Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum

To be able to fly freely in the sky like Superman is probably every child’s (maybe even adults too) dream. And this would be a dream that will remain as a dream because in reality, no one can actually fly without the help of wings - which is just why you should take your kids out for a trip to the Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum in a Denver rental bus during the school holidays. Sure, they won’t get to fly like Superman, but they will get to experience what flying is all about.

Located on 7711 East Academy Blvd., Denver, Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum is just the right place to bring your kids in a rented bus to learn about planes of all kinds and see with their own eyes some of the rare collection of aircrafts and space vehicles. With an area of 150,000 sq. ft., surely you can expect to be seeing a lot of wonderful displays and exhibits that you don’t get to see elsewhere. Some of the main attractions to this air and space museum are the rare B-18A Bolo, the Century-Series fighters, RF-84K Thunderflash Parasite, an Alexander Eaglerock built in Colorado and a Star Wars X-Wing fighter. Just by reading the names of these exhibits would make one feel really excited about going to the museum already, especially kids! These displays are not the only exciting thing that you will get to see at the museum because when you go at the time of their air shows and fly-in, your kids will be even more thrilled.

At the Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum, the kids are not the only ones who will get to have fun with their hands on activities as they have activities for the adults too. Activities like the learning to build a Goddard Rocket, setting up a balsa plane and learning about the components of flight and “flying” in one of their travelling simulators are just some of the fun things that you and your kids who have come all the way in the Denver rented bus will get to do. In fact, summer is considered to be a very busy time at the Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum as they expect visitors coming in big groups – and especially so for this summer as they have recently just added 6 new interactive exhibits. So, don’t wait any longer – quickly pick up the phone now and make a reservation to rent a Denver bus and bring your kids there today!

Balistreri Vineyards, Wine Away

Drinking wine used to be for the very classy, very rich and very sophisticated. Not anymore. In these present times, wine drinking is considered to be an almost every day pleasure - though it still takes a special event or occasion to open up a really good bottle of wine to celebrate. Whatever the reason that you come up with, there is always a good reason to visit a winery - be it with your loved one or your group of drinking friends. Having said that, this weekend will be just about the right time to rent a bus and make your way to a family owned and operated winery in Denver with a couple of your drinking friends - especially those who would really enjoy a good glass of wine.

Balistreri Vineyards may not be too well known, but this family owned and family operated winery has produced award winning wines that are made combining traditional winemaking methods and modern technology. Hidden on the outskirts of Denver, it would take an experienced Denver bus rental driver to be able to seek out this wonderful family winery.

At Balistreri Vineyards, they offer complimentary wine tastings daily, and with tastings of most of their award winning wines that comes up to about over twenty different varieties, you will appreciate the fact that the servings are small. If you are interested, they even provide a tour of their wine cellar and winemaking facilities where you can perhaps pick up a tip or two about the wine making process. A good wine tasting session is usually accompanied by light finger foods or cheese and such, and when you are at Balistreri Vineyards, you can be rest assured they always have cheese and crackers ever ready to go with their wine tasting sessions.

After having tasted so many different types of wines, you can pick your favourite one and order them by the glass or by the bottle and enjoy it right there and order lunch too. Over lunch and some more wine drinking, you will be entertained by the many stories of the history of the winery and then you can also check out their membership club for wine lovers and their all year long activities for their members. Members are entitled to discounts and invitations to special events organised by the winery.

After a day or evening of sampling and drinking so much wine, it is good to know that you have your trusted rented bus driver waiting for you to send you and your drinking friends home. We all know that drinking and driving is a big no-no. So, drink as much as you want at the winery, but choose to be safe - rent a bus!

Interesting Things To Do In Denver

One of the best ways to see Denver is with a hire bus from Bus Charter Denver. Denver is proud of its location in the Rocky Mountains, wearing its nickname “Mile High Denver” with pride. Starting as a small mining supply town, Denver grew with the discovery of gold and silver deposits. When the mineral deposits ran out, Denver entered a fallow period. During the 80s, the realization that Denver lay almost exactly halfway between Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco turned it into an important distribution and warehousing center for many retail operations. Today, Denver is a vibrant city, placing an importance on sports and outdoor activities such as skiing and climbing.
Within Denver, there are several places that you should visit. Bus Charter Denver has charter vehicles to meet your groups’ transport needs, making it easy to move around Denver. One of your first stops should be the Colorado State Capitol. Stand on the marker on the west steps, and you will be exactly one mile (5,280 feet) above sea level. After that, climb the rotunda for an unparalleled view of the surrounding Rocky Mountains.
Next, head down to the U.S. Mint, where the shiny, jangling change in your pocket comes from. Producing over 50 million coins a day, each coin is stamped with a little ‘D’, denoting that it came from Denver. Tours are free, and show visitors every step in the process of turning a blank metal slug into a shiny quarter. The Mint is a popular tourist destination, so reservations are recommended.
If you like people watching, stop by the 16th Street Pedestrian Mall. Designed by famous architect I.M. Pei, the mall contains 28 cafes, and is designed to resemble the pattern of a diamondback rattlesnake. When night falls, horse drawn carriages are available for rides up and down the mall.

Spend your winter skiing in Aspen

Winter has come upon us and the best thing about that is the snow. And the best thing to do when it’s snowing is to make snowmen, get into snowball fights and of course, go skiing! One of the most famous skiing resorts in the world is undoubtedly Aspen and always ready for your bus charter visitors! At 3 hours 45 minutes from Denver, one of the best ways to get to Aspen is via a rented party bus or mini bus with Bus Rental Denver.

Located in Pitkin County, Colorado, just outside and above the city of Aspen on the north flank of Aspen Mountain, the ski resort takes its name after the abundant Aspen tress in the vicinity. Bring the rented bus charter over to find out more about how it was founded in 1946 as the first ski area venture of the Aspen Skiing Company founded by Walter Paepcke, it is today one of four adjacent ski areas operated by the company as part of the Aspen/ Snowmass complex.

The ski area is located within the White River National Forest and is operated under permit from the U.S. Forest Service and it has three restaurants on the mountain, two are on top of the mountain with one of them being a member’s only club and the other one is located mid-mountain.

When the Aspen Ski Resort began operations on December 14, 1946, it was the longest chairlift in the world and many of the first employees were veterans of the famed 10th Mountain Division, who trained at Camp Hale. One of the these veterans was Freidl Pfeifer of Austria and Pete Seibert. Pfeifer had headed the ski school at Sun Valley before the war and Seibert was a member of the Aspen ski patrol that would later found Vail Mountain.

The area's lifts include 1 high-speed quad, 1 high-speed double, 2 quads, and 3 doubles. When you are there for your shuttle bus rental holiday with kids, friends and family, get a hang on taking the gondola which is one of two lifts, along with the Little Nell chairlift, which ascends from Gondola Plaza in the heart of the downtown Aspen in a configuration that allows visitors to ascend the mountain from the center of town, and ski down the Little Nell Run back into town.

Up until January 2001 Aspen lifted its long-time ban on snowboarding but as a courtesy to season-pass holders, the resort was not officially opened to snowboarders until April 1, 2001. Since then, snowboarders and skiers alike have carved up the mountain’s various runs, the longest being 3 miles (4.8 km) with a lift capacity of 10,755 riders per hour. The mountain is considered moderate-to-difficult with no "green" (beginner) runs and novice skiers must go to Snowmass, Buttermilk, or Aspen Highlands. Whether you are here with friends or alone, the ride to and from this massive holiday resort will leave you breathless even after you have gotten back safely in the warmth of the rented charter bus.

The season on the mountain ranges from late November to early April and the ski area enjoys a unique "homespun" culture that dates from its early foundation as part of the Utopian social experiment in Aspen created by Walter Paepcke in the 1940s. So throw back your inhibitions this winter, wax those skis, dust off your cold weather gear and book your ticket to a holiday of carving on virgin snow in the wilderness of Denver with Bus Rental Denver.
