Tibetan Mongolian Cultural Center
The Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center is one of the most unique attractions in the state of Indiana and the only place you'll find authentic Tibetan chortens in the United States. You'll find hours of inspiration here wandering the grounds and the temple.
The Wood Shop at Upland Brewing Co
Barrels and beautiful beer always look good, especially at The Wood Shop.
Winery Vineyards
We're so lucky to have two gorgeous vineyards in Bloomington. Butler Winery and Oliver Winery are just a short drive from downtown but feel like a world away.
Dunn Woods
Did you know there is a forest in the middle of campus?
Hickory Ridge Fire Tower
Hard to beat panoramic views of the Hoosier National Forest. Make sure you make the climb in the fall to see a myriad of colors.
Jordan Hall Greenhouse
Take a trip to the rainforest and the desert without leaving campus at the Jordan Hall Greenhouse.
Oddball Fermentables
Have you ever heard of cyser? It's a delicious cross between cider and mead. Sip it from the source at Oddball Fermentables in their cozy little tasting room.
Fountain Square Mall
The pink walls of Fountain Square Mall absolutely standout downtown. Don't miss snapping the flower boxes in the spring and summer.
Cardinal Spirits
For some of the most beautiful cocktails (and now food!) in town head to Cardinal Spirits. They have killer natural lighting by the windows or just chill out on the deck.
Hopscotch Coffee
Hopscotch gives latte art a whole new meaning. The decor is pretty freaking cute too. Don't forget to check out their latest outpost downtown near Bloomingfoods too.
Cup & Kettle Tea Co.
Cup & Kettle is totally gram-worthy with their adorable kettles, fresh flowers, and a wall of tea.
Amy Weingartner Branigin Peninsula
The newest Sycamore Land Trust property is a unique peninsula trail that juts out into Monroe Lake. Head out to Amy Weingartner Branigin Peninsula for some epic sunrise and sunset photos.
Indiana Memorial Union
The Indiana Memorial Union is a staple of IU. The huge limestone building is picturesque on the outside but the interior is on another level. Between the south lobby, bowling and billiards, and bakery, you'll have content for days.
People's Park Mural
This artwork is fairly new to town and has quickly become a favorite. Located steps from the Sample Gates, this mural is screaming for a photo.
The Graduate Bloomington and Poindexter Coffee
Graduate Bloomington is the latest addition to the hotel lineup in town. The entire space, floor to ceiling, screams Indiana and IU. The fun hotel is also located on Kirkwood Avenue putting you within steps of other Insta-worthy spots. Poindexter Coffee is the restaurant attached and is just as photogenic. Similar to the Graduate, it gives you an old-time feel with a modern twist (which is great for the 'gram).
