Located on the banks of the Mississippi River in the Quad Cities area, Bettendorf is one of Iowa’s best small cities. But it’s never exactly been a thrill-seeker’s destination – until now! We’re thrilled to announce that Bettendorf will soon be home to the state’s first Malibu Jack’s – a new indoor amusement park in Iowa. This unique, small chain can be found in Kentucky and Indiana, but its Hawkeye State debut will be located in Duck Creek Plaza, in the former home of the Schnuck’s Fresh Foods supermarket. That means it will have lots of space for thrills – including an amusement park, go-karts, arcade games, and some surprises for the adults. The business is hard at work transforming the building and is now on track for an early 2024 opening. So stay tuned, because the ride is about to begin!

As Malibu Jack’s Bettendorf is not yet open, the photos of the amusements are taken from the Lexington location. All these exciting features will be making their way to Iowa!
