More venue notes

The Iowa Children's Museum

The museum features a 'Lights Out!' exhibit specifically designed for light and imagination play, offering a unique sensory experience focused on visual learning through darkness and light contrast

Apex Laser Tag

Mini Pines - Mini Golf

Features a signature 'horse race' final hole that reviewers specifically highlight as a unique and entertaining feature of the course
Course includes a nine-foot waterfall with a pond area and four dedicated water play holes, making water features a central design element

BODYARMOR Ice Rink

Is located inside a mall next to the food court and movie theater, making it a unique integrated entertainment venue where families can skate and access dining and entertainment without leaving the building
The rink maintains year-round ice operations indoors in Iowa, which reviewers find notable enough to question how the ice stays frozen in a climate-controlled mall environment

Super Skate

Has been continuously operated by the same owners since at least the 1980s-1990s, making it a rare example of long-term family ownership in an era when most roller rinks have closed
Is one of the few remaining roller rinks in Iowa, as evidenced by the closure of Rollerdrome in Waterloo and the scarcity of similar venues in the state

ImOn Ice

Features two NHL-sized rinks with different specializations: one is home to the Cedar Rapids Rough Riders, a top-tier USHL junior hockey club, while the other Olympic-sized rink serves the local youth hockey club and other organizations
The facility maintains year-round operation with comprehensive programming including public skating, learn-to-skate programs, hockey leagues (including a Corridor Adult league that meets weekly), figure skating, and curling
