The Marion AMC closed & now as of the last 4 months. I go to movie at least twice a week. How many…read moretimes people came in 45 minutes to a hour into the film. Talking very loud like a film has not been playing. Just adults who don't know how to act in a theater. I have been threatened many times. My last time I filled AMC on everything in corporate. But they are only using AI now. I was going to try to get the manager someone cause the whole theater was screaming at kids who walked in 40 min into obsession. All of them high and everyone started yelling at them. I left and got body checked then threatened the whole way out to beat my a** and calling me gay hate names. The manager didn't do 1 thing but again just look confused. She could have walked them in like other theaters do. I mean DO NOT GO TO THIS THEATER. The amount of fights that are happening then they will use your A list member. I was the only one they had a name of. So I have horrific footage of it all. Which I will be posting on Reddit. Because people taking Children here. Think twice they will NOT PROTECT YOU THERE. I have seen so much in these last 4 months. Me & my partner & mother took a 3 week break. Hoping AMC would protect the people coming. Fights are happening 5 to 10 times a week. & it will only get worse & worse. You sadly can't trust AMC to protect you or your kids. Some of these people fighting is all they know. & if AMC did walk through this would happen far less. Called 5 different theaters & all of them do Walk throughs! Don't let film be ruined for you here. Just go Emagine Theater or Regal or the best DraftHouse. They have someone outside each theater. & if your late your not aloud in. That's sadly what has to happen because AMC only cares about trying to survive before they go completely bankrupt. But these smaller theaters Make Sure this does not happen. It's incredible the amount of people I have talked to who have told me insane stories about AMC Muncie. The theater is gone now Don't waste your time or energy. Going during the week won't even save you! Trust me!

Admission: $8 per person (ages 1-100) Hours: * Wednesday-Saturday: 10 AM-5 PM * Sunday: 1 PM-5 PM The museum participates in the Access for All program, offering reduced admission and discounted memberships for qualifying families enrolled in programs like SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, and HIP.

Doesn't the name Minnetrista make you think that you'll be visiting a place with puppets? Like…read moremarionettes, right? Well, I hate to disappoint you, but there are no puppets or marionettes here. But there is an exhibit dedicated to Ball jars. Fun fact: Minnetrista was created by the Ball family, who created Ball canning jars, which you can learn about here. They are also the "Ball" behind Ball State University, which is located in Muncie. I had no idea! You will learn interesting facts like these, and others about this area of Indiana, at Minnetrista. The main museum itself is a bit small, and part of it is conference and meeting rooms. But the museum is just one part of Minnetrista. This is actually a 40-acre campus with gardens and paved trails. As you stroll along the grounds, you'll come across some houses. Some of the houses are part of Minnetrista, and you are welcome to pop inside and check out what's going on. What's going on in one of them is an exhibit dedicated to Bob Ross, the painter. At the Bob Ross Experience, you can step inside the historic home where The Joy of Painting was filmed, and see some of the actual filming equipment and art supplies that were used to create the television show. It's sort of surreal that Bob was painting his happy little trees right here in humble Muncie. Some of the houses that you encounter are not a part of Minnetrista, but belong to IU Health or other entities. It's not really clearly marked on the houses which is which. I'm sure if you consulted a map, it might tell you! I consulted no such map, and I was just walking around blindly. I visited during the late fall, when it was cold and the gardens were dormant, for the most part. But I bet this place is amazing in the spring and summer, when everything is in bloom.

Minnetrista is an event center and museum that was built in 1988 by the five Ball brothers. The…read moremodern center is part of a complex of museums and gardens on the former Ball property that sits across from the White River in Muncie. There is an admission fee to visit the galleries of $15/adult and $12/child, but the ticket grants admission to the other museums and garden as well. During our visit, we saw the Narwhal exhibit, which is a small exhibit dedicated to narwhals. A curator greeted us at the entrance and was available to answer questions. My granddaughter is a narwhal fan enjoyed the interactive displays. We also visited a special children's exhibit called Good Night Forest. Again a curator welcomed us and invited us to build a backpack and enjoy the nighttime activities set up for the kids. My granddaughter loved the firer fly dance, wandering through the dark forest listening for animals and the shadow puppet show. There were fun and educational activities suitable for all ages. We also visited a permanent exhibit describing the Ball Store History. I liked seeing all the vintage items and describing them to my granddaughter. We also toured a display for a local artist competition. The staff is super friendly and engaging. The center is immaculate and accessible. There is plenty of parking in their dedicated lot. Minnetrista is a great legacy from the Ball family to the community. Exhibits change and can be found on their website. I highly recommend a visit if you like art and history.

Jimi Hendrix played here once--long before my time. The county fair itself is pretty typical--but I like it. I hope there will be more local food there in the future. The Masons run a diner during the fair that has pretty good breakfast. Watching the demolition derby is a pretty good time, too.

I've grown up going to the 4-H fair in Winchester. I honestly can't remember a year where I didn't…read moremake an appearance. It began with my older cousins showing pigs, so my siblings and I would go and watch them walk their pigs around the ring - wondering the whole time how they have control over such a creature. As we grew up, we all found our nitch in the crafts department. Personally, I always found interest in photography, consumer clothing and scrapbooking. Yes, Sarah in a 4-H nutshell. I had my run with showing pigs and rabbits. We would go to the dances on the weekends and stay up late playing cards in the pig and cow barns. Anyone reading this that knows me now might NOT see this as being a Sarah "thing." But yes, it sure was! Now, I have moved away from Winchester, but one of my siblings is still at the age where she is a full fledged 4-H member. It's a great place to go and catch up with old friends, watch a talent show, grab a chocolate milkshake and just walk around and check out the projects. The thing about a small town is that no matter what day (or even time of the day) you decide to go, you're bound to run into numerous people you know relatively well. It's a family friendly place that I'll always remember.

Orchids! Orchids galore. There are around 2,000 orchids in the Rinard Orchid Greenhouse, plus…read morehundreds or maybe even thousands of tropical plants, including some endangered species. Rinard is considered to have the largest university-based orchid collection in the United States! This place is a tropical orchid oasis in the middle of Indiana. The Rinard Orchid Greenhouse is located on the Ball State University campus, and is used and maintained by students and staff. But the public is welcome to visit and take in the beauty of the greenhouse. And for free, too! Just walk in and enjoy being surrounded by lots of plants and living things everywhere, breathing right along with you. When I visited, I was told that I could wander freely, or I could wander while doing a scavenger hunt. I chose the scavenger hunt, and was handed a cute laminated paper with clip art images of some of the edible plants they have in the greenhouse. I walked around and tried to find the black pepper vine, and the purple passion fruit, and the turmeric plant, and the vanilla orchid. I'm happy to report that I found them all! This is a fun activity to do if you're visiting with kids, because it makes you pay attention to the types of plants that are living in the greenhouse. The greenhouse is small, but they pack a lot of plants and information into the building. Apparently, they have programs during the week, as well as guided tours by request. But I suggest just doing a self-tour and wandering at your leisure. This is a great place to just zone out and look at beautiful things.

They have so many rooms with different features on the walls. Old features like you would see in a cathedral. The event was crowded but not overly crowded. You were able to get through the fest in 1 1/2 hours. There was about 20 vendors to taste. I didn't know Indiana had so many breweries. We didn't eat in the area. I looked but couldn't find anything that sounded good. We wanted something different than a burger at the ale house. I look forward to exploring more of Indiana. After 4 years there is allot to see and do here in Indiana.
