    The summer concert series is awesome...especially when you're sitting outside at one of the restaurants having drinks and dinner. Share is my favorite restaurant on the ped mall.

    Aww, the heart of Iowa City. It gets crazy here at night, search for the next bar to hit up, flirt with the college crowd, chat with bums, eat a grilled cheese, and tickle those ivory keys!

    Great open air, pedestrian-only area with great restaurants, movie theater, and pubs. In summer, wonderful free family-friendly concerts.

    Bring sunscreen, and expect to be in the sun if your kids are playing on the playground--not a lot of shade, but the fountain is a must in the summer!

    On a hot day bring your kids down to the fountain, strip 'em down, and let 'em run!
