Places to go with your family in Iowa City!

Hello everyone! I am back to share my favorite places to take my family when they come visit me!

  1. Wilson’s Orchard: Pick apples, shop at the farm store, and grab brunch or dinner at their restaurant!
  2. A sports game: Iowa Athletics offers all sorts of sports for any fan, go and cheer on your peers!
  3. Basta: An Italian restaurant with something for everyone. The outdoor patio offers a great ambience when the weather is nice
  4. Stanley Art Museum: Come see the Jackson Pollock mural and a wide variety of art from around the world for free!
  5. FilmScene: Catch a movie at one of two locations!
  6. Encounter: A great brunch option or stop for coffee. The chai is incredible!
  7. SpareMe: Have a bowling tournament with your family!
  8. Coralville Mall: They have ice skating in the winter, a food court, and lots of shops, not to mention a MASSIVE Barnes and Noble

As an example, here is me at a women’s basketball game in Carver, a perfect way to spend time with the family!

This is a great way to enjoy some (free) options not out of your personal student wallet and to show your family why Iowa City is the best college town.
