The Gracie Barra family is friendly, helpful, and very encouraging.

BEST DECISION WE'VE MADE THIS YEAR!…read more Our family joined Coffrin's Martial Arts this year, and we underestimated the positive impact it would have on us! Our three children (two sons, and daughter) joined Taekwondo, and they LOVE IT! Our youngest son, 7, has had difficult time adapting to remote learning with school, as he's primarily a kinesthetic learner. He's coming out of his shell with Taekwondo, and it's heartwarming. Our daughter, 5, has found new friends, and takes her personal development with Taekwondo extremely seriously. Seeing her become a strong young lady is inspiring! Our oldest, 9, is setting a great example for the younger two! I've personally joined Krav Maga, as it's INCLUDED with our family membership. For no additional cost, I've been able to challenge myself to learn new skills. In a short time, it's made an amazing improvement to my life. I personally have a challenging time with social anxiety, which made me extremely apprehensive about starting. However, every member of the class made me feel welcome, and have helped me feel a sense of belonging. Senior Master Coffrin, Ms. Coffrin, and their entire staff have all made our entire family feel like we're part of something bigger. Their consistency, discipline, and genuine caring is breathtaking. The culture that they've created is astounding, and quite frankly, a much needed antidote to chaos that surrounds us. When we joined, I thought the kids would learn martial arts... ...but the lessons learned from the Coffrin's have been MORE VALUABLE OFF THE MAT. Coffrin's ATA Martial Arts earns my highest recommendation for anyone trying to improve themselves, their family, and/or their community.

Miller Park is also a place for other recreational activities such as shooting hoops and walking. Has a playground to entertain young children. There's also a lake that has a cool bridge that makes for classic scenery. An interesting history about it. It's the largest park in the city to be sure. The park is best known for the zoo. Actually it has an interesting history itself. The zoo has its own business page on Yelp. As for the rest of the park, there's other stuff worth exploring. There's a pretty big lake. Go take a walk across the stone bridge. The park also has a mini golf course and softball fields among other things. Also check out a preserved steam locomotive. There's also a pavilion for those wanting to have a picnic. Has lots of activities throughout the year including festivals and fireworks. It's located east of Morris Avenue and south of Wood Street.

Sholem provided the perfect spot for this morning's swim! While I can't speak to this facility during a busier time, I can speak to my experience in the pools earlier hours. I was able to walk up to their admission desk and, after talking briefly with the friendly desk worker, I paid my $6 to swim and headed into the locker room. During my swim, there was never more than 4 people in the pool and I was able to swim in one of their 3 lanes for most of my swim. Additionally, while the air was a little chilly this morning, the pool temperature was perfect! I thoroughly enjoyed my swim and would recommend this spot to anyone looking. I also eyed a pretty awesome lazy river that I'd like to take a few laps through if I find myself itching to swim again before I head back to St. Louis!

Review Visit: October 22nd, 2014…read more Holiday Park was a nice stop in Bloomington. It came at the tail end of a day of exploring a lot of parks in Bloomington. From what I remember, it was a pretty nice park. Bigger than I was expecting. There is a pool/swimming area for people of all ages to enjoy. It was closed for the season when I visited. There was a big lake adjacent to it that was nice to walk along. It would've been cool to experience the water park, but there is always another day. If you are in the area and the season is just right, take your family/kids/friends/strangers (okay, maybe not strangers) to the park. Between the pool, playground area, a lake to walk along, its a nice little gem of a place to visit.
