There’s something exciting about leaving town late at night with a bus full of travelers headed for a big-city adventure. The Fun Bus Chicago St. Patrick’s Day Red-Eye is designed for travelers who want to maximize their time in the Windy City—sleeping through the miles and waking up right in the middle of the action.
Fun Bus departs from the Fun Bus Terminal in Lancaster Friday Evening, March 13th, with convenient pickups along the way. After everyone is aboard, the motorcoach rolls quietly west through the night with quick rest stops providing a chance to stretch your legs and get a snack. We'll even stop at a full-service travel plaza in Merrillville, Indiana, around 7:00 AM. This break gives travelers time to grab breakfast, and freshen up before the day begins.
The Fun Bus arrives at the Chicago Cultural Center, early Saturday morning, making a perfect downtown drop-off location close to Millennium Park, the Chicago River, and countless restaurants and attractions. From here, the day is yours. Travelers can explore Chicago using public transportation, join scheduled tours, or simply wander the city streets soaking in the festive atmosphere.
St. Patrick’s Day weekend in Chicago is one of the city’s most famous celebrations. Visitors won’t want to miss the legendary dyeing of the Chicago River bright green, followed by the vibrant St. Patrick’s Day Parade, where bagpipers, marching bands, and colorful floats fill downtown with Irish pride. Beyond the festivities, Chicago offers endless experiences—take an architectural riverboat cruise along the Chicago River, ride the iconic Ferris wheel at Navy Pier, explore world-class museums, or stroll through Millennium Park for a photo with the famous Cloud Gate sculpture.
After a full day of celebration and sightseeing, travelers return to the Chicago Cultural Center for the 9:00 PM departure. The motorcoach heads back toward Ohio with another stop at the Merrillville travel plaza, giving passengers the chance to relax and refresh before the overnight journey home. A quick rest stop along the way ensures everyone arrives comfortably back in central Ohio early Sunday morning.
Red-Eye trips like this are a favorite among Fun Bus travelers because they make the most of your time. You leave late, sleep on the road, and arrive ready to experience an entire day in one of America’s greatest cities—without worrying about driving, parking, or navigating unfamiliar streets.
