Ontario Science and Nature Field Trips Made Easy with a Charter Bus Rental
Why battle bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 10 or the 60 when your class can travel together instead? Ontario sits at the crossroads of some of Southern California's most popular science and nature destinations, and a charter bus rental lets students travel together and arrive ready to learn. Groups regularly make the short drive to the San Bernardino County Museum (2024 Orange Tree Ln, Redlands, CA 92374) for natural history exhibits, or head west to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (900 Exposition Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90007) for a full-day immersive science experience.
School groups visiting the Natural History Museum load and unload on Exposition Park Drive by the South Lawn, then buses park in the Green Lot off Hoover Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Charter-bus parking is $42 per vehicle, which isn't included in your free price quote. A school field trip bus rental makes it easy to plan group transportation between stops. Call 909-635-6335 to lock in your date!
