Charter Buses to the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens From Pasadena Schools
With its world-class botanical gardens, rare manuscript collections, and rotating art exhibitions, the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens (1151 Oxford Rd, San Marino, CA 91108) is one of the most popular field trip destinations for Pasadena-area schools. School and tour groups arriving by bus must reserve bus parking and follow the only legal bus route to The Huntington from the north, using 1800 Orlando Road as the route’s GPS address. This gives your school group a defined route and a reserved parking arrangement for the visit. Charterbuspasadena.com connects your school with school field trip bus rentals from a large network of transportation providers serving the San Gabriel Valley.

Science and Discovery Field Trips From Pasadena to the Natural History Museum and Griffith Observatory
We know Pasadena teachers and trip coordinators are always looking for STEM-rich destinations that genuinely excite students, and few destinations deliver that better than the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (900 Exposition Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90007) or the iconic Griffith Observatory (2800 E Observatory Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90027). Both venues are roughly 20 to 30 minutes from most Pasadena campuses, making them ideal for a full-day field trip without burning most of the day on travel. At the Natural History Museum, school buses drop off and pick up on Exposition Park Drive in front of the South Lawn, and bus parking is in the Green Lot off Hoover Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, priced at $20 per yellow school bus and $42 per charter bus or other oversized vehicle.
The Griffith Observatory grounds map marks a bus lane, paid public parking, and a separate shared-ride drop-off and pick-up point, useful details when choosing a Pasadena field trip bus option for each stop. Compare charter bus pricing online in under 30 seconds!
Kidspace Children's Museum Field Trips Are Easier With a Pasadena Bus Rental
Charterbuspasadena.com makes it possible for early childhood educators and elementary school teachers in Pasadena to get their youngest learners to Kidspace Children's Museum (480 N Arroyo Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91103) and avoid coordinating parent drivers. Located just off the Arroyo Seco Parkway near the Rose Bowl, Kidspace sits in a neighborhood where parking for personal vehicles can be genuinely tricky on busy school days. School group visits require advance reservations and at least one adult chaperone for every five children, so a minibus rental in Pasadena gives the class one shared ride to the visit.

Caltech's campus (1200 E California Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91125) offers prospective students individual campus visits, while its group-tour program has been discontinued.
And the Rose Bowl Stadium (1001 Rose Bowl Dr, Pasadena, CA 91103) hosts events, tours, and athletic competitions that draw school groups from the entire San Gabriel Valley. For a Rose Bowl event that directs oversized vehicles to West Drive, event parking passes are offered in advance, so your group can travel together on a Pasadena charter bus rental.

Yes, it's really that easy, and no account is required!
Booking two to three months ahead is strongly recommended for most Pasadena field trips, especially for high-demand dates like the weeks surrounding the Rose Parade each January and the end-of-year field trip rush in May and June. JPL onsite group tours require reservations at least three weeks in advance and are for groups of 20 to 40, while the Huntington requires bus groups to reserve parking. The earlier you book, the better your vehicle selection and pricing!
Yes. The Huntington's school-group bus drop-off zone is near the Admission entry, and groups must arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled time. Your Pasadena school shuttle bus can bring the group to the venue together for its scheduled visit.
Yes, but tour buses must unload on Colorado Boulevard adjacent to the Norton Simon Museum. Buses may park on Colorado Boulevard or Walnut Street as city signs permit, and may not unload or park in the Museum parking lot. That gives a school group a designated street-side unload location and street parking options rather than the Museum lot.
Absolutely. ADA-accessible charter bus rentals are available through the network for Pasadena field trips. Vehicle options can include wheelchair lifts, widened aisle space, and wheelchair securement systems for students with accessibility needs.
Simply mention your accessibility needs when you fill out your quote request or call 747-268-6010, and the support team can help identify options for your requirements.
Yes! The network covers destinations throughout Southern California and beyond. Pasadena schools regularly book field trips to venues in Los Angeles, Anaheim, San Diego, and other cities, and long-distance charter buses in the network offer options with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and power outlets for longer hauls.
