Things To Do

Dubuque is more fun and entertaining that you might think.

Town of Galena

Galena, IL 61036

Galena is a cute little town just on the other side of the Mississippi River, in Illinois. We recommend visiting Galena River Wine & Cheese, Bread & Vine, Outside the Lines, and/or Grape Escape. We also really like walking on the trail that overlooks the river.

Dubuque Arboretum

3800 Arboretum Drive, Dubuque, IA 52001

We love the arboretum! It's 56 glorious acres of plants and trees and walkways and a koi pond. So many hostas!! Plus it's free to visit.

Eagle Point Park

2601 Shiras Avenue, Dubuque, IA 52001

This is a really cool park on top of the bluffs. There are some walking trails and some neat buildings. Our favorite thing to do at Eagle Point Park is to look out over the river and look for bald eagles. There are tons of them!

Mississippi Riverwalk

Mississippi Riverwalk, Dubuque, IA 52001

It's a walkway along the Mississippi River. It's nice.

Mississippi River Museum

350 East 3rd Street, Dubuque, IA 52001

The museum is moderately interesting for adults for maybe 60-90 minutes. There's are some touching pools where you can touch (molest?) various creatures, though, and I understand that children enjoy that.
