Built in 1937, the scenic city empress boat club runs during the summer months, May to mid-October. The boat goes up and down the Iowa River in the Iowa Falls area, where the water is deep enough. There is a covered lower section which is catered during dinner cruises, which seats 44 people. There is also a upper-deck which seats another 50 people when the weather is nice and for non-dinner cruises. The rides last for about an hour and a half. The tour guide tells you about the history of the Iowa River and Iowa Falls area.
Find places to learn like the Calkin's Nature Center, the Ira Nichols Bird Refuge, or the Scenic City Empress. Also find places to just relax on a summer day.
