More About School Buses
Keeping your group together, on schedule, and comfortable is exactly what a school bus rental in Lakeland is built to do. Through the network, you'll find Type A mini and Type B small school buses that seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, a smart fit for smaller classroom groups, youth club outings, or compact field trip rosters heading to Florida Children’s Museum (600 Bonnet Springs Blvd., Lakeland, FL 33815). The museum’s school field trips run Tuesday through Friday from September through May and accommodate up to 150 guests, so groups can plan their bus size around the number of students and chaperones attending.
Need to move a larger crowd? Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving full-sized groups plenty of room for a comfortable ride across Polk County and beyond. Lakelandcharterbus.com is not a bus company, so you're never locked into a single fleet!
For group or event parking at Florida Polytechnic University (4700 Research Way, Lakeland, FL 33805), the university directs organizers to its Parking Office at 863-874-8440. A school bus rental keeps your class together for the campus visit.
At Hollis Garden (614 E. Orange Street, Lakeland, FL 33801), Monday visits aren't an option because the garden is closed that day. A school bus rental keeps your youth group together for a visit on an open day.
