Preview: Iowa’s oldest city, Dubuque, is a scenic river town with leafy residential neighborhoods atop limestone bluffs. Downtown has the feel of an old East Coast factory town, with a well-preserved historic district of brick row houses and elegant Victorian mansions converted into inns. But when you catch a glimpse of the barges slowly plying the Mississippi, you know you’re still in the Midwest. Each year, Dubuque holds two arts festivals with fun children’s activities: Dubuquefest, the third weekend in May, and Riverfest, the second weekend in September. The above description is an excerpt from "Fun With the Family in Iowa." Whether you're a first-time visitor or a long-time local resident, this chapter from the Fun With the Family Series will help you find fun and engaging activities that the entire family can enjoy at great destinations throughout the state, suitable for “kids” of all ages.
