with balcony seats. Seems like the view would be great. Thanks to the staff and everyone for being so nice. Definitely recommend this spot.

It's OK to take in cell phones and some of them take just as good of shots as my camera. I feel I'm being discriminated against. I think someone really needs to rethink this policy of "no professional" cameras allowed. Meaning any camera with a detachable lens. I'm crying FOUL!

We spent a wonderful winter's afternoon at this quiet (and warm) museum. There were only a few cars…read morein the plaza-level parking lot off of West 2nd the day we spontaneously decided to visit (this lot btw is the best place to park). As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable museum associate--she informed us of the layout of the museum, gave us a brief description of the exhibits, and helpfully recommended that we start at the fourth floor and work our way down. It was probably the most organized and efficient welcoming presentation I've ever heard! It was also a bonus that afternoon we showed up on a "free visits" day. I think normally they charge about $14 per person. So, we took what looked to be an upscale freight elevator to the fourth floor and started with the elegant Raven and the Box of Daylight special exhibit by Preston Singletary...this is a very cool multi-sensory work that presents the Native American folktale of how the raven brought daylight (and stars and the moon) to the earth. The interplay of sound and light with the beautiful glass sculptures were really calming and wonderful. The exhibit will be there until August 2026. On our way down to the third floor we saw some mysterious double doors by the elevator that looked like an exit but had a small label nearby, "Wintetgatden exhibit." Good thing we went through the doors because there was an adorable bronze sculpture right on the other side, as well as an expansive view of the Mississippi from a wall of glass windows...a light-filled staircase winds down towards the third floor, and I believe this is the floor with a viewing area set up with easels for drawing! This was a unique and fun part of the museum visit, and there are chairs nearby for relaxing if you don't want to draw... The second floor houses the museum's main collections, including a large collection of Haitian art; we were also able to view a traveling exhibit from D.C. We enjoyed seeing a nice mix of portraiture, landscapes, still life and abstract paintings, sculptures, video art, furniture, and fiber arts... The first floor has the cafe (not open when we were there) and the gift shop... which was very fun to browse. I picked up a book, several stickers and packets of novelty tea for only $1each. This is definitely a fun, lovely, and enriching place to visit if in the Quad Cities area!

I asked and they said base floor is parking to boost it above flood stage. There is a lot of off display storage with other admin and mechanical space. It's still a very nice museum and recommend it. The hidden gem is take the back stairway down from the upper floors. There is a nice sitting and art space overlooking the Mississippi. I do wish the museum store had more to offer and there was more comfortable seating off the bar, which also overlooks the Mississippi to enjoy a beverage or snack while enjoying the view.

The gallery owner NOW tells us that nothing in the gallery can be purchased until 30 days later because they are going to have a showing. That's nice. Our question was why did you not tell us this information when we arrived. The owner talked non stop the whole time we were there and she was extremely annoying. She asked us what we were looking for and what could she help us with. We were trying to admire the displayed art and browse without extraneous noises. She should have told us no sales were going to happen. She did say that she would contact the artist of the piece we had interest in and see if she wanted to sell it to us and we could come back some other day and find out if we could buy it. We are more accustomed to a professional buying experience. I would never return to this business and I would never recommend others to go there.
