Field Trip Buses to SteelStacks and the National Museum of Industrial History
Get your class to one of Bethlehem's most powerful educational destinations without the parking headache! The National Museum of Industrial History (602 East Second Street, Bethlehem, PA 18015) sits inside the former Bethlehem Steel machine shop on the SteelStacks campus (101 Founders Way, Bethlehem, PA 18015) — a Smithsonian-affiliated museum with STEM-aligned exhibits on American steel, printing, and industry. The Ruins East Parking Lot off East Second Street, adjacent to the museum, is the field-trip parking area, with room for charter buses and motorcoaches to stage while your students explore.
Advance group reservations are required at the museum — call the venue directly at (610) 694-6644 to confirm your visit, and coordinate bus staging with ArtsQuest at (610) 332-1300. Then use Busrentalbethlehem.com to find and compare the right bus for your group in seconds!
Choosing the Right Bus for Bethlehem's Historic North Side Field Trips
Choosing the right vehicle matters more than most teachers expect when the destination is Bethlehem's North Side historic district! The streets around the Moravian Museum of Bethlehem (66 West Church Street, Bethlehem, PA 18018) — including West Church Street and Main Street — are narrow 18th-century corridors where a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach is a tight fit. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is the practical choice for drop-off close to the museum entrance, while larger coaches can stage on Broad Street nearby.
Through Busrentalbethlehem.com, you can compare minibuses and charter buses side by side and find exactly the right size for your group — so your students step off the bus steps from the door, not a long walk away. Advance group tour reservations are required; contact Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites at (610) 882-0450 before your visit. For a bus tour, allow at least one hour, and a Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites group tour can put a step-on guide on your bus while you provide the bus.
For Lehigh Valley Zoo Field Trips From Bethlehem Schools
For one of the Lehigh Valley's most popular school field trip destinations, the Lehigh Valley Zoo (5150 Game Preserve Road, Schnecksville, PA 18078) is about 20 to 25 minutes north of Bethlehem via PA-309 — and the zoo's large main parking lot off Game Preserve Road accommodates charter buses and motorcoaches with ease. For buses, use Mill Creek Road 1.8 miles before or after Game Preserve Road, continue 2.1 miles, turn onto Game Preserve Road, and follow the zoo road 1.2 miles to the parking lot; the Lehigh Valley Zoo bus directions keep buses off the cars-only approach. Your bus takes the truck-and-bus route instead of the 8-foot-2-inch car detour, so your class arrives at the zoo without a clearance surprise.
With more than 200 animals and educational programs for every grade level, it's a perennial favorite for Bethlehem Area School District classes and neighboring districts alike. School group rates and advance reservations are required; call the zoo at (610) 799-4171 to book your visit. Then use Busrentalbethlehem.com to compare the right bus size for your student and chaperone headcount — and lock in your transportation in under 30 seconds!
Because Crayola Experience and Easton Field Trips Need the Right Bus Plan
Because Easton's Centre Square is a historic public plaza — not a suburban parking lot — bus logistics for the Crayola Experience (30 Centre Square, Easton, PA 18042) take a little advance thought. Buses drop off on Northampton Street or Larry Holmes Drive adjacent to the square, then stage at the Northampton Street Parking Garage (220 Northampton St, Easton, PA 18042) or the Larry Holmes Drive lot while your elementary students explore 26 hands-on attractions inside. Field trips also have an exclusive bus drop-off and pickup area, so your class is not competing with ordinary downtown traffic; the Crayola Experience Easton field trip page spells out the bus access.
Your bus unloads the class in the dedicated area and returns there for pickup when your visit ends. The drive from Bethlehem is about 20 minutes east on US-22. School group rates and advance booking are required — contact Crayola Experience group sales directly to confirm your visit details. Busrentalbethlehem.com makes it easy to compare available minibuses and charter buses for the trip, so every student and chaperone travels together on one comfortable ride!
Browse a Large Selection of Field Trip Buses Serving the Da Vinci Science Center and Allentown
Browse a large selection of buses for the short 20-minute run west on US-22 to the Da Vinci Science Center (3145 Hamilton Boulevard Bypass, Allentown, PA 18103) — one of the Lehigh Valley's most-visited STEM field trip destinations! The Groups & Reserved Programs Entrance on West Court Street, between 8th and 9th Streets, handles bus drop-off and pickup, and the hands-on exhibits are aligned to Pennsylvania academic standards for science and math. There is no on-site bus parking at the Science Center, and buses may return 10 minutes before the scheduled departure time for pickup at the same location; the Da Vinci Science Center school field trip parking instructions cover the one-way bus lane.
Your bus unloads on West Court Street instead of Hamilton Street, skips the wait in an on-site lot, and comes back when your students are ready to leave. School group reservations are required; contact the Da Vinci Science Center group reservations team at (484) 664-1002 before your visit. Through Busrentalbethlehem.com, you can compare minibuses and full-size motorcoaches from a network of transportation companies serving Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley — and get pricing in under 30 seconds.
