The Pink Wall at Fountain Square Mall
Photo op time! Of course we would tell Barbie to go to Fountain Square Mall to snap a few pictures by the pink wall. She can even stop into the mall afterwards to get some more cute clothes. Barbie at EllieMae's Boutique and Ken at Andrew Davis Clothiers? We can see it.

Vintage Shopping
There is no such thing as too much shopping for Barbie. Barbie has been around for over six decades and has changed her style with the times. But no matter the year, Barbie still loves to wear a vintage look. In Bloomington, Barbie can enjoy some vintage shopping at various different shops, including Cherry Canary Vintage Clothing. She can also grab some vintage home decor at places like Lola + Co to spice up her Dream House.

Lunch Time
After all that shopping, it is time for lunch. Barbie should try a great restaurant with vintage feels, like FARM Bloomington. For Ken and his horse obsession, a restaurant like Trojan Horse would be perfect. But sorry Ken, horses don't run Bloomington either.

Go Roller Skating
We all know Barbie can roller skate and she can do it right here in Bloomington. Western Skateland is a fun place for all ages. Can't skate? They even have skating lessons for those who are wanting to learn. Barbie doesn't need an electric scooter when she has skates!

Hit the Lakes
Venice Beach, but make it Monroe Lake. One of Barbie's favorite activities is enjoying the beach and Ken's job is... Beach. While in the movie they go to Venice Beach, here Barbie can enjoy the lakes. With options to rent fun equipment, get in the water, or just hang out in the sand, the Bloomington lakes are always the best.

See Her Movie
After a long day, Barbie can sit down, relax and watch her movie. Bloomington has both an East and Westside AMC for you to enjoy the new Barbie movie. Bloomington also has two local venues, the Starlite Drive-In Theater and IU Cinema, for a more intimate experience. Thanks for coming to Bloomington, Barbie!
