Charter Buses to the Sedgwick County Zoo and Exploration Place
The Sedgwick County Zoo (5555 W Zoo Blvd, Wichita, KS 67212) spans 246 acres and is one of the most popular field trip destinations in the Midwest — and groups of 15 or more receive discounted admission, so a full bus makes even more sense. Bus and group parking is available in the designated north lot off Zoo Boulevard. Just a few miles away, Exploration Place (300 N McLean Blvd, Wichita, KS 67203) sits right on the Arkansas River and offers hands-on science and technology exhibits with dedicated educator programming and group rates.
Bus drop-off is along McLean Boulevard. Parking confusion disappears at Exploration Place: the large circle drive in front of the main entrance handles student drop-off and pickup, while designated charter-bus spaces sit at the west end of the main lot; the parking gates open at 8 a.m. and close at 10 p.m. See the official Exploration Place parking and directions page for the complete arrival layout.
Your bus unloads at the door, moves to the bus spaces, and is ready when your class is done. A 56-passenger charter bus handles the whole class in one trip, with overhead storage for backpacks and lunches and room for every chaperone on the roster. Call 316-235-3822 to compare available buses for either destination!
Zoo admission is easy to budget when you reserve ahead: public and private school field trips receive a $7-per-person rate when reserved at least two weeks before the visit, while a walk-up field-trip visit is $9 per person; the details are on the Sedgwick County Zoo field trip page. Your bus gets the class there in one arrival, keeping students and chaperones together from the north lot to the zoo entrance.
Field Trip Buses to the Kansas Aviation Museum and Old Cowtown Museum
For quick and easy access to two of Wichita's most distinctive educational destinations, a charter bus rental makes all the difference! The Kansas Aviation Museum (3350 George Washington Blvd, Wichita, KS 67210) is housed in the historic Wichita Municipal Airport terminal and offers STEM-focused programming perfectly aligned with Kansas state standards — fitting for the city known as the Air Capital of the World. Bus parking is available on-site.
And at Old Cowtown Museum (1865 Museum Blvd, Wichita, KS 67203), students step into 1870s Wichita through living history exhibits, with bus drop-off near the main entrance on Museum Boulevard. Both venues recommend advance booking for school groups, so lock in your bus at the same time you lock in your reservation. Use the quote tool or call 316-235-3822 to get started!
Transportation to Botanica Wichita, the Wichita Art Museum, and the Museum of World Treasures

The Wichita Art Museum (1400 W Museum Blvd, Wichita, KS 67203) — the largest art museum in Kansas — offers free admission for K-12 students, with bus drop-off along Museum Boulevard and group tours available by advance arrangement.
And the Museum of World Treasures (835 E First St, Wichita, KS 67202) in Old Town brings dinosaur fossils, Egyptian mummies, and Civil War artifacts under one roof, with bus drop-off right on First Street. One bus, three incredible stops, and zero parking headaches for your chaperones!
