What People Are Saying
from Google"Free Wi-Fi, great shops, bars, restaurants, festivals, and events. The Ped Mall is a great spot to visit whether you're visiting or hanging our with friends or family."
"Great place to hang out with friend or family or both. Nice restaurants in the area. Little children's playground. Visit the Public Library to read, to chill, or sleep."
"Tropical music night (Sunset Salsa) in the Iowa City Ped Mall. Held once a month (2nd Saturday of each month). We don't go as often as we'd like, but when we do, we always have a great time."
"What's not to love about the Ped Mall? After a recent multi-million streetscape renovation, the area is infused with better lighting, plantings, art, a new Weatherdance Fountain Stage and much more. Many longtime retailers and restaurants are still thriving, but now there's a welcome, healthy mix of new businesses, too. From women's boutiques to sustainable home goods and performing arts spaces to a movie theater, library and large playground, there's something for the whole family. I love that the city and the Iowa City Downtown District continue to program events like the Downtown Block Party, Small Business Saturday/pop-up shops and live music in the summer. While many cities have tried to master a vibrant, walkable downtown, few communities have been successful at it. Thankfully, Iowa City is one of them."
"What a great place to come with children! We happened to visit during Art Festival. And the place was filled with kids activities and entertainment!"
