Council Bluffs and related destinations

Across the Missouri River from Omaha sits a city where railroad history comes alive at the Union Pacific Railroad Museum, with interactive exhibits that delight train buffs. The Historic General Dodge House showcases the life of a transcontinental railroad pioneer. Casino lights brighten the riverfront, where entertainment venues offer shows without gambling pressure. Summer brings outdoor concerts at Stir Cove and Westfair Amphitheatre. The quirky Squirrel Cage Jail captivates visitors with its rotating cell design—a 19th-century innovation both ingenious and slightly mad. Families can explore RailsWest Railroad Museum's vintage locomotives and visit the nearby zoo for a perfect day trip.

10/10 Excellent
"The room was very outdated and musty. Our towels were musty and had yellow on them like they were smoked around or just absorbed air odor. The bed was actually very comfortable. We slept great. Breakfast was great."
