In addition to cheering on the Hoosiers at Memorial Stadium, the university is home to the Indiana University Arboretum, Dunn Meadow, and Dunn's Woods. Other attractions in Downtown Bloomington include the WonderLab Science Museum, the Monroe County History Center, and the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center.

There's always something happening in Downtown Bloomington, from live music at nightclubs to festivals like Arts Fair on the Square, the Limestone Comedy Festival, the Bloomington Craft Beer Festival, and the 4th Street Festival of the Arts. Downtown is home to the state's largest farmers' market, the Bloomington Community Farmers' Market, held June to September. Walkable and bicycle-friendly, Downtown Bloomington offers a variety of walking and biking trails.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
