Bloomington: Your Winter Break Family Destination

This December you won’t have to travel far to have a holiday experience rivaling what you’d find in “destination” cities! Best of all, you’ll get to enjoy them at affordable Bloomington prices.

WonderLab

Start your day at the award-winning WonderLab, the hands-on science museum in downtown Bloomington. While there, you can explore the 26 interactive stations of the special exhibition Science from A to Z. Programs throughout the month add to the enrichment. Meet live reindeer during shows which highlight the adaptations of Arctic animals to their climate (December 19 and 20), or take in fire and ice science shows (December 22). As the month draws to a close, play a round of Science Masters Mini Golf inside WonderLab (December 29-31)! Each hole will have a surprising, themed challenge related to a different scientist and the work for which s/he is known. Pick up the December issue of Indy’s Child for a free museum admission coupon good through January 3.

Cardinal Stage Company’s

Continue your enriching day with Cardinal Stage Company’s top-notch production of the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious musical Mary Poppins at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, just a short walk from WonderLab.

Shows will be at 2 pm and 6 pm on selected days from December 18 through January 2. Get $3 off per ticket with the promotional code INDYSCHILD when you buy your tickets online.
