Airports - If you are traveling by plane, there are a few options you can consider:

Central Illinois Regional Airport (BMI) in Bloomington is 10 minutes away from the venue. If you plan on staying in the Bloomington-Normal area for your entire trip, this is a great option. You would be able to Uber to local hotels and the venue. Although there are direct flights to and from some cities, it will most likely require a connecting flight.

Peoria International Airport (PIA) in Peoria is about 40 minutes from the venue. Although not impossible to get an Uber to Bloomington-Normal from PIA, we would recommend renting a car if flying into PIA. Although there are direct flights to and from some cities, it will most likely require a connecting flight.

St. Louis Lambert International, Chicago O'Hare, or Chicago Midway are all a few hours away, but offer many direct flights to and from various locations. From there, you could rent a car, take a train (Chicago or St. Lous), or a bus (Chicago).

Please reach out to us if you have any questions about getting to the area and getting around once you arrive!
