Columbia School Field Trip Charter Bus Rentals

Get your students to two of Columbia's most popular field trip destinations without the parking scramble on Gervais Street. The South Carolina State Museum (301 Gervais St, Columbia, SC 29201) and EdVenture Children's Museum (211 Gervais St, Columbia, SC 29201) sit side by side on Gervais Street, making them a natural pair for a full-day field trip. Buses drop students at the Gervais Street frontage and stage along the Assembly Street corridor while your group explores inside — no parent carpools circling downtown, no students scattered across multiple vehicles.

School and group programs at EdVenture run from September through May, and Coble Plaza beside the museum is available for lunch because the museum does not provide indoor group dining space; the EdVenture field trip page carries the current scheduling details. Your bus keeps the museum stop organized while your students eat and move between activities. With Columbiasccharterbusservices.com, you can compare 15-passenger minibuses through 56-passenger charter buses from a network of bus companies serving Columbia, so you always find the right size for your class.

With Columbiasccharterbusservices.com, you get access to buses sized perfectly for a Riverbanks Zoo field trip — from a 25-passenger minibus for a single classroom to multiple 56-passenger charter buses for an entire grade. Riverbanks Zoo & Garden has a designated motorcoach entrance and parking area off Wildlife Pkwy, so your buses arrive organized and your students unload near the main gate. For groups of 15 or more, Riverbanks asks you to reserve at least two weeks ahead, and its group page lists a $10 parking cost per bus; see the Riverbanks Zoo group visits page for the current group parking details.

Your bus rolls in as one organized arrival instead of sending families to separate parking spaces. Riverbanks is one of the Southeast's top-rated zoos with more than 2,000 animals and a full botanical garden across the Saluda River — and it's just minutes from downtown Columbia via I-126.
