Coordinating Multi-Stop Field Trip Routes Across Greater Los Angeles
On field trips with multiple stops, say, a morning at the Autry Museum of the American West (4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles, CA 90027) in Griffith Park followed by an afternoon at the LA Zoo (5333 Zoo Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90027) just a half-mile away, your bus rental keeps the group together as it travels between venues on your schedule. That kind of flexibility is nearly impossible to replicate with rideshares or personal vehicles, and it's one of the biggest reasons school groups choose private school field trip bus rentals. The LA Zoo lets groups enter the bus drop-off area at the time listed on their confirmation, and buses may move to the far north area of the parking lot after unloading.
Your group can return to the same bus after exploring. A live support team is available every single day of the year at 424-600-9760 to build your custom multi-stop itinerary!
