This year, experience Dubuque, Iowa.

Nestled in the bluffs of the mighty Mississippi you will find Dubuque, Iowa. Come get lost in the rich history and explore the ways in which Dubuque is paving the way into the future. The America's River Project at the Port of Dubuque, a nearly $400 million river-front development, brings unique educa-tional and recreational activities to the area.

America's River is part history, part recreation, part education–and all excitement! It offers the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium, Mississippi River-walk, the Grand River Center, The Grand Harbor Resort and Waterpark, riverboat access, casino-style gambling and more.

There's an adventure at every turn as you enter the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium—a Smithsonian Institution affiliate. Some of the adventures include coming nose-to-nose with an alligator, otters, diving ducks, frogs, turtles and snakes of America's most famous river. The 70-foot wall of water that makes up the main channel aquarium is a visitor favorite. Experience firsthand a variety of critters, from an eight-foot gator to a one-inch tree frog.

Dubuque is overflowing with things to do and see. Take a stroll along the Mississippi Riverwalk, then ride on the Fenelon Place Elevator and explore the Victorian architecture that adorns its bluffs. Try your luck in one of Dubuque's state-of-the-art casinos or enjoy all the sights, sounds and tastes of festivals year-round in Dubuque. Sip on a glass of locally made wine or toast with a local brew. Spend the day hiking and biking or skiing and snowboarding. Enjoy the camaraderie of friends while you bowl a few games or shop the one-of-a-kind boutique stores.
