Charter Buses to the Perot Museum, Dallas Zoo, and Dallas Arboretum
With so many incredible field trip destinations across Dallas, finding the right bus for each one matters! At the Dallas Zoo (650 S R.L. Thornton Fwy, Dallas, TX 75203), charter buses and school buses use the dedicated bus and RV parking area off Marsalis Avenue for free for school buses, with drop-off right at the main entrance — so your students walk straight in rather than crossing a busy parking lot. At the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden (8525 Garland Rd, Dallas, TX 75218), buses park in Lot C off Garland Road for $10 per bus, with drop-off at the Main Gate.
And at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, buses enter via River Street, use Lot A for student drop-off and pick-up, and exit via Broom Street. Through Charterbusservicesdallas.com, you can compare buses sized to your class from a network of independent operators serving every one of these destinations!
Perot Museum field trip requests should be submitted at least 30 days before your desired visit date, and the bus arrival instructions are included on the museum's Perot Museum field trip page.
Getting Your Class to Dealey Plaza and the Arts District Without the Parking Headache
Getting a full class to downtown Dallas destinations like The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza (411 Elm St, Dallas, TX 75202) or the Dallas Museum of Art (1717 N Harwood St, Dallas, TX 75201) is a lot smoother when you're not hunting for a parking spot big enough for a bus. The Sixth Floor Museum has no dedicated bus lot — buses drop off on Elm or Commerce Street adjacent to Dealey Plaza, with the nearest bus-accessible parking at the Elm & Record Parking Garage (400 Elm St). At the DMA, drop-off is on Harwood Street at the main entrance, with buses staging in the Arts District Garage (2100 Woodall Rodgers Fwy).
A charter bus from the Charterbusservicesdallas.com network handles every bit of that logistics puzzle, so you step off right at the door. Compare your options and get instant pricing in under 30 seconds!

With one quick form, you can find field trip transportation for schools across Dallas ISD, Plano ISD, Frisco ISD, Irving ISD, Garland ISD, Richardson ISD, Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, DeSoto ISD, Mesquite ISD, Grand Prairie ISD, and every other district in the DFW area. Dallas ISD alone serves more than 145,000 students across 230+ schools — and field trip season runs hot from September through November and again from February through April. That means the buses your class needs are in demand across the whole Metroplex at the same time. Charterbusservicesdallas.com brings together a large network of bus companies so you can compare more options than any single operator offers, and find what fits your headcount and your date.
Book early for spring trips — the Dallas Zoo and Dallas Arboretum fill up fast between March and May!
Finding Group Transportation for the State Fair of Texas and Peak Field Trip Season
Finding group transportation during the State Fair of Texas at Fair Park (3809 Grand Ave, Dallas, TX 75210) takes a little extra planning. The Fair runs late September through mid-October every year, and during that stretch, I-30 near Fair Park backs up significantly — buses should plan alternate routes via I-35E or US-75 to avoid the worst of the congestion. Because Charterbusservicesdallas.com pulls from a large network of independently owned bus companies serving Dallas, you're not limited to whatever one company has left on the calendar when Fair season hits.
You can compare available vehicles, sizes, and pricing from multiple operators in one place, and find a bus that fits your class even during the busiest weeks of the Dallas field trip calendar. Call 469-283-0760 to lock in your date!
The 2026 State Fair of Texas runs from September 25 through October 18, so buses for late-September and October field trips need to be secured before Fair Park's busiest weeks arrive.
