A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Official Simpsons Mural
For pop culture enthusiasts, a pilgrimage to Springfield isn't complete without visiting the Official Simpsons Mural. Located on the side of the Emerald Art Center in downtown Springfield, this vibrant piece of art was unveiled by The Simpsons creator Matt Groening himself, officially cementing the town's connection to the iconic animated series. The mural features Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie frolicking in a landscape that looks suspiciously like the local scenery.
Visiting with a charter bus is the most convenient way to see this landmark. Downtown Springfield has undergone a revitalization, but parking for multiple cars can still be tricky during peak hours. Your bus driver can drop your group off right on Main Street, allowing you to snap photos with the mural and explore the surrounding block, which is dotted with other murals and sculptures as part of the local art walk. Afterward, the bus can pick you up nearby to head to your next destination, perhaps a donut shop to channel your inner Homer.
Address: 500 Main St, Springfield, OR 97477
Dorris Ranch
Step back in time at Dorris Ranch, a living history farm that holds the title of the oldest commercial hazelnut orchard in the United States. This 258-acre park is a fantastic destination for educational field trips, wedding parties, and nature lovers. The property features historic filbert orchards, a living history village, and miles of walking trails that wind through forests and along the riverbank.
For groups, Dorris Ranch offers a serene escape. A charter bus rental makes accessing this expansive property easy, as the entrance is tucked away from the main roads. We can transport your school group for a guided tour about Oregon's agricultural history or shuttle wedding guests to the beautiful barn venue on-site. The wide-open spaces are perfect for group picnics, and having a bus means you can bring along all the coolers, games, and gear you need without cramming them into a sedan trunk.
Address: 205 Dorris St, Springfield, OR 97477
Springfield Museum
Located in a historic power station building, the Springfield Museum is a treasure trove of local lore. It provides a deep dive into the region's history, from the Kalapuya people to the timber industry that built the town. The museum is compact but packed with artifacts, photographs, and rotating exhibits that tell the story of the Willamette Valley.
This is an excellent stop for senior tour groups or educational charters. Because the museum is located downtown near other attractions, your bus driver can drop you off for a morning of history before taking you to a nearby restaurant for lunch. The museum staff is welcoming to groups, but calling ahead is recommended to ensure the best experience. With a charter bus, you avoid the stress of finding metered parking and ensure everyone arrives together for the guided tour.
Address: 590 Main St, Springfield, OR 97477
Willamalane Park Swim Center
If your group is looking to make a splash, the Willamalane Park Swim Center is the place to be. This aquatic facility is a favorite for youth groups, sports teams, and summer camps. It features an 8-lane lap pool, a warm-water pool, a deep-water diving tank, and a giant water slide that is a hit with kids and adults alike.
Transporting a swim team or a large group of energetic kids requires logistics that only a charter bus can handle efficiently. Wet towels, swim bags, and tired swimmers are much easier to manage on a spacious bus than in a convoy of parent driven cars. We can drop your group at the front entrance and wait in the designated lot until everyone is dried off and ready to head home or to a post-swim pizza party.
Address: 1276 G St, Springfield, OR 97477
Island Park
Island Park is one of Springfield's premier outdoor gathering spots. Situated along the banks of the Willamette River, this park offers a beautiful setting for family reunions, corporate picnics, and community festivals. It features playgrounds, picnic shelters, and a stage that often hosts concerts and events during the summer months.
When hosting a large event at Island Park, parking is often the biggest logistical hurdle. By renting a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Springfield, you can shuttle your attendees from a central location or hotel directly to the park. This is especially helpful during popular events like the Springfield Light of Liberty celebration. Your driver can navigate the riverside roads and ensure safe loading and unloading away from the busy traffic, making the day stress-free for organizers and guests alike.
Address: 200 W B St, Springfield, OR 97477
Thurston Hills Natural Area
For groups that crave adventure and fresh air, Thurston Hills Natural Area offers some of the best hiking and mountain biking in the region. With over 665 acres of diverse terrain, including oak savannas and lush forests, the trails here offer stunning views of the Cascades and the Willamette Valley. It is a perfect destination for scout troops, hiking clubs, or corporate team-building retreats focused on wellness.
The trailhead parking lot can fill up quickly on weekends, making a charter bus an excellent option for larger groups. We can drop your hikers off right at the start of the trail system and return to pick them up after they have conquered the summit. Our buses have ample undercarriage storage, meaning you can bring hiking poles, backpacks, and even mountain bikes (upon request) without cluttering the seating area.
Address: 7575 McKenzie Hwy, Springfield, OR 97478
Shoppes at Gateway
Sometimes, a group trip just needs a little retail therapy. The Shoppes at Gateway offers a mix of big-box retailers, a movie theater, and various dining options. It is a convenient stop for tour groups passing through the area or student groups looking for an evening of entertainment.
Charter buses are well-accommodated here, with plenty of space for large vehicles. Whether you are dropping teenagers off for a movie while the adults dine nearby or taking a shopping break during a multi-day tour, the drivers know exactly where to stage for easy access to the mall entrances. It serves as a great central hub for a relaxed afternoon in Springfield.
Address: 3000 Gateway St, Springfield, OR 97477
Splash! at Lively Park
Another fantastic aquatic destination, Splash! at Lively Park is an indoor water park that guarantees fun regardless of the Oregon weather. With a wave pool, water slides, a lap pool, and a kiddie play area, it is an ideal destination for birthday parties, school celebrations, and youth groups. The facility is designed for all ages, making it a versatile option for mixed groups.
Coordinate a bus rental to Splash! to keep the energy high and the logistics low. We can transport your group from school, church, or a community center directly to the water park. After hours of swimming, no one wants to drive; let the drivers handle the commute while your group relaxes in reclining seats, enjoying the onboard climate control.
Address: 6100 Thurston Rd, Springfield, OR 97478
