Things To Do
Lion Bridge Brewing Co.
Lion Bridge Brewing is a producer of world-class beers. Our brewery and beer hall is located in the historic Czech Village of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Czech Village
The District Czech Village/New Bohemia is a nationally accredited Main Street program in the heart of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The Main Street District is made up of two diverse neighborhoods, Czech Village and New Bohemia.
National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library
The NCSML preserves, presents, and transcends unique stories of Czech and Slovak history and culture through innovative experiences and active engagement to reach cross-cultural audiences locally, nationally, and internationally.
Mount Trashmore
Hahaha that is right. Before its transformation, Mount Trashmore opened its doors as a landfill in 1965 and took in waste until its 2006 closure. When the landfill closed for good in 2012, the Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency began to imagine how the space could be repurposed. The landmark features three trails: a nearly one-mile long walking/hiking trail, a multi-use trail for hikers and bicyclists, and a “flow” trail for seasoned riders.
Cedar Ridge Winery & Distillery
Wine. Whiskey. What more could you want? The Quint family has farmed and distilled spirits for generations. In 2005, Jeff Quint founded Cedar Ridge because he believed it was time for Iowa–the number one corn-producing state in the U.S.–to share its homegrown Bourbon Whiskey with the world. Cedar Ridge was the first licensed distillery in Iowa since Prohibition. After releasing its first batch of whiskey in 2010, Cedar Ridge Distillery quickly became a nationally recognized leader in craft spirits, winning multiple awards such as American Distilling Institute’s “2017 Distiller of the Year” or “Best American Craft Whiskey” at the 2016 New York World Spirits Competition.
