I see the Family every time I go to Iowa City or Des Moines. They are still on the minigolf course next to a swimming pool, and they are visible year-round. They are easily seen while westbound on I-80, or follow the directions that you provide for a close-up.

Just saw them from I-80 on right heading west by a swimming pool. They must have moved.
[Linda Whitehead & Gary Quitslund, 09/23/2015] Anyone who remembers these four figures from on top of A&W stores will smile seeing them in the mini golf course.
You'll need to turn on 306th, which is a dirt and gravel road, and parallel the interstate. We felt like we must have taken a wrong turn, but kept going. You'll go around a bend, and eventually will hit a small stretch of pavement. You've entered the campground. Drive straight down the hill and the mini golf course is on your right. You'll be very close to them even without entering the mini golf course.
Remember to stop at the convenience store for root beers before you get back on the interstate!

Vintage A&W Teen Burger fiberglass statue, a type that first appeared in 1964, was restored in 2015. The frosty mug-hoisting "Great Root Beer Bear," a smaller statue, was the mascot of a later fast food promotion, in 1974.
