The Towne Square Cinema has three screens and always offers an adult and child friendly film. I've been here many times with friends and family and am always pleased with my visit. Oh!

Just know that the theatre is a great option. :)

Towne Square Cinema offers three screens in a beautiful historic building with extremely reasonable ticket and concession prices. Ticket prices are $7 for a 2D movie & $10 for a 3D movie. In the concession aspect, they offer different popcorn combos and seasonal specials, a variety of candy, dippin dots, pickles, flavored popcorn, and fountain & bottled beverages. Example of a combo would be - 2 medium drinks and a large popcorn (with up to four smaller bags of popcorn on the side) for $11.25 - what a steal. This movie theater also offers private parties (for a great price) where you can watch any of the movies playing, bring in a movie of your own, or even hook up game consoles and play video games on the big screen! Are you ready for this one? You can even host a SLEEPOVER at the cinema. That's right - a sleepover. If you're ever looking for something fun to do in Winchester, make sure you visit Towne Square Cinema!

I'd only seen Ball State University's Emens Auditorium on one occasion, though a recent opportunity…read moreto attend a concert here in which a friend was performing finally gave me the chance to really check it out. The basics: Emens Auditorium is part of Ball State University and is named after Ball State's sixth president - John R. Emens. It was officially dedicated in 1964 after years of planning and no tax dollars were used for what was originally a $3 million facility and Ball State's first capital campaign. Emens originally had 3,581 seats. However, due to upgrades and various seat replacements (along with accessibility upgrades) this is currently reduced to 3,309. Over 1,000 seats are in the balcony alone. There's no question that Emens is considered a regional facility of choice. Performances have included President Ford, David Letterman, Stevie Wonder, Louis Armstrong, Victor Borge, Magician David Copperfield, comedian Adam Sandler, musical Cats, and Les Miserables, Red Skelton, B. B. King, The Temptations, Third Eye Blind, and the Dixie Chicks among many others. Accessible parking is typically located in the lot to the east of the Health Professionals Building off Riverside Avenue. There's also a shuttle available for those unable to walk the distance. There's also an option for patrons to be dropped off in the circle drive located at the main entrance of Emens. Emens does have an accessible elevator and offers accessible seating throughout the auditorium (I personally verified this as sometimes facilities will say this but it's not quite true). Ball State, for the record, has a well-earned reputation as one of Indiana's most accessible college campuses. They also offer swing-arm seating (wheelchair users will understand this) to help with transfers. Emens offers Infrared listening systems for those with hearing impairments and will arrange interpreters with at least two weeks notice (this is a fairly standard time frame, though I'll admit it doesn't thrill me). Emens has restroom facilities on each level and two single-user, generally considered accessible, on the main level. The sound in Emens is pretty close to phenomenal. The event I attended was a more classic era music event and I found sound quality to be pristine. While I didn't move around a whole lot, anywhere I went the sound quality didn't change. Ticket prices obviously vary per event. Generally, I find public tickets to be a notch below your market rate since this is a college campus. Prices for Ball State students are usually quite phenomenal and considering the quality of shows here that's a huge perk of being a student. The same is true for refreshments - I wouldn't expect this to be like your usual concert venue, but there are typically some options available (anything alcohol related is a bit rare but does happen; Ball State is a smoke-free campus). While Muncie isn't that far from Indie, the never-ending work on I-69 can make it a bit of a chore. Getting to Emens is a bit weird if you've never been here and I'd definitely plan some "Do I turn here?" time for the first visit. However, it's easily worth it. Muncie also has a decent hotel scene if you want to stay overnight (I recommend the Courtyard by Marriott which is owned by Arc of Indiana and actively trains and employs people with disabilities). The one thing I can't answer (and would like to as a creative myself) is how accessible the stage/backstage area is for performers with disabilities. I'm going to try to explore this in future visits. Now that I've finally had the chance to experience the fullness of Emens, there's simply no doubt I'll be back. In fact, I'm sitting here looking at the calendar now!

The restrooms had mirrors, which differed from the Indy Speedrome. They were decorated pretty nicely too. They had a concession stand with food, and many stands and a few food trucks. There was a cotton candy stand, ice cream, and beer stand. The prices were pricey but not too terrible. It was $12 for adults and less for children. They take credit cards at the ticket booth, but the food stands you need cash. Unfortunately there weren't a ton of racers. It was still exciting, like I said, I love the Speedrome. But the main event, the figure 8, there were only 7 cars. The track is so big the cars barely made contact. There were 4 races and then the figure 8 to end the night. They have different types of cars in each race. One of the races they had minis, which were so cute! Hopefully they can get more racers involved. I'd hate to see the place not make it. It's a lot of fun and really exciting to watch!

There is something for everyone. Lots of great food, both fair type and that served up by local churches and organizations. There were even two places that sold ice cream made the old fashioned way. They each had fun setups that churned the ice cream. Sadly each time we went by they were making the ice cream and it wasn't ready. My husband loved seeing the large number of old tractors. On Saturday morning there is also a parade with the old tractors. There is live music and a field full of inflatables and horse rides for the kids. There is even a cornhole tournament where you can pay $10 for a team of two to compete. They also have rows of vendors selling all kinds of things. From clothes to shoes to honey and soap. I would definitely recommend you check it out. Fun way to get out with the family while supporting the local community. If you go from here to Matthews town you will find big rummage sales spread out all over town. And more fair type food being served up.

So, I guess, if you know, you know. But if you don't know? Then, in the words of the late Biggie Smalls, aka the Notorious B.I.G. (RIP): If you don't know, now you know. Either way, you'll find this surprisingly large art museum in Ball State's Old Quad. Parking is kind of a pain: You'll need to park in one of the metered lots. Make sure you pay! Those campus parking attendants don't play and are always out in full force. The museum houses works of art from all around the world. I saw everything from African masks to Greek statues. It's kind of amazing to me the amount of art this place holds. There are two stories of things to see. I forgot that I was on a college campus -- it really is a real-deal art museum. Best of all: This museum is free! Just stroll right in and peruse at your leisure. Just don't plan to visit on a Sunday or Monday, because it's closed on those days.
