Ann Arbor Charter Buses to the U-M Museum of Natural History
Get online pricing in seconds for a field trip charter bus to one of Ann Arbor's most beloved educational destinations, the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History inside the Biological Sciences Building on North University Avenue. The Museum of Natural History recommends requesting group programs at least two months ahead and asks how your group is traveling when you schedule, so line up your charter bus as soon as the date is set. Nearby, U-M's Thayer Street structure (202 South Thayer) has a 6'6" clearance, too low for a charter bus, so one bus carrying the whole class beats a caravan of parent cars circling campus for spaces. Busrentalcompanyannarbor.com takes the guesswork out of finding a school field trip bus rental that fits your student count and your school's budget. Call 734-800-2440 to get your free quote!
Minibus Rentals in Ann Arbor for Hands-On Museum Field Trips
For quick and easy field trip transportation to one of downtown Ann Arbor's most interactive destinations, rent a bus to the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum. Buses unload right out front at the museum's designated bus loading zone, students stay on board until museum staff greet the group, and everyone walks in through the front entrance on East Ann Street. The museum has no on-site bus parking, so a charter bus moves to an off-site parking area after unloading, while minibuses can stop briefly to unload and then park in a nearby public structure or surface lot.
You can request a quote for groups of up to 150 students, and it's easy to set your return pickup time when you do. Busrentalcompanyannarbor.com connects your school with a 25-passenger minibus or full-size coach from a large network of Ann Arbor-area bus companies. Fill out one quick form to rent the right vehicle in no time, with no account needed!
Ann Arbor Field Trip Transportation to Matthaei Botanical Gardens
With one quick form, you can rent Ann Arbor field trip transportation to two of the area's most unique outdoor learning destinations. At Matthaei Botanical Gardens (1800 N Dixboro Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48105), buses drop students off at the main entrance, and guided school tours (Tuesday to Friday, 10 am to noon) get a free bus parking hang tag at the visitor services desk and park in the west lot. Matthaei's self-guided field trips need a $15 per bus, per day parking tag bought at the front desk, which isn't included in your free price quote.
About 5 miles away, the Leslie Science and Nature Center (1831 Traver Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48105) lets buses pull into the parking lot at the top of the hill to unload, and the bus can stay in the free on-site bus parking area for the whole visit (space is limited). Each booking there takes up to 75 students, so one or two buses can carry a full booking together. Busrentalcompanyannarbor.com works with a large network of independent bus companies so you can find the right vehicle for a multi-stop itinerary like this one. Call 734-800-2440 or get pricing online in under 30 seconds!
Ann Arbor Charter Buses for Michigan Theater Arts Field Trips

The Power Center for the Performing Arts (121 Fletcher St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109) has two main entrances, off Fletcher Street next to the parking structure and off East Huron Street, with ticket pick-up at the Fletcher Street entrance.
Riding together also skips the hunt for one of the 540 spaces in the nearby Liberty Square Parking Structure ($1.80 per hour, a cost that isn't included in your free price quote). Busrentalcompanyannarbor.com helps you find a compact minibus or a full-size coach from a network of local providers. Compare options instantly, with No waiting for callbacks to get pricing required!

Buses can drop off and pick up on campus, but plan on a drop-off and a return pickup rather than parking all day. Campus decks like the Thayer Street Parking Structure have a 6'6" clearance, too low for a charter bus. Buses heading to the University of Michigan Museum of Art (525 S State St) don't unload on State Street, so the drop-off is on South University Street.
Buses can't park at the drop-off during the one-hour K-12 tour, so the bus heads south on State Street to the Briarwood Mall lot and returns to the same South University spot for pickup, keeping the whole class together from start to finish.
Booking two to three months in advance is strongly recommended for Ann Arbor field trips, especially during peak seasons like fall harvest trips (September to October) and spring enrichment outings (April to May). Venues book up too, since the Museum of Natural History asks for group program requests at least two months ahead and the Hands-On Museum calls fall and spring its busiest seasons. Ann Arbor is a busy university city, and bus availability tightens fast around University of Michigan home football games, the Ann Arbor Art Fair (each July), and end-of-year school events.
The earlier you book, the better your vehicle selection and pricing will be!
It depends on your student count, chaperone ratio, and any equipment you need to bring. A 15-passenger minibus works well for small enrichment groups or after-school clubs. A 25-passenger minibus fits a typical classroom with chaperones.
For full-grade or multi-classroom trips, a 56-passenger charter bus provides the most space and comfort. Count chaperones in your passenger total, too, since self-guided trips at Matthaei Botanical Gardens need 1 adult for every 8 students. Compare all available sizes and amenities instantly using the Busrentalcompanyannarbor.com online quote tool, with no account needed!
