The Easiest Way to Compare Buses for School Event Transportation
The right bus for a field trip depends on your headcount, your destination, and how far you are traveling — and through Atlantacoachbuscompany.com, you can compare every option in one place! A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is a great fit for smaller enrichment groups heading across town to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights (100 Ivan Allen Jr Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30313) or the World of Coca-Cola (121 Baker Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30313). A 56-passenger charter bus gives a full class plenty of room for the longer haul out to Tellus Science Museum (100 Tellus Drive, Cartersville, GA 30120), about 45 miles northwest on I-75.

Get Your Class to the Georgia Aquarium Without the Parking Headache
Browse a large selection of minibuses and charter buses for your next Georgia Aquarium (225 Baker Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30313) field trip — and skip the single most stressful part of the whole day! Just know that Georgia Aquarium bus parking must be reserved in advance through Group Sales, with passes running $70 to $180 on peak dates and selling out on event days — spring field trip season from March through May is the busiest stretch of the year. Your bus drops students steps from the main entrance on Luckie Street NW, then heads about a half mile to the Georgia World Congress Center Marshalling Yard (362 Ivan Allen Jr Blvd NW) to park.
Bus parking remains first-come, first-served and may be unavailable when a special event fills the yard, so reserve your space before field trip day. Book your bus early and confirm your parking pass at the same time, and that piece of the day is completely handled!
Charter Buses to Fernbank, Zoo Atlanta, and the Atlanta History Center
With Atlantacoachbuscompany.com, securing field trip transportation to Atlanta's most popular cultural destinations is quick and easy! At Fernbank Museum of Natural History (767 Clifton Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30307), buses drop off at the main entrance on Clifton Road NE, with limited oversized-vehicle spaces in the museum lot — advance coordination with Group Sales at (404) 929-6320 is required, so mention your visit date when you request your quote. Heading to Zoo Atlanta (800 Cherokee Avenue SE, Atlanta, GA 30315)?
Buses drop off at the main entrance on Cherokee Avenue SE, with offsite bus parking available. Your bus uses the Cherokee Avenue parking-lot turnaround for drop-off, skips the City of Atlanta public lots on Cherokee Avenue and Boulevard, and parks at the Georgia State University Purple Lot at 838 Group Street for $25.35 per day through ParkMobile lot 63659. The alternate is the Marshalling Yard at 362 Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard for $28.25 per day with access code zooatlbus; the full Zoo Atlanta bus-parking directions keep both options in one place.
And at the Atlanta History Center (130 West Paces Ferry Road NW, Atlanta, GA 30305), bus parking is coordinated through Group Sales at (404) 814-4041. School-tour buses park between the parking deck and the roundabout, and guided school tours have a staff member available to assist when you arrive; the Atlanta History Center school-tour arrival packet maps the bus area. Compare buses and find the right fit for every destination!
Take Your Group to Kennesaw Mountain or Tellus Science Museum
It's easier than you think to arrange transportation for out-of-town field trips across the Atlanta metro! Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park (900 Kennesaw Mountain Drive, Kennesaw, GA 30152) is a favorite for Georgia history units — buses use the main visitor center parking area off Kennesaw Mountain Drive, and the NPS lot accommodates charter buses without an advance parking permit for standard field trips. The visitor center lot has four designated bus spaces at 900 Kennesaw Mountain Drive; it opens at 6:30 a.m. and closes at 8 p.m. during daylight-saving time, so your bus gets a clearly named place to unload and stay near the museum.
The Kennesaw Mountain parking-lots page shows the bus-space count and seasonal lot hours. For science and STEM groups, Tellus Science Museum is about 45 miles northwest on I-75 and offers some of the easiest large-group bus access in the region, with ample on-site parking at the main entrance. Tellus places its outdoor picnic pavilion at the bus parking area, and field-trip groups leave lunches on the bus; arrive 30 minutes before the program to check in.
Your bus keeps lunches with it while you get students settled for the 2-hour program, with the Tellus field-trip parking and lunch instructions covering the arrival sequence. Atlantacoachbuscompany.com helps you compare full-size motorcoaches with reclining seats, overhead storage, and undercarriage luggage bays for every mile of the trip!
Keep Every Student Together on the Downtown Connector and Beyond
Coordinating a caravan of parent cars through Atlanta traffic is a logistical nightmare — especially on I-75 and I-85 through the Downtown Connector, where morning school-hour congestion can easily add 20 to 30 minutes to any trip. According to the INRIX 2025 Global Traffic Scorecard, Atlanta drivers lose 71 hours a year to congestion — that is nearly two full work weeks. One charter bus keeps every student and every chaperone on the same vehicle, on the same schedule, arriving together at the same door.
No staggered arrivals. No students waiting at the curb while the last car parks. A 56-passenger motorcoach handles a full class load with overhead storage for backpacks and lunches, undercarriage bays for equipment, and enough room that nobody is squeezed into a middle seat for the whole ride!
Field Trips to the Children's Museum, Piedmont Park, and the State Capitol
You can count on Atlantacoachbuscompany.com to help you find the right bus for every Atlanta field trip destination, no matter the size of your group or the type of trip! At the Children's Museum of Atlanta (275 Centennial Olympic Park Drive NW, Atlanta, GA 30313), buses drop off on Centennial Olympic Park Drive NW, with staging available in nearby Georgia World Congress Center parking areas. Piedmont Park (400 Park Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30306) groups use the Park Drive or 10th Street entrance for drop-off, with buses staging along Monroe Drive NE.
And for civics field trips to the Georgia State Capitol (206 Washington Street SW, Atlanta, GA 30334), buses drop off on Washington Street SW or Mitchell Street SW — just contact Capitol Tours at (404) 463-4536 in advance for large groups. Compare buses and find what you need in seconds!
