Cleveland, Ohio, has been taking intensive steps to move away from its beginnings as an industrial city, and has been undergoing a transformation in recent years. A great way of seeing Cleveland is with a a bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus chartered from Bus Charter Cleveland. The once polluted Cuyahoga River, for example, has been cleaned up and now sports a thriving nightclub district along the Flats and the city's spirit has also been rejuvenated with the return of the beloved Browns to Memorial Stadium, and sports fans cheering on the Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena and the Indians at Progressive Field.
Charter bus visitors to Cleveland will quickly notice that he central feature of Cleveland is Public Square, which in 1879 became the first public square in the United States to be lit by electricity. Around it are the Tower City Center, a shopping center converted from an old railroad station, with the 52-storey Terminal Tower, featuring a viewing platform on 42nd floor, and the 46-storey BP America Building. North-east of Public Square is the Mall, the largest square in the city center, which is decorated with fountains and sculpture and dominated by the Society Center, Cleveland's tallest building at 890 feet. The Public Square in Cleveland is right in the heart of the city at the intersection of Superior and Ontario streets, and easily accessible by charter bus.
Charter bus visitors might be interested in touring the USS Cod Submarine Memorial, a World War II fleet sub docked on Lake Erie in downtown Cleveland. Listed as as National Historic Landmark, the USS COD is a World War II submarine with an interesting history of battles and rescues. The submarine was responsible for the first submarine-to-submarine rescue, which occurred in 1945. She was commissioned on June 21, 1943 and was on patrol during the war, then decommissioned in 1954. The USS Cod has not been modified from her original wartime configuration, and entrance is through the original hatchways and ladders in the submarine.
Charter bus visitors who love animals should head to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, a short charter bus ride away on Cleveland's west side near the neighborhood of Old Brooklyn. Here you can explore the Zoo's RainForest, home to a 25 foot waterfall as well as plants and animals from the jungles of Africa, Asia and the Americas.

With the kids in Cleveland
Cleveland, Ohio, and its surrounding areas offers tons of fun for everyone in the family, and a good way of getting there and getting around is with a charter bus, party bus, rental bus, coach charter, minibus or van chartered from Bus Charter Cleveland. Winter or summer, there is something to suit every age and family member in Cleveland. Whether you're taking a long charter bus vacation, planning a weekend getaway for your group using a charter bus, or simply need to escape for a couple hours, taking a charter bus and visiting Cleveland is always worth the trip.
When you think of amusement parks in Cleveland, chances are the first thing that comes to your mind is Cedar Point. Located in Sandusky, Cedar Point is the premier theme park in Northern Ohio, and is home to the state's largest roller coaster. Cedar Point is a 2 hour drive from Cleveland, so it would be logical to use a charter bus to get there. But not many think of Geauga Lake, just 30 minutes from downtown Cleveland. Known as Geauga Lake for decades, it was purchased by Six Flags Worlds of Adventure a few years ago, but soon after was returned to local ownership and the much-loved name was returned to the park. Some of the world's fastest, most extreme roller coasters roar along the lake, which the new-again ownership is fast developing into an even larger waterpark.
It is always important to know where we come from, and a charter bus visit to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. One of America’s oldest museums, the centerpiece of its collection is Lucy, the world’s oldest and almost completely intact Australopithecus afarensis skeleton. Discovered by Dr Louis B. Leakey in Africa, Lucy is thought to be between 2.4 to 2.8 million years old. Visitors can also take in a show at the museum’s planetarium, or walk around the University Circle, where they will find a number of Cleveland’s greatest eateries, as well as a variety of other museums.
In the summer months, take your kids in a charter bus down to Lake Erie for a splash and a swim. There are several city beaches that are easily reached with a charter bus, for example, Downtown, Edgewater Park has a 600 plus foot swim beach, along with 3 miles of hiking trails. For some great swimming, try Mentor Highlands to the east of Cleveland, with natural sand beaches the kids are sure to love.
