Family fun in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania

Have you wondered what is there to do in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania? Traveling in a group is more fun and if you have children, taking a charter bus is easier than driving from one place to another. Here is a travel tip for those who have children and want to find some places to visit that both adults and children will enjoy!

"The first place you should head to is the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh where there is a world of activities for children. At the Makeshop, both children and parents can get their hands on materials, tools and media to build, sew and basically tinker around with whatever they can lay their hands on. Kids can also choose to paint or even build a sculpture. If they feel like getting creatively down and dirty, they can head over to the huge sand box with shovels, buckets and trucks in hand."

Liberty Mountain Resort and Conference Center

With Autumn months coming in at full swing, we think this is the perfect time to start planning your winter and the perfect winter getaway would be skiing and having fun up in the mountains, away from the busy city life that we usually live. Heading over to the mountains will also help us connect with nature and live, just for the duration of the holiday, more spiritually and more meaningfully. Of course, if you are having this bus rental PA vacation with your family and friends, this could only mean one thing....bonding time.

One of the best places to have a winter getaway would be the highly recommended Liberty Mountain Resort and Conference Center. With its huge conference facilities, some businesses and large organizations will put together an event to bring their employees, staffs and other personnel over to training sessions, talks, seminars, adventure boot camps, etc.

For beginners who have never touched a ski or a snowboard, worry not, there are beginner lessons and packages to help you along and some of these short, quick but useful crash courses go for less than $50 per person and it works as a day pass as well and a good discount for the lift tickets. It is a well-known fact that Liberty Mountain has its eyes on training people for and promoting skiing and snowboarding as a practical activity and sport during bus rental PA holidays. It is ranked as one of the top leading snowboarding and skiing resorts in the country.

Based on their tried and tested methods which have been ongoing for as long as the resort’s been around, many people have gained an educational experience and a lifetime of fun skirting their way through snowy mountains when the winter months approach.

We have some practical advice to give to our first time bus rental Pennsylvania customers as far as dressing suitably for the winter getaway. The first tip would be to dress in layers. This is so that you can adjust your body temperature according to the weather and temperature by putting on or pulling off the layers of clothing. The second tip would be to wear a collared, turtleneck or fleece clothing as a base. Wearing a turtleneck will remove the need to wear a scarf. And when it comes to snow, we know it is going to be a rather wet affair so, if the option is there, wear water and wind resistant clothing on the outside. Otherwise, just make sure you have enough clothing to last you the few days that you are going to be there for the Pennsylvania vacation.

Expect The Best From Monk’s Cafe

In almost all of the reviews that you can find on the internet and in every magazine or newspaper article that have ever reviewed and provided feedback about Monk’s Cafe in Philadelphia, it has never failed to mentioned the sheer number of beers and beverage selection that is available. Most of our bus charter PA customers who have had the privilege of visiting Monk’s Cafe along 16th and Spruce Street believes that THAT, the selection of beer, is their selling point.

Even the owners and managers of the pub and cafe have said, over and over again, that they have always prided itself of being one of the few establishments in and around Philadelphia with such an amazing array of drinks. And it is interesting....as we go through the list of available beverages, we were enticed with where the beer was brewed and how it was sourced. To enjoy the unique beer, not your conventional on the tap beer (these are, of course, available too), is to get to know where they are from.

The largest selection of beer in Monk’s Cafe would be some of the finest Belgian brews. Religious folks have come to accept the names that they have selected for themselves and gleefully go through their Beer Bible as a trusted guide in finding the right beer brew for themselves. But we suggest going to this Philadelphia charter bus rental tourist attraction together with your family and friends so that you can sample as many of the beer brews as you possibly can in one shot. An interesting fact is that Monk’s Cafe have just the right drink for Bordeaux drinkers too.

Monk’s Cafe is not merely known for their beers, the hard-working, creative chefs behind the kitchen doors have also earned a name for themselves. Urbanspoon named it as one of Philly’s best restaurants while it was also given the title of Ambassadeur Orval of 2013. Draft Magazine called it as one of the best bars in America while Philly Beer Scene Magazine said that it had the best bar food.

The bar and restaurant could have been bigger, especially since it has gained much international fame in some tourism and travel websites, but what it lacks for in terms of space, they make up for it with a wide range of drinks and great food for a bar. There are two bar spaces in Monk’s Cafe, one main area and another smaller section at the back of the premise...take a pick from those two areas to have some old time fun with your family and friends during your Philadelphia bus charter rental trip...or better yet, make some new friends instead.

Bounty County Tasting Tours

Regardless of whether one is a beer lover or an advent wine tasting expert, there is something to learn about each and every single one of the beverages introduced during a tasting tour like the Bounty County Tasting Tours. Suffice to say, combined with perfect weather conditions and pleasant company of family and friends, the tours serves as an opportunity for all of us to join hands, have a relaxing and carefree day while touring some of the best wineries and brew pubs there is in this part of the book in Pennsylvania’s New Hope. The tours is not confined to merely touring the neighborhood of Bounty County because the PA rental charter bus will take guests around to surrounding areas which are just as relaxing and scenic.

There is no rush, no stress and absolutely nothing to worry about as far as ground transportation and choice of brewery is concerned. The most important thing to remember to bring would be a relaxed mind and the willingness to experience some of the best brews on offer. The reason why joining these types of tours makes sense is because the tour and bus rental operators have all worked tirelessly to partner up with these distillers, brewers and wineries and this translates into cheaper pricing and better exposures - a win-win situation for all, including the PA bus rental guests and visitors who gets to see and experience more for less.

These tasting tours are perfect for all sorts of events, celebrations and gatherings but we would have to say that they make the perfect choice for bachelor and bachelorette parties. It is time to let your hair down and have the time of your life! In fact, because everything, right down to the smallest details, are already worked out for the bus rental bachelorette party, all you need to do is to turn up and enjoy the ride.

The main reason people entrust their parties and tours into the hands of these folks is because they comprise mainly of wine lovers who have learn a trick or two along the way. They know their wines and of course, they know their way around the wineries too although their passion for the drink and experience have brought them to wineries all over the world.

Of course, we know some of our bus rental PA guests and customers would prefer to have it their way - which means renting out their own charter bus, shuttle bus, mini bus and vans too because there is more freedom in case they prefer to stay on longer at a brewery or winery that they like. And in that instance, we think that Bus Rental PA can be your ground transportation company of choice.

While Reading Terminal Market is a great place to hang out, the only downside about this place is that it closes early, so if you don’t want to miss out trying out the delicious food, great ambience and friendly people there, it is best that you make it a point to get there early. It’s been said that if you intend to eat at any one of the restaurants here, it is best to be there at least 2 hours before closing time.
