Iowa has some great amusement parks, from the world-famous Adventureland to the charmingly retro Arnolds Park and the fantastical Lost Island. But for the littlest amusement-seekers out there, they might just be a little too big. Fortunately, Davenport has a hidden surprise just for them. This miniature amusement park in Iowa is located in a baseball stadium, Modern Woodmen Park, which plays host to the Quad Cities River Bandits. Next to the ballpark is a small carnival hosting a carousel, a towering Ferris wheel, and even a kid-sized roller coaster! Packed with fun for the little ones and some thrills for bigger kids-at-heart, this mini-park is a new game-day tradition and is also open on weekends even when there is no home game.

Modern Woodmen Park is a great place to spend the day watching a ball game, but it also has a big surprise.
