Uptown Normal

Uptown experienced a significant transformation during the past several years, and while the refreshing signs of ongoing change are still present, the effects of the extensive revitalization efforts are now evident throughout the district. Streets and sidewalks, completely rebuilt in 2009, are bustling with activity. Stores and restaurants, both old and new, are full of people. Plus, the brand new, full service Bloomington-Normal Marriott Hotel and Conference Center and the Hyatt Hotel can accommodate events of all sizes or a weekend getaway!

Uptown Normal is a unique destination. It is easy to spend an entire day discovering the district, including the one-of-a-kind locally owned businesses, the three-story Children's Discovery Museum and the variety of restaurants.
