We saw some blues music here. We are from outta town.....but absolutely love your guys downtown area and stuff. My hats off to the city and community for investing in it and the work y’all have done!!!We loved taking the boy to the splash pad while listening to music...really cool area and was nice to see
Went to a wedding there. A very nice spot.
This is a fabulous event area that is still surrounded by construction. In a few years it will be unlike anything else in Iowa. They bring in great talent along with food vendors and beverages, and it is always a fun evening. We came for fireworks the weekend after the 4th, and it was one of the best displays I have seen.You may have noticed that I give a lot of 5 stars. My lady and I travel all over Iowa and surrounding states, seeing lots of sites, events, restaurants and bars. The ones we like get 5 stars. The ones that dont warrant it will do not rate. I dont like to say bad things about establishments.
Since covid and quarantine began it got me hooked on playing Pokémon Go again. It is the easiest and one of the best places in Waterloo to go in a car to get Poké stops and gyms!
Clean, playground taped off at the moment. Right off the water. Can exercise on steps. Nothing to guard water off so watch your children.
An amazing place to visit.. love taking the kids to the splash pad and watching them play and then having a seat and watching the river. They also hold events when you can have a movie night or a band.. they have school functions their also.. an amazing place with an amazing view
It is a wonderful modern stage that is right up against the river. It is open air so you may want to be prepared for the elements, but seating is great. It is a wonderful outdoor amphitheatre!
This is a great place for live shows, afternoon walks, arts events, and playing Pokemon Go. There is a beautiful fountain, and many works of sculpture art are displayed behind the building. There is a playground for the kids which is a LOT of fun! It has little water sprinklers in the summer time. Best of all, its home to the Waterloo Center for the Arts, which is a marvelous experience unto itself!
Beautiful, clean, comfortable riverside are. There is limited amount of shade. If you dont mind getting a little wet there is a free splash pad to help you stay nice and cool. Only been once but already planning to go again!
Not very enjoyable. Parking availability Sucks, for people that have issues with walking so I just avoid going to events. The new building going up in adjacent to the facility is nothing but an eye sore and makes me feel crowded. Bad choices for a nice concept. : (
Lights river seating music marks remodeled waterspinklers.
Small but quaint outdoor stage on the Cedar River. New and very clean. The city hosts a variety of free music events here. Right next to the brewery and a kids splash pad. A good addition to the city for sure.
A great outdoor venue when the weather is nice! Parking generally sucks for large events. There are usually public restrooms available. Love the native plantings and well kept lawn!
Always have a great time when we visit. Its a lot of fun to watch bands play and different cultures come in and sale products such as jewelry clothing food and many other things that come from there country.
Love going tmand sitting here early morning or late late night when nobody is around and just relaxing enjoying the sights and the tranquility. Its absolutely beautiful!!
This has been my place to go since summer 2016, I find it so relaxing at night and yet exciting during the day. A spot to bring your kids to the splash pad, or sit down relax, meditate, and listen to the dinner flowing at glistening lights at night
Went here for the splash pad. It was pretty great. The only drawback is if you go on Mondays they dont have a public restroom. Also there was algea growing under the seating area.
Great fun place for kids events and water are when its weather appropriate
Have to get there way too early to get a good seat, but the splash pad is right there.
Nice events they have here. Fireworks show was great! And the Brazilian Twins!!!
Beautiful. Very lovely location thats close to my heart. Also caught some neato pokemons there tonight
This is a great construction added to the Waterloo downtown area. Theres even a splash pad right next to it.
Its really good and cool for pokestops, they have a place inside for kids and its was awesome. And they do outside movies for deaf people
Great live music, and movies under the stars. Great place to watch the fireworks
Great outdoor space overlooking the Cedar River. There is a fountain park for kids so bring extra clothes and a towel. Music can be heard all around the Amphitheater, not just in the Amphitheater which is nice because you can sit on the grass and still be a part of the show. It does seem difficult for the handicap to get to the actual amphitheater due to parking and ramp limitation. I would like to see more events there and/or better publicized.
A super attractive place to see a show or host one. Beautifully located on the river with stone grass or stadium seating available. One of the best amphitheaters I’ve seen. Even President Obama spoke here!
Very nice outside amphitheater, right on the Cedar River!
It was nice but there where a few cement tiles loose
If I could give no stars it would be perfect. Planned our wedding there and was told everything is good to go. Until the ignorance of the employees shined through. They canceled our reservation of the amphitheater without telling us and basically said oh well. Do not donate any money or support this joke if a center for the arts. Low class, low intelligence, back stabbers!
Lovely view
Really cool vibe. Nice locale.
Downtown fireworks was s little ok concert to long fireworks show to short.
Great venue! Beautiful area!
A great place to enjoy the outdoors.
Went to the fridayloo great views of the river
I go here and play Pokemon go. Very fun in the nicer seasons to go walk through with the kids. Splash pad is always fun in the summer with then As well. And they have a play ground As well.
Beautiful. Also, splash pad for kidos
Beautiful place to be
Great place for concerts and is so family friendly! Take your kids to the splash pad! In this heat, theyll love it!
Would be great for live music events!
Too much of nothing
The watwr wasnt on
I found my new get away
Great for pokemon go
Its very pretty with a lot of good spots to take pictures9.5 would recommend
Great addition to the city. The only reason this rating isnt a 5 is because of the difficulty the elderly and handicapped have getting there... not impossible, but difficult
Love attending concerts there. Pretty venue on Cedar
Great fun for free at Marks Park. Also, love having church service at the amphitheatre.
Great place overlooking the river. Great concerts performed there nice place on a warm summer night
I primarily go there to play Pokemon go, as its the busiest place for Pokemon go players at Waterloo
Cold but great music
Beautiful and relaxing venue. A very nice addition to the riverfront in Waterloo!
Always has good music
Awesome place! Really well developed and super fun during the summer. The splash pad attracts families every nice day of the year!
The Riverloop Amphithe theatre great place for any function
Great Addition to Cedar Valley.
Nice sound, nice view.
One of my favorite places in Waterloo. This has really added to downtown life and the community overall. And theres potential for even more (e.g., bringing national musicians).
Nice place to relax and watch and listen to the river
Great fireworks this year!
Beautiful spot by the Cedar River. Nice place for events.
Nice place to go on a walk
Great acoustics to watch your new favorite band.
Good environment
We came mostly for the splash pad. Parents of young children should be made aware that the splash pad is not entirely enclosed.
Very beautiful place
Love it good place for kids to get rid of some energy
Great place e to go for music
Took a nap on the bench felt very refreshed and energized
Amazing sound amplification. Great built-in lighting effects.
Nice place to listen to bands and they have have a splash pad for kids to play.
Its like you have left Waterloo and went somewhere fancy
Very nice and fun to be at
