This double decker bus is what Aiden calls the “London bus” thanks to the London portion of the Sharknado 5 movie. We decided to try this bus out while we were at the Chicago Air & Water show.
Aiden was excited to try out something he’d seen in a movie and we were excited to relax and just take in the sights. We saved about $8 each on tickets using Groupon ahead of time and a kids ticket is about half the price of an adult. We sat on the top level with great views and a great breeze. Aiden was a little taken back because there were no seatbelts. He wasn’t scared, just surprised. The thing that was scary, though, were the tree branches that we passed by. We learned quickly to watch our heads and duck. And also to keep our hands inside. The bus drives really close to the sign and banner posts on the sides of the streets.
The tour had several stops all over downtown. You’re allowed to hop on and off the bus as much as you’d like for the day. Our tour guide seemed to know her Chicago history pretty well and although her jokes could use work, they were still appreciated. This was really a relaxing ride and it was a truly awesome view of the air show.
