Seattle School Trip Bus Rentals

With Busrentalseattle.com, booking a charter bus to Seattle's most popular science and nature field trip destinations is straightforward and fast. The Pacific Science Center (200 Sue Bird Court N., Seattle, WA 98109) at Seattle Center (305 Harrison St., Seattle, WA 98109) welcomes school groups year-round. Buses and vehicles taller than 16 feet use the loading/drop zone on 2nd Ave N., just south of Thomas St.; oversized-vehicle parking is in the 5th Ave. parking lot, accessed via 5th Ave. at Harrison St., for $10 per bus, which isn't included in your free price quote.

The Woodland Park Zoo (5500 Phinney Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103) offers six first-come, first-served oversized vehicle spaces in the Lion Lot, where buses pay for parking at self-serve kiosks; all field trips enter through the South Entrance. Bus/RV parking is in the Lion Lot only, so a group can unload at the South Entrance and keep the bus in the zoo’s designated bus lot. Compare school field trip bus rentals from Seattle’s network and keep your group together on the trip.

With Busrentalseattle.com, you'll find that not every field trip needs a full-size motorcoach, and that's exactly why the network includes compact, versatile minibuses sized for smaller groups. A 15-passenger minibus is ideal for a single classroom heading to the Frye Art Museum (704 Terry Ave, Seattle, WA 98104) in First Hill, where narrow surrounding streets make a smaller vehicle the smarter call. Organized groups of six or more must notify the museum in advance, and paid street parking is available along Terry Ave, 9th Ave, Columbia St, Marion St, and Cherry St. A 25-passenger minibus handles two classrooms traveling together to the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture (4300 15th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98195) on the University of Washington campus.

Bus parking is limited to the lower lot in front of the museum and must be reserved before the visit, so plan bus space when coordinating the field trip. Minibuses from the network come equipped with WiFi, power outlets, overhead storage, and air conditioning, keeping students comfortable and teachers focused on the learning, not the logistics. Fill out one quick form to compare minibus options and pricing right now, a no-brainer for busy teachers!

Give your students an unforgettable multi-day learning experience with overnight field trip transportation through the Busrentalseattle.com network. Seattle schools frequently organize extended trips to destinations like Mount Rainier National Park (roughly 90 miles southeast via SR-7 and US-12), Olympic National Park (accessible via the Kingston Ferry from Edmonds or the Bainbridge Island Ferry from Colman Dock), and North Cascades National Park (about 120 miles northeast on SR-20). For Mount Rainier school field trips, an education fee-waiver application must be submitted at least one month before the visit.

North Cascades ranger-led field-trip reservations must be made four weeks in advance, and the programs take place in the Newhalem area. Full-size charter buses in the network can offer reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, individual power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays, so students can use the ride time to rest and recharge. A live support team is available every single day of the year at 206-837-6190 to help you build a custom multi-day itinerary, coordinate overnight accommodations for your group, and put together a package that works for YOUR school's schedule and budget. Yes, it's really that easy!
