What is there to do in the Cedar Rapids, IA area?

Question

My parents recently moved to Cedar Rapids.  I will be visiting them during the week of Christmas.  While they are at work during the days, I would rather not sit in the house watching TV.  I am not a big shopping fanatic, and I don't have tons of money to throw around.  Just looking for real-person suggestions of things to do.
