Burbank School Field Trip Charter Bus Rentals

Burbank sits at one of the most enviable positions in all of Southern California for museum field trips — within 30 miles of more world-class museums than most school districts could visit in a full semester. The 101 through Hollywood backs up hard during morning drop-off windows, and parking a fleet of personal vehicles near the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (5905 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036) or the La Brea Tar Pits (5801 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036) costs more per car than most field trip budgets can absorb.

A charter bus rental from Burbank changes everything. One vehicle, one flat rate, and the whole class arrives together at the same entrance — no straggling cars circling Wilshire Boulevard, no parents missing the turn. The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (900 Exposition Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90007) and the California Science Center both have dedicated group bus drop-off areas near their main entrances; the Natural History Museum places school-bus drop-off on Exposition Park Drive near the South Lawn, with bus parking in the Green Lot off Hoover Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Yellow school buses are listed at $20 per bus, while charter buses and other oversized vehicles are listed at $42 per vehicle, so the group can plan its arrival and parking before the field trip.

Griffith Park is one of the largest urban parks in the United States, and for Burbank schools it's practically in the backyard — but "practically in the backyard" doesn't mean parking is easy. The Griffith Observatory (2800 E Observatory Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90027) sits at the top of a winding road where bus drop-off is available at a designated area near the building, but buses may not park or wait at the Observatory and must leave after unloading. The Los Angeles Zoo (5333 Zoo Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90027), also inside Griffith Park, has a designated bus drop-off area, and after unloading buses may move to the far north area of the parking lot; check the LA Zoo getting here page before your visit to confirm current group arrival procedures.

Rather than coordinating a caravan of parent vehicles up the hill and hoping everyone finds the right lot, a field trip bus rental keeps the group together from pickup to drop-off. Teachers stay focused on the lesson, chaperones stay with the students, and nobody gets separated in the Griffith Park road maze. Whether your class is stargazing at the Observatory or studying wildlife at the Zoo, a Burbank field trip bus makes the logistics disappear.

STEM field trips out of Burbank have a deep bench to pull from. The California Science Center (700 Exposition Park Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90037) is home to the Space Shuttle Endeavour and a full slate of interactive science exhibits, and it offers free general admission for school groups — making it one of the most popular destinations for Burbank elementary and middle school classes. The Discovery Cube Los Angeles (11800 Foothill Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 91342) in Sylmar is even closer, sitting right off the 210 with group bus parking available on-site; buses use the turnaround to make a U-turn in front of the center, students exit on the Discovery Cube side of the street, and parking is free.

Outside food and beverages are not allowed, although bottled water is permitted, so groups should plan lunches before arrival on the Discovery Cube LA visit page.

For the California Science Center, bus drop-off for school groups is coordinated through Exposition Park — review the California Science Center group visits page for current arrival and parking guidance.
