The film quality is great, especially because it gets so dark out in the wooded area. You can always see a sky full of stars while the movies are playing (shooting stars have been seen)! Everything is affordable, all soda drinks and popcorn sizes have endless refills, and as you can see in the photo, you really don't need a refill if you get a large!! I highly recommend visiting for some movies if you get the chance.

Even worse, the pinball games which you have to pay to play (rather than being part of the door charge) are all busted in one way or another and you don't get refunds. For a dollar a game, you're gonna spend a buck on each to find out that they're all broken. It's inexcusable. It makes me sad but I won't be returning until the games are properly serviced, I can get drinks anywhere else.

This is a fun event that is helmed by the Bloomington Independent Restaurant Association…read more How it Works: Buy a ticket and then enjoy the live entertainment along with being able to get 'samples' of food from the restaurants for just $1/item. 4-5 'samples' totally make a meal. The goal of the event it to get people (especially new IU students) to know about the many independent restaurants that are located next to campus. A great concept and a fun event. What is Great: 1) Music - the live world music was great! 2) Food - I loved being able to try items that I had not had before, I trying new items at old favorite restaurants will greatly increase my patronage as I know more of what I can get, move craves = more visits, 3) Restaurant Entry - I liked that for some of the restaurants, you had to enter the building to go to the food - it was a good mix of on the street and in the restaurant, 4) Beer/Wine Tent - I didn't patron it but it looked like they had a nice selection, 5) Safety - the organizers did a great job laying out an emergency plan, there was a brief note on the 'program' to let us all know what to do in the event of a emergency - rad, 6) Volunteers - I feel like I spotted a lot of event volunteers - and volunteers make every event better! Room for Improvement: 1) Better Name - I heard a LOT of people referring to this as '4th Street Fest' - which is a completely different event entirely - there is a branding issue here - I think words like 'international' and 'independent' are more important than the location, 2) Ticket Price - I understand that the point of this event is to get students to know about the restaurants but with an entry of $5 for students and a whopping $10 for everybody else, the price bias is just crazy - I think the double fee for those who are not students is a great way to make enemies, I mean, you are basically asking non-students to not come...which is crazy, 3) Participation - I was a little bummed out that some of the restaurants didn't participate, 4) Marketing - I could have used a Facebook event or just more direct awareness coming from the BIRA FB page.

They have a cool water science area for kids complete with rain gear - which is optional do what you want ha. It's just a cool place. It's not too big and it's not too small.

Puppets! Marionettes! Halloween! Oh my!…read more My wife and I took our 3 and 5 year old kids to Nashville a Friday in October to walk and explore. One of the stops was the Melchior Marionette Theatre. I was great fun. It is located right on the main strip of Van Buren Street. The cost is $5 per person - I think two and under are free. The show lasts about 20 minutes and it is well worth the cost. The woman who put it on exhibits a sense of love of her work. The show was very entertaining. Since we were there in October, the theme was a haunted puppet show (slightly haunted - not scary at all). Additionally, there is free popcorn for everyone! Loved the show, the art and the enthusiasm of the owners.
