Lafayette Science Museum Charter Bus Rentals for Field Trips
Get a group of curious students to the Lafayette Science Museum (433 Jefferson St., Lafayette, LA 70501) without the headache of coordinating parent carpools or cramming everyone into a yellow school bus. Field trips at the museum run Wednesday through Friday between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm. Every field trip includes a planetarium show capped at 80 people per show, and a late arrival can cost a group its planetarium slot, so one bus that loads the whole class at school and arrives together beats a string of parent cars trickling in.
Reservations must be made at least two weeks in advance, so set your museum date first and then rent a 25-passenger minibus or full-size coach to match your headcount. Call 337-770-2850 to build your custom quote!
Lafayette Minibus Rentals for the Children's Museum of Acadiana
Moving a group of young learners through Lafayette traffic and into the Children's Museum of Acadiana (201 E. Congress St., Lafayette, LA 70501) is exactly the kind of trip where field trip transportation makes the biggest difference. The museum sits downtown between Parc Sans Souci and Parc International, and its complimentary parking lot is entered from Taylor Street, so mention the Taylor Street entrance when you request your quote for a 15- to 35-passenger minibus and skip circling downtown blocks. Plan your pickup before 5:00 PM, when the lot gates close and any vehicle left inside stays locked in until the museum next opens.
The Children's Museum's field trips run Tuesday through Friday, must be requested at least two weeks ahead, and require one chaperone for every eight students, so count those adults when you pick your bus size. Rent a minibus from a large network of Lafayette-area bus companies with one quick form and no account needed!
Lafayette Field Trip Transportation to Vermilionville
Charterbusrentallafayette.com helps schools rent buses for cultural heritage field trips to Vermilionville Living History Museum & Folklife Park (300 Fisher Rd., Lafayette, LA 70508), a living history museum covering Acadian, Native American and Creole cultures from 1765 to 1890. Vermilionville lists bus parking and a group discount among its amenities, so your charter bus has a place to park while students explore. A full-size charter bus rental gives your entire grade level a comfortable, climate-controlled ride to the park entrance on Fisher Road.
Make it a double stop at the Acadian Cultural Center (501 Fisher Road, Lafayette, LA 70508), the National Park Service's Acadian history museum on the same road, and one bus covers both visits in a single school day. Fill out one quick form to see pricing in under 30 seconds!
Lafayette Bus Rentals for LARC's Acadian Village Field Trips
Browse a large selection of minibuses and charter buses from a network of independent Lafayette-area operators when you're planning a field trip to LARC's Acadian Village (200 Greenleaf Drive, Lafayette, LA 70506), a preserved 19th-century village where students get a firsthand look at Acadian life. The village is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, and field trips carry a strict 7-day cancellation policy that charges the full tour cost, weather included, so it pays to lock in a bus for the same date and headcount. Acadian Village's guided group tours must be scheduled in advance, so set your tour time first and build the bus pickup around it.
A 25-passenger minibus works beautifully for smaller groups, while larger school cohorts can ride comfortably aboard a 56-passenger motorcoach. No account needed to compare!
Lafayette Shuttle Buses for UL Lafayette Campus Tours
Compare buses, packages, and pricing from a large network of independent transportation companies when your school group is planning a campus tour at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (104 E. University Circle, Lafayette, LA 70503). UL Lafayette is the second-largest university in Louisiana, and it sets up campus tours for school groups that pre-register. During the fall and spring semesters, weekday tours run Monday to Thursday at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. and Friday at 9 a.m., and each lasts about two hours with stops at Cypress Lake and the Quad.
UL Lafayette's charter bus rules send buses to drop-off-only stops on McKinley, Taft or Rex Street, then on to park at Cajun Field (2351 W Congress St., Lafayette, LA 70506) through Gate 3 off West Congress Street. A charter bus rental in Lafayette keeps your group together and off the parking nightmare that comes with bringing a fleet of personal vehicles onto a busy university campus.
