About 30 miles south of Bloomington, outside of Bedford, is the Bluespring Caverns.
The story goes that in the 1940's a local farmer went out to his pond to check his livestock and found that his pond had disappeared. The additional pressure from hard rain was enough for the limestone at the bottom to give way and the pond rushed into the depths of the dark earth.
Over the decades, the cave was explored and the underground river was opened to tourism. It may be closed during times of high rain, but otherwise the tour is a casual drift along a subterranean river. There are some interesting rock formations, stalagmites, and if you are lucky there are blind/albino minnows and crawfish.
1-hour tours are $14 for adults & $7 for children
9am to 5pm
Memorial Day through Oct 31: 7 days a week
April & May : Saturdays and Sundays only

After my obligatory two years at McNutt dorm, four of us moved into this house on Grant and 17th Street, close to the football stadium.
We had all kinds of visitors when we lived here-crickets, at least one mouse which my roommate Ann bravely chased around the kitchen with a broom, and slugs that came up from our drain in the shower. I think they all went somewhere else in the winter, I'm fairly certain we never turned the heat on!!!

Now used as offices for university staff, when my husband was an undergrad, they had a temporary housing shortage and he was one of the lucky few that moved into this "castle". He spent all four years as an undergrad housed here.

If your really want to play miniature golf you can visit Putter's Park. This is very close to my home. It is a commercial putting park. I've never tried it, though!
