Charter Buses to the California Science Center & Natural History Museum
Give your students an unforgettable day at two of LA's most celebrated educational destinations — and let the bus handle the I-605 and I-10 traffic both ways! The California Science Center (700 Exposition Park Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90037) and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (900 Exposition Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90007) (900 Exposition Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90037) sit within walking distance of each other in Exposition Park, making them a natural double-stop for a full school day. Charter buses drop off along Exposition Park Dr near the Science Center entrance, with bus parking available in Lot B accessed via Figueroa St. Groups of 15 or more qualify for group rates at both venues — book your bus early, especially in spring when LA County school groups all head to Exposition Park at once!
For the Natural History Museum stop, your bus enters Exposition Park off Figueroa St., unloads at South Lawn on Exposition Park Dr., then parks in the Pink or Yellow Lot through the Hoover St. entrance off Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard; pickup returns to Exposition Park Dr. near South Lawn. Your bus handles the parking move while students head inside, and the Natural History Museum field trip parking and drop-off map shows the exact route.
School Buses and Minibuses to Knott's Berry Farm & Disneyland
It doesn't get more exciting for a class than a field trip to Knott's Berry Farm (8039 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620) or Disneyland Resort (1313 S Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, CA 92802) — and from Whittier, both are under 20 miles away! Knott's is a quick run southeast on CA-72 to Beach Blvd, where charter buses use the dedicated motorcoach lot accessed via La Palma Ave on the park's north side. Disneyland groups head to the Toy Story parking area (1150 Magic Way, Anaheim, CA 92802), the designated motorcoach lot for the resort.
April and May are the absolute busiest weeks for theme park field trips across LA County, so the earlier you lock in your bus, the better your vehicle selection and pricing. Book 4–8 weeks out to be safe!
Toy Story is the only Disneyland Resort parking area with bus parking: the posted rate is $50 per bus, and complimentary resort buses carry visitors from the lot to the Main Entrance Esplanade. Your charter bus uses the resort's designated oversized-vehicle lot, and overnight parking is not available; see the Disneyland Resort parking guide for the current bus rate and transfer details.
Minibus Rentals to the Getty Center & Griffith Observatory
Through Whittiercharterbusservices.com, arranging a bus to two of LA's most iconic cultural landmarks is fast and easy! The Getty Center (1200 Getty Center Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90049) requires advance group reservations for parties of 15 or more — charter buses and school buses park in the South Parking Structure (P2 level) and use the dedicated bus drop-off lane on Getty Center Dr. Up in Griffith Park, Griffith Observatory does not accommodate full-size motorcoaches at the summit lot, so groups use the LADOT Griffith Park Shuttle from the Vermont/Sunset or Crystal Springs staging areas. A 25- to 35-passenger minibus navigates both venues with far more flexibility than a full-size coach — compare your options in seconds through the quote tool!
The Getty Center makes the big-bus choice simple: a group reservation reserves parking for oversized vehicles or lets the bus drop everyone onsite, while Sepulveda Boulevard is not a loading or unloading street. Your bus uses the reserved Getty access instead of sending students across a curbside scramble; see the Getty Center group-visit page for the reservation and access rules.
Whittiercharterbusservices.com Can Help You Find Local Whittier Field Trip Buses, Too!
Whittiercharterbusservices.com can help you find transportation for the field trips that don't require a long freeway run! Whittier and its immediate neighbors are home to some genuinely great educational stops. Pío Pico State Historic Park (6003 Pioneer Blvd, Whittier, CA 90606) is just a few miles from most Whittier schools and brings California history to life as the former home of the state's last Mexican governor.
The Whittier Narrows Nature Center is an LA County Parks facility about 8 miles northwest with ample bus parking on Durfee Ave — a perfect fit for science and nature units. And the La Habra Children's Museum, just 7 miles northeast, is one of the best close-range options for elementary groups. Find the right bus for any of them through one quick form!
Pío Pico is a book-early local stop: school field trip reservations are required at least one month ahead, and approved K-12 schools may have parking fees waived. Your bus keeps the local day simple while you plan around the park's required 1:10 chaperone ratio; see the Pío Pico State Historic Park field-trip page for the current school-group rules.
Field Trip Buses for Aquarium of the Pacific Group Visits
For Whittier schools looking for a full-day science experience, the Aquarium of the Pacific is one of the best options in the region — and the ~22-mile run south on I-605 is straightforward for a charter bus. The aquarium's own directions page notes that buses should enter from Shoreline Dr and use the designated bus lane on Aquarium Way for drop-off; bus parking is available in the aquarium's parking structure at a flat rate. Groups of 15 or more qualify for discounted admission, and the aquarium recommends advance booking for school groups.
A 35- to 56-passenger charter bus keeps the whole class together from Whittier to Long Beach and back — compare available buses and pricing in under 30 seconds through Whittiercharterbusservices.com!

Charter buses drop off along Exposition Park Dr near the California Science Center's main entrance, with bus parking available in Lot B, accessed via Figueroa St. The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (900 Exposition Blvd) is within walking distance in the same Exposition Park complex, making it easy to visit both on one trip. Confirm current parking details on the California Science Center directions and parking page before your visit.
For most field trips, booking 3–6 weeks in advance is a solid target. For spring trips in April and May — the busiest field trip season in LA County — book 6–8 weeks out. Destinations like Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, and the California Science Center draw school groups from across the region on the same dates, so the vehicle pool tightens fast.
The earlier you compare and book, the better your options and pricing!

Most Whittier City School District elementary field trips run 20–35 students plus chaperones, making a 25-passenger minibus or a 35-passenger minibus the most common fit. California Title 5 regulations require one adult chaperone per 10 students, so factor your chaperone count into the total headcount when you request your quote. If your group is larger, a full 56-passenger motorcoach keeps everyone together on one vehicle.
