Walker Homestead is truly something special…read more We recently hosted an evening there as part of a corporate dinner, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly well organized. Kristy, Bob, and the entire team made us feel genuinely welcomed and took such wonderful care of our group. The setting is absolutely stunning. What they have created is remarkable. The beautiful grounds, relaxed atmosphere, locally sourced farm-to-table meal, and attention to every detail made the evening unforgettable. Our attendees loved everything, from exploring the property and visiting the animals to enjoying dinner and participating in our murder mystery event. Planning an event for a large group can be stressful, but the Walker Homestead team made the process easy and enjoyable. They were responsive, flexible, accommodating, and committed to making sure everything went smoothly. The food was outstanding, the service was excellent, and the entire evening felt personal and special rather than simply being another hosted event. Our group is still talking about how much they enjoyed the experience. Walker Homestead was one of the highlights of our meeting, and I cannot recommend it highly enough for a private event, celebration, dinner, or simply an opportunity to experience this beautiful place. I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to return soon. Thank you to everyone at Walker Homestead for your extraordinary hospitality and for giving our group such a memorable evening!

The ceremony took place on a covered large patio, in front of a wood burning fireplace that added to the ambiance. The reception was filled with an incredible countertop full of delectable charcuterie artfully arranged and just as delicious tasting as it was beautiful. They did such a wonderful job serving all the guests appetizers, drinks at the bar, and a multi course dinner, as well as the wedding cake. The brisket was so tender, it fell apart as soon as you put it on your plate. There was ample parking within the beautiful vineyard. I can't think of one thing that could have been better. The food was perfect, the atmosphere was romantic, and the venue just could not have been more special.

Then headed out to the green, got official tour merch, and chatted with Greg, a veteran UIowa event staffer holding it down on the lawn. (He was fantastic, big shoutout Greg!) After sound check, we staked out a great spot for our group, but plenty of people had gotten there well ahead of us and some had even put blankets at the rail! The crowd was pretty navigable, even as it filled in and got dark. I think they could've had the sound louder, but it sounded good. We did spend entirely too long in the food truck line for them to run out. This happened truck by truck leaving many unsatisfied and jumping ship even before trucks closed. And only 5 portapotties were provided for an anticipated crowd of 5000-7000 folks? I ran back inside instead. As with any venue, we waited in the parking lot at least an hour before attempting to even back out of our spots because of the traffic getting out of the lot. Overall a good experience though they seemed unprepared for the impressive crowd.

Well, I can say I finally got to see and experience this updated IC gem this weekend and it does not disappoint. My kiddos got me Mean Girl tickets for Mother's Day last year and alas, it was finally here! The show was dynamite, the venue was gorgeous, acoustics were great and staff were lovely. We got there insanely early, so parking wasn't an issue though I hear closer to showtime it can be! Tickets were priced as you'd expect. Even bathroom lines weren't horrendous, you got in and out no problem. Hancher offers many types of shows, and honestly many don't appeal to me but I appreciate the wide variety they showcase and all of the art they bring to Iowa City! When their new schedule comes out each year I am always sure to take a look, in hopes something catches my eye. I can't wait for my next time enjoying a show at Hancher!

We've lived in Iowa City and worked on campus for a couple of years and (I'm embarrassed to say) finally visited. Pre-1857 Iowa City was the capital of the state of Iowa. This building is THE former state capital. I loved seeing how the building and its artifacts have been preserved. A heck of a lot of history here. We'll be back because there was a private event going on upstairs so we weren't able to explore those floors. Recommend. Consider donating to the museum/university's preservation efforts.

My husband and I had such a great time testing out our creative brains as we painted Picasso-inspired faces. Thankfully, the staff were generous with the paint! I think I asked for more paint 3-4 times... maybe I just like to glob in on, though. :) The space we painted in fit approximately 20-25 people. There was another room where splatter painting occurs. I think every one of us in our group said, "OooooOOOOooooo," as we passed that room on our way out. I will be curious to check it out sometime.
