We contacted this group prior to our visit and they provided visitor guides for activities available. Printed materials were attractive and informative. We visited the center (which is close to the National Mississippi River Museum) while we were in Dubuque to pick up additional information.
We couldn't find anywhere that sells Trapestine carmels in town so we stopped here. They do have a small selection of the carmels for sale. These are the best carmels I have ever eaten.
Good location downtown. 5 different walking maps available for $2 each. Offers info on sites and good recommendations.
Thought this visitor center was just a place to pick up hotel brochures, restaurant information and attractions in the area. It was far more than that. Lots of memoribilia on President Grant, his wife, children and grandchildren. Very well down.
The lady there helped us find a room even tho Dubuque was pretty much sold out due to 3 home comings and a craft fair, she helped us find attractions, the river boat was fun, the elevator cable car was cool, but just a short drive away was Galena ill. and that little town is great, its like a cross between Manitou Springs and Sausilito....lots to do and see, especially awesome in early fall...cant wait to go back
Great place to get all your Dubuque tourist souvenirs. Close to many restaurants on main st so stop by before or after grabbing lunch
We happened by here when we first got to Dubuque and it was a great thing. The worker that was there showed us many opportunities that were available for the week end we were there and then gave us suggestions of other sites to see. She asked what we were interested in and then found us some brochures. She also showed us out the windows where some places were from there and how to get to the sites. I would highly recommend this stop if you need any information about Dubuque. We had done some research but wouldn't have known about the Dragon Boat races that were going on if we hadn't stopped in.
People were friendly and very helpful. They had tons of brochures as well as some gifts (tshirts, etc.) A good place to stop for ideas of things to do in the area!
Darn even the ex pat's get to work here and those travelling from the UK will feel right at home being understood here by staff members, seeing as there is a transplant working there but all the staff are great to work with and are very helpful and give great advice
Couldn't love the Iowa Welcome Center more than I do! The staff is friendly, helpful and always goes above and beyond! Exceptional customer service and informed staff who really care!!
