Chico Charter Bus Rentals for Field Trips of Any Kind
While the Chico Unified School District offers a robust science curriculum, nothing compares to letting students experience hands-on learning at the Chico Creek Nature Center (1968 E 8th St, Chico, CA 95928). Since the center doesn't have a parking lot large enough for full-size motorcoaches, our smaller minibus options allow us to drop your students off right at the gate and coordinate a convenient pickup so you don't have to split students into multiple cars. You can also take high schoolers on a campus tour of California State University, Chico (400 W 1st St, Chico, CA 95929)-where you can bypass the complicated airport-style security system of the George F. Petersen structure (825 W 2nd St) because we handle all that for you-or plan a fun outing for your youth group or scout troop. With features like reclining seats, TV monitors, and WiFi hotspots, even the longest rides go by fast.
We provide charter bus rentals in Chico, California, as well as nearby towns like Oroville, Paradise, Red Bluff, and Corning.
