Review & FAQ:

Situated directly on the Iowa/Nebraska border and a very short commute from Omaha, Council Bluffs maintains that authentic small midwestern town charm while also providing access to many amenities, attractions, and large town features. From the Council Bluffs Farmers Market to the various golf courses, Harrah's Casino and Hotel to the Great Plains Wing Museum, Council Bluffs has something for every type of visitor, whether they are solo travelling history buffs or a family travelling on a relaxing vacation. All guests, however, are encouraged to visit the Union Pacific Railroad Museum as it paints a clear picture of the development of many midwestern cities.
