Redwood City Field Trip Bus Rentals for Science and Nature Sites
With one quick form, you can compare field trip transportation to some of the most engaging science and nature destinations within easy reach of Redwood City. Filoli Historic House and Garden (86 Cañada Road, Woodside, CA 94062) sits about 10 minutes from downtown Redwood City, and Filoli's school field trips run Monday through Friday with arrivals from 10am, booked in advance. Buses turn in at Filoli's Cañada Road entrance and follow the drive to the Gate House, with drop-off, pickup and free parking in the main lot, so the whole class steps off together at one spot.
Heading to San Mateo instead? CuriOdyssey (1651 Coyote Point Dr., San Mateo, CA 94401) is the former Coyote Point Museum for Environmental Education. CuriOdyssey's unloading zone sits next to the museum in the traffic circle by the wheelchair ramp, so students hop off together before the bus parks.
Bus parking is paid at Coyote Point's main gate on entry ($20 per bus, which isn't included in your free price quote), and group rates need a reservation at least 30 days ahead. A school field trip bus rental through Charterbusrentalredwoodcity.com makes getting there simple. Fill out one quick form and compare pricing from the network!
San Francisco Field Trip Transportation From Redwood City
Get your class on a bus and head north on US-101, since San Francisco's world-class cultural and science institutions are about 30 to 45 minutes from Redwood City. At the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park, the Academy's bus loading zone is at the front of the building, and street parking for buses is often available on the west side of the park near Lindale Meadow. That means students unload together right at the entrance instead of crossing the busy park on foot.
Art classes can add the de Young Museum to the same San Francisco day. The Exploratorium at Pier 15 (Embarcadero at Green Street, San Francisco) is another perennial favorite. The Exploratorium's bus drop-off is directly in front at Pier 17 on the Embarcadero, and buses are then sent to a short-term bus parking location.
Drop-off space and bus parking there are very limited, so schools make a separate bus reservation after booking the field trip, with fixed slots (arrive 10:00 am and leave at Noon, or arrive 12:30 pm and leave at 2:30 pm), and one bus carrying the whole class makes those slots easy to hit. Rent a charter bus for your San Francisco day and see pricing online in no time!
Redwood City Minibus Rentals for Peninsula and Bay Area Field Trips
Coordinating group transportation across the Peninsula doesn't have to mean juggling phone calls, waiting on callbacks, and comparing quotes that never quite line up. Through Charterbusrentalredwoodcity.com, teachers, administrators, and parent volunteers in Redwood City can fill out one quick form and instantly compare field trip buses from a large network of independent providers, no account needed. Heading to the Computer History Museum (1401 N Shoreline Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94043)?
The Computer History Museum's parking is free for all visitors, including groups arriving in buses, and the museum is open Wednesday through Sunday. Computer History Museum group reservations cover 10 to 60 people, so one or two buses carry the whole reserved group in a single trip. Planning a visit to the NASA Ames Visitor Center instead?
It's located at Chabot Space and Science Center (10000 Skyline Blvd., Oakland), where the drop-off area is in front of the main entrance, reached by the driveway from Skyline Boulevard. Whichever stop is on the schedule, Charterbusrentalredwoodcity.com helps you find the right minibus or motorcoach for the job. Call 650-820-0620 any time for help building your itinerary!
Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Charter Bus Rentals From Redwood City
You can use Charterbusrentalredwoodcity.com to rent a field trip bus when your trip takes students further down the coast to one of California's most celebrated learning destinations. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is about 90 miles south of Redwood City, so one bus found through Charterbusrentalredwoodcity.com with the whole class aboard is the easy way to make a day of it. Outside summer, the Aquarium's bus drop-off is on the right side of Cannery Row just before Hovden Way, and loading on David Avenue between Wave Street and Cannery Row isn't allowed.
Buses then park on Foam Street, David Avenue or Prescott Avenue and return to the re-pickup zone on Cannery Row near Hovden Way, so students step off and board again at one curb. For a longer academic excursion, buses heading to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (400 Beach Street, Santa Cruz) unload in the Boardwalk's street loading zone between Neptune's Kingdom and the Main Entrance, then park free in the River Lot at 100 3rd St (bus parking there is limited and not guaranteed). The UC Santa Cruz Arboretum (1156 High St, Santa Cruz, CA 95064) rounds out a multi-stop itinerary, with the Arboretum's open grassy areas for lunch or instruction once teachers complete its reservation form. Charterbusrentalredwoodcity.com connects you with a network of bus companies for long-haul trips. Compare bus types online today!
Redwood City Field Trip Transportation Around Traffic and Parking
Think ahead about US-101 construction delays, the Dumbarton Bridge backup, and charter bus parking at crowded Bay Area destinations when you find field trip transportation through Charterbusrentalredwoodcity.com. Build your departure time around the Peninsula's rush hours, and gather everyone at one meeting spot before the bus arrives so the whole class rolls out together. Heading to the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center (2 Marshlands Rd., Fremont, CA 94555) for a wetlands science program?
The Don Edwards refuge's Visitor Center is open Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., so plan a weekend trip around that window. Closer to home, the Hiller Aviation Museum (601 Skyway Rd, San Carlos, CA 94070) sits about 3 miles from Redwood City, and the Hiller Aviation Museum's school field trips come with plentiful free parking for buses and admission for school groups from 9:30 a.m. A group bus rental through Charterbusrentalredwoodcity.com keeps your whole class together on one vehicle, with nobody stuck driving or circling for a space.
Get the ball rolling with one quick form... it really is that easy!
