A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Norton Museum of Art
If your group appreciates culture and history, the Norton Museum of Art is a non-negotiable stop on your West Palm Beach itinerary. Located at 1450 S Dixie Hwy, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, this museum is the largest of its kind in Florida, boasting a distinguished collection of over 8,200 works, including American, Chinese, European, and contemporary art, as well as photography. It’s an ideal destination for school field trips, senior citizen outings, or sophisticated corporate networking events. The museum recently underwent a massive expansion designed by Lord Norman Foster, making the architecture just as stunning as the art inside.
Why Rent a Bus here? While the Norton has a parking lot across the street, it can fill up rapidly during special exhibitions or Art After Dark events on Fridays. By booking a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company West Palm Beach, you can arrange for a seamless drop-off right at the main entrance. Your group can step off the bus and head straight to the ticket counter without worrying about finding a spot or walking in the Florida heat. Your driver will handle parking off-site and return to pick you up exactly when you’re ready to leave. Whether you are bringing a class of art students or a group of donors for a gala, a private shuttle ensures everyone arrives together and on time.
Lion Country Safari
For a truly wild experience that you can’t find anywhere else in the state, head out to Lion Country Safari. Located at 2003 Lion Country Safari Rd, Loxahatchee, FL 33470, this is Florida's only drive-through safari and walk-through amusement park. It is a fantastic destination for youth groups, summer camps, and family reunions. Visitors can see over 1,000 animals, including giraffes, zebras, rhinos, and, of course, lions, roaming freely in wide-open habitats. It’s an immersive experience that transports you from South Florida to the African savannah in the blink of an eye.
Why Rent a Bus here? Lion Country Safari is located about 20 miles west of downtown West Palm Beach, making it a bit of a trek if you are trying to coordinate a convoy of personal cars. Renting a charter bus transforms the commute into part of the adventure. Your group can watch animal documentaries on the onboard TV screens during the drive over. Once you arrive, many charter buses can actually drive through the safari (subject to park rules and bus dimensions—be sure to verify with our reservation specialists!), allowing your group to view the animals from the high vantage point of the bus windows. If not, the park offers rental vans, and your charter bus can wait comfortably in the parking lot while you explore the walk-through Adventure Park section.
Mounts Botanical Garden
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse your group in nature at Mounts Botanical Garden. Situated at 531 N Military Trl, West Palm Beach, FL 33415, this 14-acre living plant museum is Palm Beach County’s oldest and largest botanical garden. With 25 unique garden areas—including a tropical fruit garden, a butterfly garden, and a serene Zen garden—it is a sensory delight. This is a perfect stop for garden clubs, photography groups, or anyone looking for a peaceful afternoon stroll. The garden often hosts plant sales and educational workshops that are great for community groups.
Why Rent a Bus here? Mounts Botanical Garden is located right near Palm Beach International Airport, an area that can see significant traffic congestion. A minibus rental is the perfect solution for navigating Military Trail effortlessly. Instead of your group members getting separated at stoplights or struggling with GPS directions, everyone rides together in air-conditioned comfort. The garden has specific areas for bus drop-offs, ensuring that your group—especially those with mobility concerns—can access the entrance easily without a long walk. After your tour, your driver will be waiting to whisk you away to lunch or your next attraction.
Manatee Lagoon
One of the most unique eco-attractions in the area is Manatee Lagoon, an FPL Eco-Discovery Center. Located at 6000 N Flagler Dr, West Palm Beach, FL 33407, this educational center is dedicated to the Florida manatee. During the cooler winter months, manatees flock to the warm-water outflows of the nearby Florida Power & Light plant, and the lagoon offers viewing decks where you can see these gentle giants up close. Even when manatees aren't present, the center features interactive exhibits, solar trees, and educational talks that are fantastic for school groups and eco-tourists.
Why Rent a Bus here? Manatee Lagoon is a popular spot, especially during manatee season (November through March). Parking can become scarce, and coordinating a large group in a busy lot is stressful. With a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company West Palm Beach, you avoid the hassle entirely. We can drop your student group or tour group right at the front, allowing for maximum time exploring the exhibits and scanning the water for sea cows. Teachers and chaperones love the convenience of doing headcounts on the bus before disembarking, ensuring no student is left behind.
The Square (formerly CityPlace)
If your group is looking for the premier shopping, dining, and entertainment hub in West Palm Beach, look no further than The Square. Located at 700 S Rosemary Ave, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, this dynamic urban district features Mediterranean-inspired architecture, open-air plazas, and a vast array of restaurants ranging from casual eateries to upscale dining. It’s the perfect place for a corporate group to grab dinner after a conference or for a wedding party to enjoy a night out. With frequent live music, art installations, and a movie theater, there is something for everyone.
Why Rent a Bus here? Parking in downtown West Palm Beach can be expensive and confusing, with various garages and street parking rules. If you are bringing a large group for dinner or shopping, the last thing you want is for everyone to have to pay individual parking fees or walk blocks from a garage. A private shuttle bus can drop your group off right on Rosemary Avenue, in the heart of the action. You can shop and dine to your heart's content, knowing your driver is just a phone call away when you are ready to be picked up. Plus, if you are enjoying cocktails at one of the many bars, your charter bus serves as the ultimate designated driver.
Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society
For a wild day out that appeals to all ages, the Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society is a top-tier choice. Located at 1301 Summit Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33405, the zoo houses over 550 animals from around the world within 23 acres of lush tropical habitat. Highlights include the Malayan tigers, jaguars, and a vibrant aviary. It’s an engaging destination for school field trips, birthday parties, and corporate family days. The zoo focuses heavily on conservation education, making it both a fun and enriching experience.
Why Rent a Bus here? Organizing a field trip or a large family outing involves a lot of moving parts—tickets, lunches, schedules, and keeping track of kids. Let Charter Bus Rental Company West Palm Beach handle the transportation logistics so you can focus on the rest. Our charter buses come with ample undercarriage storage, perfect for stowing coolers for lunch, backpacks, and strollers. The zoo has a dedicated bus lane for easy loading and unloading, keeping your group safe and off the main roads. Plus, the ride home is the perfect time for kids to nap in reclining seats after a long day of walking!
Cox Science Center and Aquarium
Located right next door to the zoo at 4801 Dreher Trail N, West Palm Beach, FL 33405, the Cox Science Center and Aquarium makes for an excellent double-feature day trip. This hands-on science museum features over 100 interactive exhibits, a digital planetarium, and a 10,000-gallon fresh and saltwater aquarium. It’s a favorite for STEM-focused school trips and summer camps. From the Physics Forest outside to the touch tanks inside, it offers hours of educational entertainment.
Why Rent a Bus here? Since the Science Center and the Zoo are adjacent, a charter bus gives you the flexibility to visit both in one day without moving cars or paying for parking twice. You can schedule a drop-off at the Zoo in the morning and a pickup at the Science Center in the afternoon. Onboard amenities like a PA system allow teachers or tour leaders to brief the group on the itinerary or conduct a quiz about what they learned on the ride back to school or the hotel.
Rapids Water Park
When the Florida heat kicks in, there is no better place for a group to cool off than Rapids Water Park. Located just north of the city at 6566 N Military Trl, Riviera Beach, FL 33407, this is South Florida’s largest water park. It features 42 slides and attractions, including a wave pool, lazy river, and high-speed thrill rides like the Big Thunder. It is a legendary spot for graduation parties, sports team celebrations, and youth group summer outings.
Why Rent a Bus here? After a full day of swimming and sliding under the sun, your group will be exhausted. Driving home in wet swimsuits and tired bodies is a recipe for a stressful end to a fun day. A charter bus rental offers a comfortable, climate-controlled retreat. Your group can dry off, change, and relax in plush seats with plenty of legroom. We can stow wet towels and gear in the luggage bays underneath the bus, keeping the cabin clean and dry. Your driver will handle the traffic on Military Trail while your group rests up.
