UNleash Family Week 2021 in Council Bluffs!

This blog contains information about an event that has already passed. Check out our blogs for more family-friendly ideas in Council Bluffs! 

For the first time ever, the Iowa High School Athletic Association and Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union have announced a moratorium on high school sports and activities for a week this summer. From July 25 – August 1, these organizations encourage families to prioritize time outside of sports for rest and relaxation.

This week means that many families will get a whole week to make memories with each other and explore their hometowns! The Council Bluffs Convention & Visitors Bureau and Iowa Tourism Office encourage you to participate in Family Week by visiting a local attraction, grabbing a bite to eat from a locally owned restaurant, or staying overnight in a hotel for a family fun staycation!

As an added bonus, several local hotel properties are offering a special discounted rate for you and your family! Check out our hotel packages to browse and book today.
