In a nutshell
Good party town but you need to be there on a saturday for tailgating
Oatlad Says: I love the bike trails in Cedar Rapids. They are very scenic, well maintained, and they take you all over town. Its really great to see parks like these, I hope the trend continues in Cedar Rapids and spreads to other towns.
Jewelslover Says: The Paramount Theater was build in the 1920's. This 1901 seat theater hosts many events each year, from the Cedar Rapids Symphony ,ballet, broadway series, to local events and meetings.The theater is listed in the National Register of Historic places which lists places of...
Jewelslover Says: Ellis Park is on the Northwest side of Cedar Rapids. There are tennis courts, a public swimming pool, horseshoe pits, golf course, rose gardens, baseball fields, and walking trails. There are several shelters for picnics or parties.Ellis Park is right on the Cedar River....
Bever Park - Kid Friendly Park!
Jewelslover Says: I remember going to this park as a child distinctly because of the zoo. It's changed over the years, and it's now Old MacDonald's Farm. There are pigs, sheep, rabbits, ducks, donkeys, a cow, and prairie dogs. There is a large playground area and lots of open space and big...
wineladylauren Says: Once a month during the warmer months (May-September), you can gather with other fun wine lovers, taste and learn about wines, sample cheeses and party dips, and win door prizes! This outrageous tasting bash takes place in an outdoor venue at a quaint little boutique wine...
National Czech and Slovak Museum

Zindrick's: Old World Charm (and Carbohydrates!)
yooperprof Says: Food Coma Central. Authentic Central European restaurant with hearty Bohemian specialities, just like the old country. Spaetzle and Goulash and more dumplings than you can shake a stick at. Pierogis at least as good as those in Hammond Indiana! Nothing nouveau, lite, or...
CR Chophouse: New chef brings life to tired restaurant
steaksavvy Says: My wife and I used to be regular customers of Daniel Arthurs restaurant in Downtown Cedar Rapids. The food was world class, unlike anything else in the corridor. We were dissapointed to learn in late january that the Chef that made that restaurant what it was was no longer...
foodcritic4 Says: Terrible experience. Extremely overpriced for the quality of food and service. For a party of 8 it took the service 1 hour to get our food to us all. The food was warm when we received it. The sauces were congealed and cold. Between a party of 8 there was 1 beverage...
Brewed Awakenings: Smart Coffeehouse near Coe College
yooperprof Says: Considerably Above Average java joint near Coe College and the main downtown strip. Interesting art on the walls, poetry in the bathrooms, and intelligent staff who know how to make a smiley with the cappacino foam.

Papa Juans: Best marquaritas in town

Chrome Horse Saloon: Cedar Rapids Biker Bar
Jewelslover Says: The Chrome Horse is a bar & grill located close to downtown Cedar Rapids. They have an extensive food menu & the usual drinks. Karaoke plays during the week, but they do have live music on Fridays and Saturdays.
Cocktails: Good Drinks & Cheap Eats!
Jewelslover Says: Cocktails is located in Marion just outside of the NE side of Cedar Rapids. They have a reasonably priced food menu and live music or events several nights a week. Check out their website for the schedule.
Michael_SFBA Says: Cedar Rapids does have its own airport with regular flights by major airlines, but the fares are high. I've found that the fares are significantly lower to Moline IL which is about 1:15min drive. I'm a cheapskate and find an hour drive is no big deal, so I usually fly into...
Michael_SFBA Says: You must have your own car to get around in Cedar Rapids. Unless you're staying downtown, there are a few things you can do within walking distance, but your opportunities are limited.You will not be able to just hail a cab or find them parked and waiting anywhere, you have...
Michael_SFBA Says: There is one particular area in Cedar Rapids to avoid at night, bounded by 10th St, 19th St, C Ave NE, and 8th Ave SE. That's really larger than the entire problem area, and this is nothing like areas of really large cities, but compared to the rest of the city, which is...
yooperprof Says: Cedar Rapids is rather unique in having its major civic buildings all concentrated together on an island in the middle of its major river, the Cedar. The City Hall - formally called the Veterans Memorial Hall - is an impressive landmark that was built in the confident...

I was born in Cedar Rapids and lived there until 2001. My folks still live there, and I have a few good friends there, so I go back to visit at least once a year.
