Hawkeye Downs Speedway & Expo Center

Very large building available for rent. I have participated in several Made in Iowa events at this location, and it's been wonderful! Plenty of parking, room for 140+ vendors indoors, a full racetrack, concession areas. Slightly outdated, but could be improved with some paint and new lighting!

We had a lot of fun but feel it's not right that you have to buy water. No drinking fountains!

Decent expo center. Attended Dinosaur Adventurem with roommate and his daughter. A good time was had by all!!

This is definitely a go if you know type of place. It’s a specific genre of fun. If you like loud disorganized short lived fun with not much to do in between then it’s for you. Don’t want to complain about food as I didn’t purchase my own. But maybe invest in a microwave!?!?! Air temp cheeseburgers don’t really get the job done. The ONLY reason I’ll give 2 stars was the sweet old lady at the mercy stand and some of the faculty staff. They were extremely nice and friendly.

Fun event and easy to get to. It is a bit out of the way but in a good way. Gets you out of CR proper giving you a chance to view surrounding communities.

We really love coming and watching the races here, it's a lot of fun and the food is really good too! We try to come a few times in the summer!

Great for some weekend fun. Might get a bit too loud at times, carry ear plugs.

It was a very nice mothers days event !!! I would pay 5.00 and go again. Thank you !!

When to a gun show here over the weekend, not the best expo for a gun shop but it works, they've had quite a few gun shows here along with some other stuff, but I've only been in this expo for gun shows, they have a lot of dealers from the area and is usually $6 for an adult 13 and up and $1 for 12 and under. They have a concession stand and they do sell beer, so if you want you can buy beer, guns, and ammo along with knifes and other misc things they have here. There is a gun safe vendor there he (the vendor) has some nice safes and they are made right here in Iowa. If you see a that there is going to be a gun show here then I suggests you go check it out! Gun shows are great for people watching and then after you do that you should be ready to buy one or two for yourself.
