Return to Nicholas Johnson's Coralville Rain Forest Web Site

I think a re-creation of Ice Age Iowa would be a cooler summertime attraction than a rain forest.

There could be a glacial ice face maintained by Amana technology. The huge glacier would also cool the building. There could be an animation of the giant ground sloth that was just discovered in Iowa.

Ice Age Iowa would even make good use of the noisy Interstate that goes through Coralville. An outdoor prairie restoration would contrast prehistoric Iowa with modern Iowa of passing 18-wheelers.

Ice Age Iowa is a natural for Midwest summer tourism.
