Communities

Dakota Dunes

Tucked between the Missouri and Big Sioux rivers, Dakota Dunes is a master-planned community just over the South Dakota state line that seamlessly blends businesses and residential properties. About a 10-minute drive from Sioux City, this little gem is a golfer’s paradise, boasting two golf courses (one world-famous!), biking trails, and restaurants.

North Sioux City

A short drive from the city proper, North Sioux City is a Siouxland community with an identity all its own. From discovering the natural world to getting your heart pumping at sporting events to dining on “The Strip,” this little community is well worth the trip.

Sergeant Bluff

Sergeant Bluff is a Siouxland destination that feels like a home away from home. Take a quick, 10-minute trip south of the city, and you’ll find a family getaway with a little something for everyone. In addition to being convenient to the airport, Sergeant Bluff has shopping, dining, and athletic recreation to bring the whole gang together.

Sioux City

Nestled along the Missouri River in western Iowa, Sioux City is the state’s 4th largest city, a vibrant melding of midwestern hospitality and all the excitement of a major metropolis. Explore immersive history at our many museums and pulse-pounding major sporting events held here year-round. Explore our historic and entertainment districts for unique shopping, dining, and nightlife. There is so much to explore in Sioux City. Better get exploring!

South Sioux City

Nestled right next to Iowa and South Dakota in the Tri-State Region is South Sioux City, NE, “Where Quality of Life is a Cardinal Rule!” We are the portal to two Nebraska Scenic Byways: The Lewis and Clark Scenic Byway and the Outlaw Trail. Combs School was built in 1857 and closed in 1964. The frame schoolhouse is part of Nebraska’s pioneer heritage- the oldest school building in Dakota County and one of the oldest in Nebraska. The O’Connor House is a 14-room mansion located 1 mile east of Homer. Constructed over a 10-year period from 1865-1875, the mansion was built on a rock. Listed on the National Register of Historic places, it is run by the Dakota County Historical Society. Scenic Park has a YMCA, tennis court, swimming pool, 5 softball/baseball fields, 15 soccer fields and miles of paved walking and biking trails.

Woodbury County

Woodbury County is home to a good portion of the Siouxland communities — including its seat, Sioux City — and many road trip-worthy destinations to check out while you’re there. Blending urban, suburban, and rural attractions, Woodbury County compliments a bustling cityscape with wide open spaces and all-around family fun.

🕵️‍♂️🔍 Get a CLUE… or at least try to!

Murder, mystery, and nonstop laughs are taking over the Orpheum Theatre. Six suspicious guests. One eerie mansion. One very unfortunate victim. 👀

Put your detective skills to the test and see if you can crack the case before the final reveal. Was it Colonel Mustard? Miss Scarlet? Or someone hiding in plain sight?

Based on the iconic board game and cult-favorite film, CLUE delivers quick wit, big laughs, and plenty of twists along the way.
