Visit Binghamton, New York on a Charter Bus

Come to the Valley of Opportunity in Comfort and Styles

Though Binghamton's designation as the "Valley of Opportunity" stems from the economic prosperity it offered Europeans emigrating there in the 1920s, the description is just as appropriate today. Located at the confluence of the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers, its proximity to the Finger Lakes and the Adirondacks makes it an immensely popular destination. There's plenty to do in Binghamton, too, including great museums, outstanding food and beverage options, a great night life and some choice shopping.

The vibe in Binghamton is laid back, though. When you come here, you come to relax and have fun. There's an easy way to do that—in the luxury and convenience of a charter bus from US Coachways.

Make the Smart Choice—Take a Charter Bus to Binghamton

Planning a group outing is hard work, with myriad details that need to be resolved. Make your choice of transportation easy by booking a charter bus from US Coachways. The many benefits of a charter bus include:

• Safety and security — Charter buses have one of the lowest accident rates of any mode of travel. It's no surprise, as your drivers are highly trained professionals. In addition, the limited access to your bus makes it easy to monitor who comes and goes—you and your personal items will be safe and secure.
• Reliability — On an average day, about 40% of all air travelers arrive late somewhere. That doesn't happen with a charter bus. Your driver has the tools to anticipate slowdowns and find alternate routes to get you there on time. In addition, our access to a national network of charter bus vendors makes it easy for us to find a replacement coach.
• Flexibility — With a charter bus, every trip is unique, based on when you want to leave, where you want to stop, how long you want to stay and when you want to return.
• Comfort — You'll enjoy the wide seats and more leg room than on any other mode of travel. There's no middle seat, either. The aisles are spacious and you can move about at your convenience.
• Hassle-free travel — You won't have to navigate through traffic, look for parking, check the GPS or keep your eyes on the clock. Your driver will handle all those details. You'll ride on the same coach throughout your trip and your luggage will be with you—no missed connections or lost bags. There's no TSA security checkpoint, so you won't have to queue up, take off your shoes, empty your pockets or show anyone your toiletries. There's no such thing as "bus mode" for your devices, either. Stay connected at all times.
• Cost-effectiveness — On a charter bus, you'll share many of the costs of travel. That means you'll get more travel for your money.
• Access to the HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lanes — A charter bus helps you minimize the risk of getting stuck in traffic
• The multiple uses of the bus — It's an ideal place for a group meeting, as you'll have a captive audience. Get employees ready for a conference, pump up players before a big game or warm up the church choir before a performance. You can also use the bus for a quiet refuge during a busy trip to Binghamton.
• You'll go green — A charter bus takes a number of private vehicles off the roads, lowering emissions

Your Group Will Have Big Fun in Binghamton

There's something for everyone here:

• Museums — For a city of just over 250,000, Binghamton has an impressive collection of interesting museums. Patrons of the visual arts will want to visit the Bundy Museum of History and Art, or the Binghamton University Art Museum, with paintings, sculpture, ceramics and other works from Egypt, Asia, Africa and North America. The Roberson Museum and Science Center has a wide array of interactive exhibits, as well as a full-dome planetarium that seats 50. The Phelps Mansion Museum, once known as "the Monday Afternoon Clubhouse," and the Roberson Mansion, on the premises of the Museum and Science Center, offer a glimpse of life in Binghamton during the Gilded Age. Tours are available for both homes.
• Unique food offerings — You can't visit Binghamton without trying some of its signature culinary treats. This may be the only place in the continental United States where you can get a spiede (pronounced "speedy"), a marinated cube of meat—lamb, pork, chicken, veal, beef and even venison are used—cooked in a barbeque pit on a skewer and served in a long roll. Locals also rave about the one-of-a-kind sauce at Little Venice Italian Restaurant, a local legend since 1946. Binghamton also boasts the "hot plate," macaroni salad and home fries topped with two cheeseburgers, chili, mustard and onions—you won't go home hungry!
• Brewpubs and wineries — The craft beer movement thrives in Binghamton, from the eponymous Binghamton Brewing Company, specialists in Belgian ales to the North Brewery, where creativity is the watchword—the brewers there have been known to put rhubarb, watermelon, lavender and even cucumbers in a malted beverage! There's also plenty for wine aficionados here, with local wineries such as the Black Bear and Lone Maple Farm offering tastings year-round.
• Shopping — Feed your retail appetite in greater Binghamton! Start with a stroll down Clinton Street, better known as "Antique Row," where you'll find dozens of collectible, antique and refinishing stores, as well as antique street lights. The neighborhood also offers dining establishments and art galleries. The nearby Oakdale Mall has all your favorite retailers and the downtown area is home to a number of upscale boutiques.
• Golf — Bring your clubs or plan a golf trip. Binghamton boasts more than a dozen great courses, with scenic and challenging layouts. Check out En-Joie Golf Club, which has hosted the PGA Champions Tour. Other top-rated links include Hiawatha Landing and the Conklin Players Club. One of the best things about golfing in Binghamton—you'll find the prices to be very reasonable.
