Council Bluffs is a city in and the county seat of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, United States. The city is the most populous in Southwest Iowa, and a principal city in the Omaha–Council Bluffs metropolitan area. It is located on the east bank of the Missouri River, across from Omaha, Nebraska. Council Bluffs was known, until at least 1853, as Kanesville. It was the historic starting point of the Mormon Trail.

A free museum located in the downtown Council Bluffs area. Must park along in the meters along the street, but was able to find those without too much trouble. Museum is great for kids with the interactive exhibits and great for adults with all of the information about the Union Pacific railroad.

During a visit the Omaha we wanted to check out a movie theatre and happened on this theatre as one close to our hotel. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice, clean and efficient this theatre was. They have a full bar on site, you can even bring your drinks into the theatre. We were there on a weeknight and the place was so quiet. The concession was fast and easy. What really excited us about this theatre were the plus red leather chairs that recline and have foot rests. Something we had never seen in a traditional movie theatre. This was the most enjoyable and comfortable I have every had/felt in a theatre. We even decided to come back a second night just to experience it again but didn't stay as the move choices had changed and we didn't want to see any of them.
