Group Transportation to the Getty Center, LA Museums, and Long-Distance Destinations
A full-size 56-passenger charter bus is the right call when your field trip is heading 35 to 45 miles up I-405 to Los Angeles.

At the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, buses use the designated loading zone on Exposition Park Drive near the South Lawn with parking in the Yellow or Pink Lots.
Reclining seats, onboard WiFi, and large undercarriage luggage bays make the 45-to-70-minute run easy for every student on board. Get online pricing in under 30 seconds — or call 657-365-4760 to build a custom package for your LA field trip!
For an approved K–12 school-group reservation at the Getty Center, bus parking is free.

At the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, your bus enters Exposition Park from Figueroa Street, continues along Exposition Park Drive to unload at the South Lawn, then reaches the Yellow or Pink Lots through the Hoover Street entrance off Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Discovery Cube Orange County directs school buses to the designated drop-off lane on North Main Street, with bus parking in the north lot (Lot C). Advance booking is required for school groups. Confirm current drop-off and parking arrangements on the Discovery Cube OC website or by contacting the venue directly before your visit, as assignments can shift by event and season.
Groups of 25 or more visiting the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve require advance permit coordination with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Buses drop off at the Warner Avenue parking lot entrance. There is no large bus parking on-site — charter buses typically stage in the adjacent Bolsa Chica State Beach parking lot while students are on the reserve.
Contact CDFW at (714) 846-1114 well before your field trip date to confirm permit requirements.
Book as early as possible — ideally six to eight weeks before your field trip date, and even earlier for spring trips. April and May are the busiest months across Orange County as prom season and end-of-year field trips compete for the same buses at the same time. Fall trips in September and October also fill quickly as the school year kicks off.
The earlier you compare and book, the more vehicle options and better pricing you will find through the network.
Yes! ADA-accessible buses are available through the network. When you fill out your quote request or call 657-365-4760, mention that you need an accessible vehicle and the number of passengers requiring accommodation.
The results will reflect operators in the network who can meet those needs. Major field trip destinations near Huntington Beach — including the Aquarium of the Pacific and Discovery Cube OC — are fully ADA-accessible, so your group will have a smooth experience from pickup to drop-off.
It depends on your student-and-chaperone headcount. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus works well for smaller classes or split groups heading to compact venues like Shipley Nature Center or the Huntington Beach Wetlands & Nature Center (21900 Pacific Coast Highway). A 56-passenger charter bus fits a full class with chaperones and comes with undercarriage luggage bays for backpacks, lunch bags, and equipment — ideal for longer runs to the Aquarium of the Pacific or the Getty Center.
