Charter Buses to the California Science Center and Exposition Park
With Busrentalredlands.com, renting a charter bus to California Science Center (700 Exposition Park Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90037) from Redlands is one of the most popular field trip runs in the Inland Empire — and one of the easiest to plan! The drive west on I-10 runs about 65–75 miles, so plan for 60–70 minutes off-peak and up to 90–120 minutes during morning rush. Buses unload on the Figueroa Street side of Exposition Park, with parking available in the Exposition Park lots.
Right next door, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (900 Exposition Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90007) offers outstanding school programs too — and buses can stage in Lot 11 off Figueroa Street for groups visiting both museums in one trip. Compare charter buses and pricing in seconds using the online quote tool!
School groups can arrange group or bus parking through the California Science Center field trip and group parking instructions at 213-744-2019, and the final student headcount is due seven days before the visit. Your bus gets the parking detail handled with the school reservation instead of leaving your class to hunt for space when you arrive.
Field Trip Buses to Joshua Tree National Park and Big Bear
Whatever outdoor science or environmental education program your class has planned, Busrentalredlands.com makes finding the right bus fast and easy! Joshua Tree National Park (Oasis Visitor Center: 74485 National Park Dr, Twentynine Palms, CA 92277) sits roughly 45–55 miles east of Redlands via I-10 to SR-62 — a straightforward drive that is one of the best geology and desert ecology field trips in Southern California. For mountain programs, the Big Bear Discovery Center (40971 North Shore Drive, Fawnskin, CA 92333) is about 40 miles northeast via SR-38.
Note that SR-38 is a mountain route where chain controls can apply October through April — check Caltrans QuickMap before departure and build extra time into your schedule. Compare buses for both routes right here!
For ranger-led school programs during the 2026–2027 school year, Joshua Tree National Park begins accepting field trip requests on September 9, 2026, and most program locations accommodate one bus carrying two classes. A charter bus keeps your students together for the park's roughly three-hour total program window, including travel to the site and lunch; see the Joshua Tree National Park field trip planning page for the current request details.
Easy Transportation to the San Bernardino County Museum Right in Redlands
With Busrentalredlands.com, you get field trip transportation to one of the best destinations in the entire region — and it is right here in Redlands! The San Bernardino County Museum (2024 Orange Tree Lane, Redlands, CA 92374) is a full natural history, science, and cultural museum with dedicated bus-accessible parking in its on-site lot off Orange Tree Lane. For Redlands Unified School District schools, this is one of the shortest field trip runs you'll plan all year, which means more time exploring exhibits and less time in transit.
A 15-passenger minibus works perfectly for smaller groups, while a 25-passenger minibus handles a full classroom with room for chaperones. Compare your options and get pricing in under 30 seconds using the online tool or call 909-328-4270!
Your bus reaches the museum from I-10 at the California Street exit, turns north, then right onto Orange Tree Lane and left into the museum parking lot; parking is free and the campus is open Tuesday through Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The San Bernardino County Museum directions and visitor information make this short Redlands run especially easy for a full-size charter bus.
School field trips at the Redlands museum run Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and the visit is designed to last two to four hours. During the busiest field trip season, March through June, dates often fill a month or more ahead, so your bus is ready when your museum time arrives; the San Bernardino County Museum field trip teachers guide includes the scheduling window.
Charter Buses to Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, and Orange County
Make your next end-of-year field trip or reward trip one students will never forget! Redlands is ideally situated for a charter bus run southwest to Orange County — Disneyland Resort (1313 Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, CA 92802) is roughly 55–65 miles via I-10 to SR-91 or I-5, and Knott's Berry Farm (8039 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620) is in the same corridor. At Disneyland, charter buses arrive at the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) bus lot, and the monorail or ferry takes your group to the park entrance — bus parking runs approximately $40–$50 per day and must be reserved in advance.
At Knott's, bus parking is in the main lot with advance coordination through group sales. Spring field trip season fills up fast across the Inland Empire, so book 6–8 weeks out to lock in your date and your bus!
Knott's buses cannot drop students at the Main Gate; after following the bus approach through La Palma Avenue, Stanton Avenue, Crescent Avenue, and Beach Boulevard, the bus enters the main parking area and pays the published $23 per-bus parking cost upon arrival. Your bus unloads where the park's traffic team directs it, avoids the surrounding business lots and neighborhood tow zones, and keeps the class out of the main-gate traffic scramble; see the Knott's Berry Farm youth group bus parking instructions.
Aquarium of the Pacific and Long Beach Field Trip Bus Rentals
Planning a marine science or ocean ecology field trip from Redlands? The Aquarium of the Pacific (100 Aquarium Way, Long Beach, CA 90802) is approximately 65 miles west via I-10 and runs outstanding school programs for every grade level. Buses drop off along Aquarium Way at the main entrance, with parking in the adjacent parking structure — advance reservations for school groups are strongly recommended.
A 56-passenger charter bus with overhead storage, reclining seats, and onboard WiFi makes the westbound I-10 run comfortable for students and chaperones alike. The Discovery Cube Orange County (2500 N Main St, Santa Ana, CA 92705), about 55 miles southwest, is another excellent STEM destination in the same direction.

For most local trips — like the San Bernardino County Museum right here in Redlands — two to three weeks is usually enough. For spring field trips to Disneyland, the California Science Center, or Joshua Tree, book six to eight weeks out. Spring (March through May) is the single busiest field trip season across the Inland Empire, and buses fill up fast.
The earlier you book, the more vehicle options you'll have and the better your pricing.
It depends on your headcount. A 15-passenger minibus works well for small enrichment groups or after-school programs. A 25-passenger minibus handles a single classroom with chaperones.
A 56-passenger charter bus is the right call when you're moving two classrooms or a full grade level together. Through Busrentalredlands.com, you can compare all of these side by side — with photos and pricing — so you match the bus to your actual headcount instead of the other way around.
Yes — SR-38 (the Rim of the World Scenic Byway) is accessible to charter buses, and it is the most direct route from Redlands to the Big Bear Discovery Center and Big Bear Lake. That said, SR-38 is a mountain road and chain controls can apply from October through April. Always check Caltrans QuickMap before your departure date and build extra buffer time into your schedule for mountain driving.
Mention the SR-38 route when you request your quote so the network can match you with operators familiar with the corridor.
Absolutely! Joshua Tree is one of the most popular outdoor science and geology field trip destinations for Inland Empire schools, and it's only about 45–55 miles east of Redlands via I-10 to SR-62. The main hub for school groups is the Oasis Visitor Center (74485 National Park Dr, Twentynine Palms, CA 92277).
Standard charter buses travel the park's paved roads without special permits, and America the Beautiful and Every Kid Outdoors passes are accepted at the entrance. Fill out the quote form with your date and group size to see available buses and pricing in seconds!
Yes — and it is worth planning ahead. Buses visiting the California Science Center or the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County in Exposition Park unload on the Figueroa Street side of the campus. Bus parking is available in Exposition Park lots, with Lot 11 (off Figueroa Street) commonly used for school groups visiting the Natural History Museum.
Confirm your specific parking assignment with the venue's group programs office when you finalize your school reservation. Mention your Exposition Park destination when you request your quote through Busrentalredlands.com so the trip details are accounted for from the start.
