Charter Buses for California Science Center and Exposition Park Field Trips
The California Science Center (700 Exposition Park Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90037) and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (900 W Exposition Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90007) sit within walking distance of each other in Exposition Park, making them convenient paired stops for a field trip. The Science Center offers group or bus parking; contact a reservationist for current parking and arrival information through the California Science Center field trips and groups page. The Natural History Museum directs school buses to Exposition Park Dr. for drop-off and pickup, with bus parking in the Green Lot off Hoover Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard; yellow school buses pay $20 per bus, while charter buses and other oversized vehicles pay $42 per vehicle, according to the Natural History Museum field trip FAQs.
One charter bus keeps your entire class together from the first exhibit to the last, with no parent carpool to coordinate across the lot.
School Buses for Getty Center Field Trips in Los Angeles
The Getty Center (1200 Getty Center Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90049) is one of Los Angeles's premier school field trip destinations. School groups must make a reservation, and approved K–12 School Group Reservations include complimentary bus and vehicle parking, according to the Getty Education field trip FAQs. Buses use the North Entry Parking structure accessed via Sepulveda Boulevard at Getty Center Drive, where Getty Security directs school buses to the appropriate spaces.
The tram from the parking structure to the museum is part of the experience. Build extra time into your departure window for traffic through the Sepulveda Pass, and confirm the current arrival instructions with Getty School Group Reservations before your visit. A charter bus with onboard WiFi can make that drive more comfortable, but confirm amenities with the operator providing your quote.
Buses for Griffith Observatory and LA Zoo Field Trips
Two of Los Angeles's most-visited school destinations sit inside Griffith Park — and both come with logistics your group needs to know before departure. At Griffith Observatory (2800 East Observatory Road, Los Angeles, CA 90027), school visits are available through the Observatory's school programs, and groups should confirm current arrival and pickup instructions before the trip through Griffith Observatory school programs. At the Los Angeles Zoo (5333 Zoo Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90027), school groups check in at the Children's Discovery Center school group entrance.
Students and chaperones must remain on the bus until Zoo Guest Services staff provide unloading instructions, according to the Los Angeles Zoo field trip information. One bus keeps your class together between both stops without splitting into separate cars across the park.
Field Trip Buses to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach
The Aquarium of the Pacific (100 Aquarium Way, Long Beach, CA 90802) is a popular field trip destination for schools across Los Angeles County and Orange County alike. The Aquarium requires advance reservations for field trips, and its adjacent parking structure is located at 99 Aquarium Way; visitors with Aquarium validation pay an $8 flat rate, according to the Aquarium of the Pacific frequently asked questions. Confirm bus arrival and parking instructions with the Aquarium's group sales team before your visit.
The I-710 south from downtown Los Angeles is the direct approach to Long Beach; allow additional time from central LA on a weekday morning, especially if you're coming from the Valley. A 56-passenger motorcoach with undercarriage luggage bays can handle backpacks, lunches, and gear so your students can walk from the bus without juggling bags across the parking area.
Charter Buses for La Brea Tar Pits and LACMA School Visits
The La Brea Tar Pits & Museum (5801 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036) and LACMA (5905 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036) sit one block apart on the Miracle Mile, making them a natural pairing for a full-day field trip. At the Tar Pits, buses can drop off, pick up, and park for free on Curson Avenue; if Curson is full, buses can park for free on 6th Street, according to the La Brea Tar Pits bus parking and drop-off map. LACMA school groups should coordinate arrival details with the museum before the visit.
A compact 15- to 35-passenger minibus can be a practical choice for this area, but confirm the vehicle's arrival and staging instructions with each venue and the operator providing your quote.

The California Science Center offers group or bus parking, but its current bus arrival and drop-off instructions should be confirmed with a reservationist before your visit. The Science Center lists its address as 700 Exposition Park Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90037 and directs school groups to its field trips and groups information for parking details. Confirm current drop-off logistics and parking availability when making your field trip reservation.
Confirm current bus parking, drop-off, and staging instructions with Griffith Observatory before your school field trip. The Observatory lists its address as 2800 East Observatory Road, Los Angeles, CA 90027 and provides school-visit information through its school programs page. Because road and parking conditions in Griffith Park can change, your driver and lead teacher should agree on a pickup plan before arrival.
For a spring-semester trip, request transportation quotes as soon as your school confirms its date, especially if you are visiting a destination with limited school-group availability. Museum reservations and vehicle availability can vary by date, so provide your pickup location, destination, passenger count, accessibility requirements, and preferred arrival time when requesting a quote. Fall trips can also require advance planning around school calendars and local venue schedules.
ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible onboard restrooms may be available through transportation providers serving Los Angeles. Mention your accessibility requirements when you fill out the quote form or when you call 213-213-5410 so available vehicles can be matched to your group's needs. Request accessibility details early and confirm the features of the vehicle offered before finalizing your reservation.
Build extra time beyond your normal drive estimate for any field trip crossing the I-405 Sepulveda Pass, the I-10 through downtown, or Wilshire Boulevard during school hours. Traffic conditions can change quickly, so ask the transportation provider for a recommended departure window based on your pickup location, destination, arrival time, and date. For Griffith Park and Exposition Park destinations, confirm the preferred route and arrival instructions with the venue and the operator before departure.
