"Yelp analyzed bookmarking behavior to identify the most saved kids activity in every US state (plus DC), based on real engagement with businesses in the Kids Activities category."

Based on Yelp's criteria, the most saved kids activity in the state of Iowa is Maker’s Club in Dubuque!

About Maker's Club

According to the business' website, Maker's Club is an art studio that first got its start in McHenry, Illinois in 2019. In 2023, the business moved to 950 Main St in Dubuque, and within its first year, it was named the “Best Art School in Dubuque!”

The most popular activity at Maker's Club is their 'Paint-Your-Own-Pottery' option, which can be enjoyed by both kids and adults. The site says that Paint-Your-Own-Pottery starts at just $12, depending on which ceramic you decide to paint. You can also book the space for private birthday parties and other small to mid-size events. The site says that "seating for up to 24 people is available, but we can accommodate up to 47 with advance notice."

And speaking of pottery, pottery classes are also something that Maker's Club offers. You can learn to use the pottery wheel, or sign up for one of the many other art classes, including mosaic projects, leather & wood kits, jewelry making, resin art, and more!

"Such a great experience at Maker's Club! I brought my nieces (9, 10, and 13), and none of us had ever used a pottery wheel before. The owner was amazing—so instructive, patient, and encouraging. She made learning fun for all ages, and we had a blast. We can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend!"
