Boomerang Meets the Wine Festival |
Do I have to be over 21 years old?
Riders on the Boomerang must be 21 years of age or older AND have a government-issued, valid ID available (US or International drivers' licenses, passports, or other government issued ID). You will be carded again when you enter the festival.
What should I bring with me?
You do not need to bring much to ride the Boomerang! You may want to watch the weather and bring sunscreen or an umbrella depending. Some guests like to bring blankets to lay out on the lawn with a bottle of wine and some friends. A camera is always good too!
If Boomerang is running more than one bus when I want to go, how can I make sure I'll be on the same bus with my friends?
If you are signing up with friends, we ask you to provide the approximate number of people you expect to sign up, and the name of the group "organizer," when you purchase your ticket(s). By providing this information, we will be able to assign you to the same bus as the rest of your group. Please keep in mind, however, that providing this information does not "reserve" your friend's space - we only ask for these details so that we can keep groups of friends together, and plan accordingly. Your friends' space is in no way reserved or guaranteed until they purchase their own tickets, and tours usually sells out quickly, so please tell them to book as soon as they can!
If the tour is sold out, is there a waiting list?
No, Boomerang does not keep a waiting list for our tours. Tours do sell out, and often well in advance, so please make sure to purchase your tickets far in advance, especially if you have limited time availability.
How much money should I bring?
This depends on how many souvenirs you would like to bring home! There will be arts & crafts and food, along with over 300 bottles of wine that you might like to purchase, so plan accordingly.
Who will be on board during the tour?
On every trip there will be three employees of Boomerang Tours. There will be a licensed and experienced driver as well as two fun and outrageous party directors. Their job is to entertain you on and off the bus so that you have a great experience!
Can I drink on the bus?
Yes, you are able to drink on the bus.
Can I leave my belongings on the bus?
Yes. The Boomerang will be locked during the festival, but Boomerang Tours is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.
How long are we on the bus? How much time is spent at the festival?
The trip to and from the festival should take between 30-45 minutes. We are at the festival from 11am until about 4pm.
Do I need to tip the driver and party directors?
We do not require you to pay gratuity but these individuals are working for you. If you feel they have done a good job then please be kind and tip them just as you would your bartender or waiter. They work very hard to make sure you have a great experience.
What if someone gets out of hand?
Well, let's hope everyone has a good time responsibly, but if someone becomes unruly or harmful in any manner to themselves, our guests, or our employees, we reserve the right to remove them or not allow them onto the bus. This rarely happens, but we will not hesitate to keep you safe and ensure your enjoyment.
What about drinking and driving?
One of the reasons we created Boomerang Tours was to provide a safe way for you to enjoy the are without having to drive. Please help us by a) using the Metro or public other public transportation, b) always using a designated driver, and c) being responsible with your drinking. Your safety and enjoyment are important to us. We highly discourage anyone to drive to one of our events and drive home afterwards if you have been drinking. Drinking and driving is against the law.
Is the Boomerang wheel chair accessible?
The Boomerang is not wheel chair accessible at this time, but we will try to make any accommodations to help a rider on the bus.
Are there bathrooms on the Boomerang?
There are no bathrooms on the Boomerang. The trip to the festival will be under 40 minutes.
