The Putnam Museum & Science Center

The Putnam is a place where people connect with history and ideas by doing, making and experiencing. Our classes and special events are a great complement to our hands-on exhibit galleries. There is always something new to discover and something for everyone at the Putnam.

Figge Art Museum

Reviewed By JMK-Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh, United States

Our family and I spent a little over an hour here and were very impressed. They had a wide variety of art including a Grant Wood exhibit that was well done, and a Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit that was very interesting. We liked most everything except a photography exhibit on the 4th floor that we found pretty dull. If you’re in the Quad Cities area you should make a point to visit. Recommended.

Vander Veer Botanical Park

Reviewed By 881sb - Galesburg, United States

This has become "our" park as we always have to stop here whenever we visit the Quad Cities. - so nice to just sit under the trees and watch the ducks in the pond, take a little walk through the beautiful rose garden, explore the very interesting botanical garden w/ so many different exotic plants, and then enjoy the flower beds and pretty fountain on the other side of the park. Try spending time in this really relaxing park.

Davenport Skybridge

Reviewed By FrugaliciousDiva

it was the perfect romantic outing downtown after dinner. The lights are so pretty at night and while I couldn’t capture it, it has a really nice view of the Mississippi River. This is free, just pay $1 for 0-2 hours for parking in the lot. You might even see some performers there. Don't forget to tip them.
