For married couples with young children, date nights are very precious. It’s not to say that they don’t like having their kids around them, but it helps (and it’s healthy too!) to have date nights with your spouse to keep the bond between husband and wife strong and the romance going. If you enjoy good food and watching great shows, make your next date night extra special by chartering a Cincinnati bus and bring your lovely spouse for a wonderful dinner at one of the restaurants nearby the Ensemble Theater before you bring her for an awesome performance at the theater.
The Ensemble Theater is a wonderful escapade for married couples who are out for a night’s of great entertainment after an evening of marvelous dining experience. The theater is smaller in size compared to some of the bigger theaters that you may have been to before, but the ambience inside is warm, friendly and intimate – just the right kind of place for date nights. Whichever restaurant that you choose to go for dinner before the appointed showtime at the theater, it is never a trouble at all for your Cincinnati chartered bus driver. From the usual American cuisine to pizzas, Italian and Mediterranean dishes – these are just some of the restaurants that you’d find nearby the theater. After you have had your dinner at any one of the restaurants, you will find your bus driver waiting for you to pick you and send you to the theater – what an awesome night it’s going to be, especially when you don’t have to drive and find a parking spot!
Many Cincinnati rented bus visitors enjoy going to the Ensemble Theater because you can never find a bad seat in the house. Even if you have to sit at the last row in the theater, you can still see the stage clearly because there is a steep slope to the seating, and that means, if you happen to have a very tall person sitting in front of you, your view will not be blocked at all. This is not the only plus point about the theater – they have really good selection of plays too because they are quite selective in their choices of play that they would showcase in their theater. You can expect to be entertained with excellent quality of acting and even the props and stage deco are remarkable! Don’t just take our word on this – check it out yourself in your next date night with your beloved spouse.

It's All About Signs At The American Signs Museum
Signs are an important part of our lives, without them, our world could be in chaos. For example, if we need to get from point A to point B, we need signs to give us directions, right? Hence, it is not an overstatement when we say that signs play a very important role in human lives. And if you make a trip to the American Sign Museum in our charter bus in Cincinnati, you will be amazed at the volume of signs that has been collected over the years by the founder himself, Tod Swormstedt.
The American Sign Museum is a favorite spot to visit for many Cincinnati bus charter passengers. Many of them have heard or read so much about this place that it is one of their top priority in their list of “to visit places” when they are on this part of the world! The whole museum literally “lights up” with the many different kinds of signs that you can find – spanning from 1870 right through 1970. From hand carved wooden signs to neon lighted signs, electric bulbs everywhere – this museum is not to be missed at all.
As soon as you get down from our charter bus, you will see that the American Sign Museum is colorful, vibrant and just “crying out for attention” (that’s what signs do, don’t they?) and somehow you will feel a certain drawing to want to walk into the museum and check out what’s inside. That’s the power of signs, some may say.
For some, learning about the history of a certain place would mean going to the museum, which is not wrong, but at the American Sign Museum, history comes to live in a totally different way – in signs and colors, we dare say! Take a walk through the museum, and you will understand what we mean by that – every piece of sign that you see has a story behind it.
Most of the time, Cincinnati bus charter passengers would get a personal tour by the founder himself as he enjoys telling and sharing stories of the history of his passion for signs and his collection. As you hear him talk about the signs, you’d almost feel as though you are re-living the past and you may not have even heard or read about in history books from some of the things that you hear from him too!
As you leave the museum and hop back onto our waiting charter bus, you will probably miss this place already – especially after all the fun and excitement of seeing so many attractive and unique signs, but you don’t have to leave missing this place so much, as you can always start planning for another trip here again.

Birthday Bash with Fun Learning at a Museum
Planning a birthday party for your little one? How about making it extra special by chartering a bus to a museum where they not only learn but get to have fun too? Think fun and museum and Duke Energy Children’s Museum is the perfect place to bring a group of young children for some wonderful time of learning and having fun.
At Duke Energy Children’s Museum, kids get to pretend to be adults, to run through a man-made woods, to use their analytical skills and the fun goes on. It is consistently ranked in the top ten children’s museums to visit in the U.S. The exhibits at Duke Energy Children’s Museum encourage kids to climb, crawl, play, explore and learn about themselves and the world around them. Basically, this museum is divided into four categories - the Energy Zone, Kids’ Town, Little Sprouts Farm and The Woods. Each category has different kinds of activity for different age group. One of the easiest way to get all the kids to arrive at Duke Energy Children’s Museum together and safe would be to charter a Cincinnati bus.
At Kids’ Town, it is a kid-sized neighborhood where children take charge and explore the Kroger grocery store, veterinary clinic, diner, post office and others to pretend to be adults and do what adults do in real life. The next category, Energy Zone, is a netted enclosure and you would feel as though you have just walked into a part of a complex machine. Each station in this zone gives the kids opportunities to analyze which path a ball must take in order to reach its destination, which machine or energy force to use so that this can be accomplished. The fun part is that when you hear the sound of bells - you will have to watch out for balls that will come raining down!
And if raining balls were not enough, The Woods is a place where the children get to climb logs, walk on rope bridges and discover fossils and the animals that live in the woods. There is also a game of treasure hunt where the first clue is across from the slide. Even adults are welcome to join in this adventure with the children.
The Infant Garden and Toddler Farmyard are more for the younger children - 4 years and below together with their parents or caregivers. Over at this side of the museum, toddlers and preschoolers get to play in a more protected area and the setting is just as appealing as the other categories.
After a whole day of fun at Duke Energy Children’s Museum, you’ll be thankful that you have a chartered bus waiting to bring everyone home.

Dining delights in Cincinnati
Cincinnati is rapidly becoming a vibrant, exciting city to live and work in, and this vibe is reflected in the wide dining choices available. A good way of getting around Cincinnati on a dining tour is with a bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus chartered from Bus Charters Cincinnati. Travel through the city in comfort and style as your friendly and reliable charter bus driver takes you and your group on a tour of Cincinnati’s best dining places.
For some of the best steaks in Cincinnati, head over in your charter bus to the Precinct. Housed ia fortress of a building that used to be a police station, the Precinct is known for its steaks and seafood. Charter bus diners should try their grass fed rib eye steak, perfectly marbled without being overly fatty, or sample their bluepoint oyster, with its rich, velvety, meaty texture. Salad portions are huge, and practically constitute a meal in themselves. Other must tries include the Barrel-Cut Filet Mignon with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Freddie Salad, and Steak Collinsworth.
Maury’s Tiny Cove has been a Cincinnati West Side dining scene fixture since 1949. Decked out in the style of a 40s supper club, Maury’s exudes a vibe that makes charter bus visitors feel like life long regulars after one visit. The red vinyl booths are properly period, just right for enjoying those staples at Maury’s, a steak and a cocktail. Boasting an extensive menu of American favorites, most charter bus diners stick to Maury’s specialties, tender, juicy steaks, seafood and chicken cooked just right.
Charter bus visitors have always been impressed with the Rookwood Bar and Grill. Inhabiting a former pottery, this restaurant has been making waves in the local dining scene. The creative staff at Rookwood have come up with some very unique dishes, including Hanky Pankys on the appetizer list, French fries with Grippos seasoning and a crazy good Pork Belly Sandwich. For an odd twist to dessert, try the Beer Float, made with Jeni’s Ice Creams of Columbus. Dining options include the more formal main dining room, and step into the loft or one of the old kilns for a slightly more casual dining experience.
Cincinnati is rapidly becoming a cosmopolitan city, and this is reflected in the large range of ethnic restaurants in the city. For a taste of something different, charter bus visitors should try Emanu, which features eastern African cuisine. Focusing on dishes from Ethiopia and its neighbour Eritrea, dishes are served on communal plates, perfect for a large charter bus group to share a memorable meal. The menu focuses mainly on lamb and vegetables, with choices including Tsebhi Beghie, lamb simmered in red pepper sauce with onions and flavored with spices, Kilwa Sega, strips of marinated beef sautéed with onions, green pepper, and various chicken dishes.
