Figge Art Museum
The Figge Art Museum in downtown Davenport is the Quad Cities' premier art museum, featuring a stunning glass-and-steel design overlooking the Mississippi River. It houses over 4,000 works, including Haitian, Mexican, and Grant Wood's Midwestern art, plus rotating exhibitions. Admission is free on Thursday evenings.
Quad City Botanical Center
A beautiful conservatory featuring a tropical garden with a 14-foot waterfall, banana and chocolate trees, a koi pond, and a children's garden.
Family Museum
The Family Museum is less a traditional museum and more of an enormous, imaginative play town designed for children eight and under . It's a place built entirely around the idea that kids learn best through role-playing, collaborating, and burning off energy in a safe, creative environment.
Black Hawk State Historic Site Trail
Located on the site of a historic Native American village; features beautiful nature trails and a museum interpreting the area's indigenous history.
Whitey's Ice Cream
Known as "the best in the midwest". Whitey's is a staple for anyone that comes to the QC. Our favorite flavors are Mint Chocolate Chip and Moose Tracks:)
