πŸ‘πŸ‘ The museum was a good place to spend an hour. I would have liked to see more information about individual Iowa high school wrestlers, perhaps a display of 3 and 4 time high school champions. People often mention wrestling,

    The GOAT! In the middle of Downtown Waterloo Iowa. The Dan Gable Wrestling Museum is a living, breathing museum for Wrestling enthusiasts. Pictures, posters, wrestling room, sauna and video room. Bring your family and bring your team. Make sure to say hi to the amazing staff and ask questions. They are the best!

    Staff were awesome and although smaller than I thought it would be, they showcase all the great. It was free to enter, but they do ask for a donation of what you can give.

    It was great to see what you have to look at is the wrestling history back in the 70s, 80s and 90s it was really good to see I'm glad I got to go.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Great park. Playground was lots of fun for my 2 year old. Rubber flooring under them. Large baseball diamonds that were well manicured. The bathrooms are open. They will suit your needs but do not set your expectations high: no garbage cans inside them and no soap to wash your hands. Bring sanitizer...
