Whittier School Field Trip Charter Bus Rentals

For a field trip your students will talk about all year, the Aquarium of the Pacific (100 Aquarium Way, Long Beach, CA 90802) is one of the most popular destinations for Whittier-area schools, and for good reason! School group programs here require advance reservation through the education department at (562) 590-3100 — so lock in your bus at the same time you book your program slot. Bus drop-off is on Aquarium Way, and bus parking is in Lot 1 with an oversized vehicle rate that applies.

From Whittier, the Aquarium is roughly 20–25 miles via I-605 South — plan for 30–45 minutes depending on departure time. Morning departures heading south on I-605 are typically clear, making this an easy run for a full school day. Compare available minibuses and charter buses for your group size in seconds!

A field trip to Knott's Berry Farm (8039 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620) during Knott's Exclusive Education Days turns a theme park into a hands-on learning experience — and it's only about 15–20 miles from Whittier via I-605 South to SR-91 or Beach Blvd. School group programs here book 4–6 weeks in advance, and bus parking runs $40 per bus, with drop-off directed by the Traffic Department. Coming south on Beach Boulevard, your bus follows La Palma Avenue, Stanton Avenue, Crescent Avenue, then returns north on Beach Boulevard to the bus-lot entry ramp; buses parked in surrounding business lots or neighborhoods will be towed under Knott's Berry Farm's bus parking instructions. Pair it with a stop at Discovery Cube Orange County (2500 N Main St, Santa Ana, CA 92705) for a full day of STEM programming — buses pull forward to the Ticket Booth, unload, and are directed to offsite parking under the Discovery Cube Orange County field trip parking instructions.

A 56-passenger charter bus keeps every student on one vehicle for the whole day, with room for backpacks and supplies in the undercarriage bays. Get your quote in 30 seconds!

Browse available buses for a field trip to The Getty Center (1200 Getty Center Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90049) or Griffith Observatory (2800 E Observatory Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90027) — two of the most memorable destinations for Whittier-area students! At the Getty, buses use the designated drop-off area at the tram station, and bus parking in the Getty Center Lot is free for approved school group reservations. For school visits, your bus enters North Entry Parking from Sepulveda Boulevard at Getty Center Drive, where Getty Security directs it to the school-bus spaces; be ready to leave at least 15 minutes before the scheduled departure under the Getty Center school field trip transportation FAQ.

Advance school group reservations are required, so book your bus at the same time you reserve your program slot — spring dates fill fast. At Griffith Observatory, bus parking is available in the upper and lower lots, with planetarium shows requiring advance reservation. Both destinations are 30–40 miles from Whittier; plan 45–60 minutes each way on school-day mornings when I-605 North and SR-60 West back up.
