Cedar Rapids
About 137,000 people.
Cedar Rapids is the second biggest city in Iowa and sits along the Cedar River. It is famous for making cereal and other foods, so it sometimes smells like breakfast!
You can explore the Czech and Slovak Museum, visit the animals at the Indian Creek Nature Center, or see art at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art.
