Fort Wayne Children's Zoo

Consistently ranked as one of the top zoos in the nation, the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo is a must-visit destination for school field trips , summer camps, and large family outings. Located within Franke Park, this zoo offers an immersive experience ranging from the African Journey to the Australian Adventure. However, the parking lot off Sherman Boulevard can get incredibly crowded during peak summer months. By booking a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Fort Wayne, you eliminate the headache of finding multiple parking spots. We can drop your group right at the main entrance so you can head straight for the stingrays or the giraffe feeding platform.

After a long day of walking through the Indonesian Rain Forest and riding the Sky Safari, your group will be relieved to step onto a climate-controlled bus. Unlike traditional yellow school buses, our charter buses offer air conditioning and comfortable seating, allowing kids and chaperones to cool down and relax on the ride back to school or your hotel. We can accommodate groups of any size, ensuring that your entire class or family stays together.

Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory

Located in the heart of downtown Fort Wayne, the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory is an enclosed oasis featuring three gardens: the Showcase Garden (which changes seasonally), the Tropical Garden, and the Desert Garden. It is a fantastic destination for senior citizen tours, garden clubs, and wedding photos. However, downtown parking can be tricky, especially if there are other events happening at the nearby Embassy Theatre or Grand Wayne Convention Center. Navigating one-way streets like Jefferson Boulevard with a convoy of cars is a recipe for getting separated.

When you rent a shuttle bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Fort Wayne, your driver handles the downtown logistics for you. We can drop your group curbside on S. Calhoun Street, allowing easy access to the conservatory. While you admire the orchids and waterfalls, your driver will handle the parking. This is especially helpful for winter trips; you can leave your coats on the bus and enjoy the tropical temperatures inside without having to bundle up for a long walk from a parking garage.

Parkview Field

Home to the Fort Wayne TinCaps, Parkview Field is more than just a baseball stadium—it’s a community gathering place that has revitalized downtown. It is consistently voted the #1 Minor League Baseball experience in the country. Groups love heading here for corporate outings, church fellowship nights, and bachelor parties. The stadium offers group seating options, including the popular Home Run Porch and luxury suites. However, game days bring heavy traffic to the Harrison Street and Ewing Street areas.

Make your game day a home run by booking a charter bus or minibus rental. We can transport your entire fan club from your office, church, or neighborhood directly to the stadium gates. You won’t have to worry about paying for premium parking or walking blocks to get to the entrance. If your group wants to enjoy a few beverages at the game, you already have a built-in designated driver to ensure everyone gets home safely. With onboard storage, you can even bring along banners or team gear to show your spirit!

Science Central

Housed in a colorful, historic power plant, Science Central is a hands-on science center that sparks curiosity in visitors of all ages. It is a prime destination for STEM field trips in Northeast Indiana. With over 200 permanent exhibits, including "Science On a Sphere," it can be a high-energy day. Teachers and administrators know that managing a large group of students is challenging enough without worrying about the reliability of old school buses.

Upgrade your next field trip with a charter bus rental. Not only are our buses safer and more reliable, but they also offer amenities that keep students occupied during the drive. You can play educational DVDs on the onboard monitors or let students use the WiFi to complete worksheets on their tablets. We can easily navigate the drop-off circle off N.

Sweetwater Sound

Fort Wayne is headquarters to Sweetwater, the world's largest online retailer of musical instruments and pro audio equipment. Their massive campus off US Highway 30 is a destination in itself, featuring a music store, academy, performance pavilion, and even a dining hall and slide! Music departments, bands, and corporate groups often tour this impressive facility to see how a billion-dollar company operates.

If you are bringing a marching band or a large corporate team to tour Sweetwater, a 56-passenger charter bus is the ideal solution. We have ample storage space for instruments in the bays beneath the bus, keeping the aisles clear for passengers. Your driver can drop your group right at the main entrance for your tour and wait nearby in the designated oversized vehicle parking areas. Enjoy the convenience of door-to-door service without the hassle of coordinating a dozen separate cars on the highway.

Promenade Park / Riverfront Fort Wayne

Promenade Park is the crown jewel of Fort Wayne’s riverfront development. Located on the north and south banks of the St. Marys River, it features a tree canopy trail, kids' canal, amphitheater, and accessible playgrounds. It’s a fantastic spot for family reunions, company picnics, and community festivals. Because it draws large crowds, especially on weekends and during festivals like the Three Rivers Festival, parking nearby can be scarce and expensive.

Let Charter Bus Rental Company Fort Wayne handle the logistics for your riverfront outing. A minibus is perfect for shuttling your group from a designated parking lot or hotel directly to the park entrance on Superior Street. Your group can enjoy the pavilion, rent kayaks, or take a boat tour without worrying about feeding parking meters or walking long distances. After a day in the sun, a cool, air-conditioned bus is the perfect way to wind down.

Fort Wayne Museum of Art

Located within the Arts Campus downtown, the Fort Wayne Museum of Art (FWMoA) focuses on American art, including diverse mediums like glass and sculpture. It’s a sophisticated destination for university art departments, private tour groups, and cultural organizations. The Arts Campus is walkable, but getting a large group there requires coordination.

A private bus rental allows your group to arrive together, ready for a docent-led tour. You can easily combine a trip to FWMoA with a visit to the nearby Auer Center for Arts & Culture or a performance at the Arts United Center. The drivers are familiar with the downtown grid and can stage the bus nearby while your group explores the galleries. We ensure that your cultural outing remains high-class and stress-free from start to finish.
