Top 5 Art Galleries in Iowa

5013 288th Ave, Maquoketa, IA 52060, United States

“Hidden gem of a music venue in a beautiful setting. We were there to see The BoDeans and an opening set by Marques Morel and the entire show was amazing. Just about every show sells out quickly so go to their website and book early. A true treat of a place”

“2002, the Museum was given the building that houses the original studio of Grant Wood. Located just three blocks from the Museum, the loft studio, known by its fictitious address of 5 Turner Alley, was designed and constructed by Wood, who lived and worked there between 1924 and 1935. It was here that he painted American Gothic (1930)—now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago—and many of his most famous paintings. The Grant Wood Studio is open to the public for guided tours from 12:00 PM-4:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays from April through December.”

“This is a quaint little storefront theater in downtown Marion. I went to see a murder mystery which they do several times a year. There is audience participation with questions to get clues and a chance to guess who the murderer is. They announce who won with much fanfare. It's so fun for everybody. It's all community volunteers and directors. The seating floor is couches and easy chairs. Feel free to bring your blanket, slippers and stuffies. The staff comes to your seat to take your order. At intermission they come and see if you want refills. And at the end of the show they come and take your check. You don't have to get up for any of it. The staff is super friendly and they give part of the profits to a chosen charity that rotates. Highly recommended!”

“We had a great time here this evening! We are currently road tripping from Ohio and were looking for something that would be fun for us and also our five year old. Our daughter absolutely loved the arcade games, of course, and we all loved the food. We got a Bowser pizza and it had the perfect amount of spice. We also got the Princess Peach dessert pizza, which was very tasty. Between my husband and I, we tried three different QB beers and enjoyed all of them. Service was great! It wasn’t too crazy when we got there around 5, but was packed when we left. Our daughter asked if we could “plllllleeeeease” come back — and we certainly will if we are ever in Cedar Rapids again!”

“The Des Moines civic center is a jewel of the city. We enjoyed the musical production of "The Wiz" on Dec 17.”

“Have bought ALOT of "things" from this auction house, but this was the last time....The last item I purchased was listed as a quilt with a picture taken of a single quilt. Failed to mention (or take a picture) that the quilt had a tag that said "made in China." Sent pictures to the receptionist as per her request. She acknowledged my concern. Spoke with auction service owner "Leon" who's response was "well, it was sewn together." He was dismissive. Totally misleading auction company. Would not recommend.”

555 17th St, Des Moines, IA 50309, United States

“Attempted the New Years Eve event for children. 'No idea how long the wait is'. Not enough of anything to go around - no tables, no candy, no toys. Dinner of soda, water, mints or popcorn. Couldnt find a waitress to order food to eat 'on our feet'. No seating available. Blood sugar got low and I was threatened for moving a coat over to sit on the edge of a chair. Alexi, owner, gave me his card, a mint, and offered me some fries (after threatened for sitting) but never gave them to me. Left, drove 4 blocks, spent $$$ elsewhere.”

“We arrived, looked around, and promptly left. We came for the Go Karts and Miniature Golf. We couldn’t get out of there fast enough. This place is for sale now (sign outside) and it appears as if they have stopped putting in any maintenance. It’s not well cared for and run down. I do not recommend to anyone.”
