I love sitting outdoors while enjoying a meal, but living in Indiana sometimes makes that very difficult. Several Indianapolis-area establishments have a perfect solution—Igloos!
What You Need to Know about Eating in an Igloos
Igloos are the perfect way to enjoy a clear winter night while eating some of Indy’s best food and drink. Igloos are heated, but you should still dress warmly as they are still a little chilly. Children love igloos too, but remember the space can be a little cramped for kids that have trouble sitting still.
It’s important to reserve your igloo in advance because the most popular ones fill up quickly. Most are decorated for the perfect insta-worthy backdrop.
