Friday, Mar. 2: Book it UP for March Madness! (5-7 pm)

Union Pacific Museum’s monthly family night will celebrate reading and literacy with storytimes hosted by Iowa Western Community College Reivers from the volleyball, women’s soccer and cheer teams. Other train book related activities will be hosted by Raise Me to Read, Council Bluffs Public Library, Operation Lifesaver, and Pottawattamie County Conservation. Enjoy live music with El Patrón and spin the prize wheel.

Admission is free; however, donations are gladly accepted.

Guests will receive a 2018 punch card upon arrival.  Those who have their card stamped at least seven times this year are eligible to win a six-person trip aboard the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad in Boone, Iowa. The drawing will occur at the Dec. 7, 2018, family night. Winners must be present to win.

Family nights are held the first Friday of every month. In addition to providing extended hours for visitors to access the museum’s range of interactive railroading displays and the history of the west, each family night features a unique art or learning opportunity that is fun for the entire family. Next month’s Family Night is Apr. 6, and will feature the theme “Under the Big Top! Circus Night at the Museum” hosted by the Tangier Shrine.
