Located in downtown Waterloo at 622 Commercial St, Cappella Magna hosts fine dining events for anniversaries, weddings, or office parties.

    If you're looking for an enjoyable and educational experience, look no further than the John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum. Just west of downtown Waterloo, this museum is free for all visitors. Waterloo and Cedar Falls are home to many John Deere employees, so I enjoyed walking through and learning all about this company that has had a big part in the making of our community. And this museum is interactive with exhibits and activities to help you have a full learning experience. My kids really enjoyed sitting inside the large tractor which makes for a great photo op. This place is truly a treat for all ages.
