Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals

If you are looking for an educational experience that rocks—literally—the Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals is a must-visit destination. Located just north of the sunset highway, this Smithsonian-affiliated museum is housed in a historic ranch-style home listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It boasts the finest collection of crystals, minerals, fossils, and meteorites in the Pacific Northwest. It is a fantastic destination for school field trips, geology clubs, or senior tour groups looking for a quiet, fascinating afternoon. The museum grounds are spacious, making it a lovely spot for a picnic lunch after your tour.

Traveling here with a large group is made simple with a Hillsboro charter bus rental. The museum entrance can be easy to miss if you aren't paying attention, but your driver will handle the navigation for you. Instead of worrying about carpooling, your students or group members can watch educational videos on the onboard TV monitors while en route. We can arrange for a seamless drop-off right at the front entrance of the main ranch house so your group can dive straight into the exhibits without a long walk.

Ron Tonkin Field

Nothing screams summer fun in Hillsboro quite like a trip to Ron Tonkin Field to cheer on the Hillsboro Hops! As the High-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Hops provide high-energy entertainment for sports fans of all ages. The stadium is part of the larger Gordon Faber Recreation Complex and offers a fantastic view of the game from every seat. Group outings here are incredibly popular for corporate team-building events, family reunions, and youth sports teams celebrating the end of a season. The atmosphere is electric, the hot dogs are delicious, and the mascot, Barley, is a local celebrity.

Parking at major sporting venues can often be a headache, involving long walks and coordinated meet-up points that inevitably get confused. When you book a minibus or charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Hillsboro, we handle the logistics. Your driver can drop your group off near the stadium entrance, allowing you to head straight for the gates or set up a pre-game gathering. After the final inning (and hopefully a Hops win!), you won't have to fight the traffic leaving the complex; simply hop back on your climate-controlled bus and let your driver navigate the post-game rush back to your hotel or drop-off location.

For a modern, interactive group experience, Topgolf Hillsboro is the place to be. Located right off Highway 26, this massive entertainment complex features climate-controlled hitting bays, a full-service bar and restaurant, and a rooftop terrace with fire pits.

You don’t need to be a pro golfer to enjoy it; the point-scoring games are fun for all skill levels. It’s all about socializing, eating good food, and enjoying a little friendly competition.

Since alcohol is often part of the fun at Topgolf, having a designated driver is essential for safety.

Start the festivities early on the bus with your favorite playlist over the AUX/Bluetooth sound system and LED lighting. Your driver will drop you curbside for your tee time and be waiting whenever you are ready to wrap up the night.

With a charter bus rental, you have ample undercarriage storage for backpacks, binoculars, cameras, and rain gear (this is Oregon, after all!).

After a day of exploring the wetlands, your group will appreciate the comfort of a warm bus and reclining seats to rest their legs on the journey home.

A minibus rental is perfect for shuttling your gaming enthusiasts directly to the door. Keep the energy high on the way over by playing retro music or trivia games over the bus’s PA system. Because you can stay as long as you like, having a charter bus means you can set a flexible departure time that works for your group, ensuring everyone gets their fill of high scores before heading out.

Roloff Farms

Famous for being featured on the reality TV show "Little People, Big World," Roloff Farms has become a major tourist attraction in the Hillsboro area, particularly during the fall pumpkin season. Visitors flock here to pick pumpkins, navigate the corn maze, and take wagon tours of the property. It’s a fantastic destination for autumn field trips or family outings looking to get into the harvest spirit. Beyond the pumpkins, the farm offers a unique glimpse into the agricultural life of the Pacific Northwest combined with a touch of Hollywood fame.

During peak pumpkin season, traffic around Helvetia and the farm can get congested. By booking a charter bus rental, you alleviate the stress of navigating backroads and parking in overflow lots. Your driver can drop your group off near the entrance, allowing you to maximize your time enjoying the farm activities. Plus, with the ample storage on a full-size charter bus, there is plenty of room to bring home everyone's prize pumpkins without cluttering up the seats!
