Of Comedy and Nature

We are getting a lot of queries about what families can do during winter time...something that does not require a truckload of spare spending cash and long travel hours and hopefully, something within Garden City. That’s not too hard an answer to find, really and here, we have a few suggestions for you and our New Jersey charter bus rental customers.

Get that dry, British humor going

It’s holiday season so, we need to spread some hope, cheer and the good ole belly laughter all around and there is no better place to share all of that awesomeness than watching Brit-inspired comedy actwhich spins a tale around Monty Python and The Holy Grail. As we all know, both these stories are renowned all over the world, they come in musical and theatrical forms...but this is one of those comedic acts that you just can’t miss. It tells the legendary tales of King Arthur and Knights of the Round Table. Loads of songs, dancing, hilarious lines and they throw in some funny sexy, dancing divas just to spice up the act.

A True NJ Gem - Barnegat Lighthouse and Park

Like how the Statue of Liberty is instantly considered an iconic landmark for not just New York City but the country, Barnegat Lighthouse, one of the tallest lighthouses in the country is also another natural iconic landmark for New Jersey. To find the lighthouse, bring the New Jersey charter bus, shuttle bus, coach charter, minibus, schoolbus or party bus to Broadway and The Bay on Long Beach Island. The lighthouse is located in New Jersey’s longest offshore island. You can get to the island by car or charter bus depite it being approximately four miles out at sea. This should an interesting and educational tour for foreign visitors, really, because there is a very informative guide located at the lighthouse’s center which is open all the time.

Don’t worry about finding a parking spot if you are driving yourself to this amazing New Jersey landmark because there is plenty of free parking near the attraction. It is very convenient to just park and walk over to the lighthouse’s guest center. At the tourist center, learn about the lighthouse’s deep history and roots while also taking in the fact that there is a huge state park right next to it, the environment surrounding the lighthouse and also the wildlife preservation efforts made by the government.

Have a look around the park and you will realize just how popular the lighthouse is with not just tourists and visitors from out of town but birds. Birds of all kinds tend to love the lighthouse too. Have a stroll around the park during winter and if you are lucky, you will catch sight of a Harbor Seal. We love the jetty so much that we spent much of our time (after visiting the lighthouse) loitering around the jetty that juts out into the sea. Standing on the jetty with our friends, we simply took the time to take awesome pictures together while enjoying what nature had to offer.

Suffice to say, for sixty years, darkness loomed over Barnegat Lighthouse in which time, it served more as a museum and tourist attraction than a lighthouse. But it was in 2009 that the main function of the lighthouse came back....which is to serve as a lighthouse. Since then, it is a beacon for ships which lights shines out to more than twenty miles offshore.

If you are up to it, pay a small fee to climb to the top of the lighthouse for a breathtaking scenery. There is a story to every place and it is from the top of the lighthouse that all that you have learned about Jersey Shore seems to gel together so naturally.

Fun Festivals to Catch this Fall in NJ

Don’t miss them, folks. Don’t. It is fall now and we should make the most out of the rest of fall that we have right now. If you are still hunting around for the best bus companies New Jersey event, we have just the right news for you and they are time-relevant too.

Sugarloaf Crafts Festival
The first one we would like to feature would be the fun Sugarloaf Crafts Festival which is taking place on Oct 25 -27, 2013. At the point of publishing this article, you still have a couple of days to visit this one-of-a-kind event whereby you will get to browse and buy handcrafted work from more than two hundred and seventy five artists and craftsmen. Head over to Garden State Exhibit Center to find bargain pottery, fashion items, accessories, stuff made from wood, leather and metal and of course, we leave out photography and fine art. If you head over to the event early when the artists are still there, you might even get to share their trade secrets too! The President of Sugarloaf event maintains that they have considered the quality and uniqueness of each of the items before including them for the event. This is the place where a twenty dollar pair of earrings will bear a very special meaning with you.

Trucktoberfest
Although this event is already over and done with, we wish to mention it all the same. Sometimes, because of our extremely busy schedule, we might miss out the chance to be a part of Oktoberfest, which is touted to be one of the most popular international festivals. So, what does one do when they miss out to be a part of something this huge? Head over for the next best thing which is Trucktoberfest! This year, The Food Trucks took it upon themselves to set up the festival at Monmouth Park on September 28, 2013 to celebrate October....food truck style!

We absolutely enjoyed the German beer garden where visitors got to sample some of the most amazing creations....in the form of drinks to complement all that mouth-watering truck foods. You name it, they had it - be it Italian sausages or bacon on wheels, French fine dine right down to cheesy delights.

Monmouth’s Breeders Club Happy Hour
Pull out your calendars and start penciling in November 2, 2013 for Breeders’ Cup Classic Happy Hour event happening between 6pm to 9pm whereby like-minded people gather together for their favorite drinks.

Event organizers, we would love to hear from you if you are currently organizing an event in NJ. Bus Companies New Jersey would love to be a part of all that excitement in the near future.

Morris Museum

If you are visiting Morristown soon and are wondering what to do there with your family, you can always charter a New Jersey bus and have the bus driver send you and your family to the Morris Museum at 6 Normandy Heights Road, Morristown and spend a day touring the museum. At Morris Museum, they have many different kinds of exhibits, some which are permanent ones while some are for a certain period of time only. Hence, even if you visit this museum this time with your family, the next time you go again in a New Jersey charter bus, chances are that you will see some “new” exhibits at the museum that you probably didn’t get to see this round.

For kids, the Morris Museum is surely a favorite place to visit during holidays because they offer many hands on and interactive displays and exhibits for the children. Being able to touch, feel and “play” with the exhibits in the museum is definitely a big hit with kids because kids just love to play and it is always a great way for them to learn too, as they play and discover the many wonderful things in the museum. We would not be too wrong if we say that the Morris Museum provides the family a place to play and learn together. There is just so much to see and so much to do in here. Model trains, historical mansion, costume exhibition, a Guinness collection of Automata (which is a collection of automatic devices and objects that make music – something like a giant music box) – these are just some of the things you can expect to see when you arrive at the Morris Museum in the New Jersey bus. In some parts of the museum, they also have exhibits on taxidermied animals, fossils, geology and the gift shop is also a great place for you to stop by to buy some souvenirs home.

They are, however, closed on Mondays, and the major holidays. Otherwise, they are open from Tuesdays right through till Sundays, from 11am to 5pm (Tuesday to Saturday) and from 12 noon to 5pm on Sunday. Also, on the second and third Thursday of every month, the admission is “Pay as You Wish” from 5pm to 8pm. You can always take advantage of the “Pay as You Wish” offer by the museum and plan your trip to the Morris Museum in the New Jersey rented bus on the second or third Thursday of the month.

Best New Jersey cities

There are really endless number of places to visit when one is in New Jersey but often times, we know nothing much about the smaller cities. In this article, we would like to highlight a couple of New Jersey’s top neighborhoods and cities which we think one should visit with or without a shuttle bus, coach charter, mini bus or party bus. The ones we would like to highlight would be Atlantic City, Jersey City and of course, Newark.

Atlantic City is naturally known as the East Coast’s version of Las Vegas. Gaming enthusiasts will easily and quickly fall in love with the sheer number of options as far as casino is concerned. Many charter bus New Jersey tourists come here specifically for the casinos and entertainment and even if you are not a fan of gaming, it is fun to just walk and stroll around enjoying the fun and exciting atmosphere. Sometimes, you feel like you are ready to be a part of all the excitement without having to play the games with others. And besides, there is plenty of activities like watersports, museums, golfing, beaches and kid-friendly activities. One of the most popular activities in Atlantic City is the Wild West themed amusement parks.

Jersey City is the second most popular tourist hotspot for New Jersey and the second most populous as well. There are benefits to being located slightly across from the lower Manhattan downtown area - tourists and easy to locate restaurants, cafes and entertainment and it has something to do with the growing population. Tourists and vacationers often find themselves falling deeply in love with new waterfront areas like Newport and Exchange Place which is located very near residential area (for a very good reason) but is growing in popularity for foreign tourists. Take a charter bus rental ride through to popular districts like The Heights or what most locals prefer to call the Jersey City Heights.

Newark, although suffering from a rather negative image in the past (known as New York’s ‘tough’ neighborhood), has come to become a popular New Jersey tourist attractions because there is an ever growing effort to turn it around. There is a major International Airport in Newark and new art galleries, entertainment outlets, parks and historically significant buildings being restored and promoted to tourists. If you have kids with you during your New Jersey charter bus rental trip here, bringing them to the mini zoo, planetarium, parks and live performances.

And in the meantime, if you are looking for a reliable, professional and affordable charter bus rental package, please do give Bus Companies NJ a call right now and let our customer service representatives hook you up with the best ride for your trip here in New Jersey. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
