Special section just for kids activities!
"Kid's Corner" is especially for kids. The Cedar Rapids Public Library has a lot of activities, along with many other organizations.
On the "Movies" page you will find lists of local theatres that will link to their sites so you can see what is playing at what time.
On the "Places To See" page I have included historical sites, museums, art galleries and other places of interest.
Under "Performances" there is live theatre, concerts, plays, symphony and opera.
"Events-Sports" has links to the Cedar Rapids Roughriders Hockey team and The Kernels Baseball team, college sports events, sports recreation centers including golf, bowling, swimming, tennis, hiking trails and more! Also there are exhibits, interactive events, dance clubs, competitions and festivals.
