A Bucket List for our Time in Iowa City!

We are nearing our halfway point in Iowa City. I can’t believe how quickly (nearly) two years have flown by! I was reading a Facebook post and realize how I haven't done so many things in the area that I want to do before moving. Time to make my list and start planning!
 
Rachel Miller shared her bucket list:

• Covered Bridges of Madison County and birth place of John Wayne
• Captain Kirk’s future birthplace in Riverside (Trek Fest in June)
• Sutliff Bridge
• Pella tulips (festival in early May)
• American Gothic House
• Field of Dreams in Dyersville
• Shortest and steepest railroad in Dubuque
• Reiman Garden in Ames
• Pikes Peak
• Maquota Caves
• Amana Colonies
• Mennonite village in Kalona

 
Embarrassing- from her list, I’ve only been to Amana Colonies!!!
 
On the same thread, Jessica Jewitt Reed added:

• Science Center
• Iowa Historical Museum
• Hickory Park Restaurant 
• Boone Scenic Valley Railroad and Ledges Park
• Jordan Creek shopping area
• Climb Iowa
• Herbert Hoover birthplace and presidential library
• Natural History Museum
• Stringtown Grocery near Kalona
• Mississippi River Museum in Dubuque

 
Also have only been to one of these!
 
I’m not from the Midwest so also want to explore the greater area. I visited Chicago for the first time after moving here. I also want to go to the Lake Michigan area in Wisconsin and hit up Minneapolis.
 
Former IMP member Ashley Breinholt also talked about some of these places in a post on Iowa City Moms Blog.
 
What are we missing on this list? What have been some of your favorite places to visit?
