World’s Greatest Spring Break for Kids

Expectations are high and spring break is just around the corner! If you’re looking for great family fun during spring break, check out the seven awesome attractions in downtown Waterloo! Thanks to the McElroy Trust, admission is only $1 per child and accompany adults per attraction during March 16-20.


Fun locations include: Young Arena, Phelps Youth Pavilion, Waterloo Public Library, Black Hawk Children’s Theatre, Dan Gable Wrestling Museum, John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum, Bluedorn Science Imaginarium, Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum & Grout Museum.

The VCCV is collaborating with the Public Library to host ‘The Cedar Valley Meets the Box Trolls.’ The library and the VCCV have planned stations that include making art out of trash, bowling with recycled water bottles, making lava lamps out of baby food jars, using cardboard tubes to invent items, and additional creative stations. The VCCV will host this on March 20 from 10:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.  

In honor of the McElroy Trust’s 50th anniversary you can also stop by the Waterloo Public Library and pick up a free book to take home! One book per child. Give-away begins March 16 and lasts until all of the books have gone home with excited children.
