A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden
No trip to Evansville is complete without a visit to the Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden. As one of the oldest and largest zoos in the state, it creates an immersive experience that transports visitors around the globe without ever leaving Indiana. Your group can explore the expansive Amazonia exhibit, a climate-controlled rainforest conservatory that is home to jaguars, monkeys, and exotic birds, making it a perfect destination year-round, regardless of the weather. The zoo spans 45 acres and houses hundreds of animals, providing endless educational opportunities for school groups and plenty of fun for families.
When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Evansville, visiting the zoo becomes a breeze. School buses and large groups often face challenges with drop-off logistics, but the drivers know exactly where to go. We can drop your group off right at the main entrance so you can head straight for the penguins or the petting zoo, while your driver handles parking in the designated oversized vehicle lot. After a long day of walking the hilly paths and exploring the botanic gardens, your group will be relieved to step onto a climate-controlled bus with plush reclining seats to rest on the way home.
Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden 1545 Mesker Park Dr, Evansville, IN 47720
USS LST Ship Memorial
For history buffs, veteran groups, and educational tours, the USS LST-325 Ship Memorial is a must-see destination. This operational LST (Landing Ship, Tank) served in World War II, including the D-Day operations, and is now permanently docked in Evansville, which was a major hub for LST manufacturing during the war. Touring this vessel gives your group a tangible connection to the past, allowing you to walk the same decks as the brave sailors of the greatest generation. It is a powerful experience that resonates with visitors of all ages, offering a unique glimpse into naval history and Evansville's critical contribution to the war effort.
Parking downtown near the riverfront can be tight, especially when there are festivals or events happening at the nearby plaza. By booking a charter bus rental, you avoid the hassle of finding multiple parking spots for personal vehicles. Your driver can drop your group curbside for your guided tour and wait nearby. If you are planning a multi-stop historical tour of the city, your bus can easily transport you from the riverfront to other historical markers in the area, keeping your itinerary tight and your group together. Ask about buses with PA systems so your tour guide or teacher can provide historical context as you drive through the city.

Bosse Field
Step back in time at historic Bosse Field, the third-oldest ballpark still in regular use for professional baseball in the United States, surpassed only by Fenway Park and Wrigley Field. Home to the Evansville Otters of the Frontier League, Bosse Field offers a nostalgic baseball experience that you simply cannot get at modern mega-stadiums. It gained Hollywood fame as the filming location for the movie "A League of Their Own," and it retains that classic 1940s charm today. It is the perfect destination for summer camp outings, corporate employee appreciation nights, or just a group of friends looking to enjoy America’s pastime.
Getting a large group to a game can be chaotic if everyone drives separately. With a private bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Evansville, the fun starts before you even reach the stadium. There is ample room in the undercarriage storage bays for tailgating gear, coolers, and banners. Your group can travel together, build camaraderie on the ride over, and enjoy a few drinks at the game without worrying about appointing designated drivers. Your driver will ensure everyone gets back home after the final out.

Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Science
Located beautifully along the Ohio River, the Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Science is a cultural gem in Southern Indiana. This general museum offers a little bit of everything, making it an ideal stop for diverse groups with varying interests. From fine art galleries and historical artifacts related to the region's past to the immersive Koch Immersive Theater and Planetarium, there is plenty to engage students and adults alike. It is a sophisticated venue that also hosts private events, making it a popular choice for wedding receptions and corporate galas.
If you are planning a black-tie event or a private group tour at the museum, arrive in style with a premium charter bus rental. We can provide a sleek, modern motorcoach with leather seating and WiFi to shuttle your VIPs or wedding guests from their hotels directly to the museum entrance. For school field trips, our buses ensure that all students stay accounted for and safe during the transit. Once you’ve finished exploring the exhibits, your bus will be waiting to take you to your next stop, perhaps a group dinner at a nearby riverfront restaurant.
Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Science 411 SE Riverside Dr, Evansville, IN 47713
Ford Center
The Ford Center is the heartbeat of downtown Evansville’s entertainment district. This 11,000-seat arena is the home of the Evansville Thunderbolts hockey team and the University of Evansville Purple Aces basketball teams. It also serves as the region's premier venue for major concerts, monster truck shows, and conventions. Whether you are taking a youth sports team to see the pros play or organizing a large group of friends to see a headlining country music star, the Ford Center is the place to be.
Traffic around the Ford Center on event nights can be gridlocked, and parking prices in nearby garages can add up quickly for a large caravan of cars. A charter bus rental simplifies the entire process. Your driver can drop your group off within walking distance of the arena entrance and handle the parking logistics while you head inside to find your seats. After the event, you won’t have to fight the traffic exiting the garages; simply hop on your warm (or cool) bus and relax. We can even organize a shuttle service for conventions utilizing the Ford Center and the nearby Old National Events Plaza.
Ford Center 1 SE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Evansville, IN 47708
Children's Museum of Evansville (cMoe)
For groups traveling with younger children, the Children's Museum of Evansville (cMoe) offers an engaging, hands-on environment that sparks curiosity and creativity. Located in a historic Art Deco building downtown, cMoe features exhibits ranging from a water play area to a theater and a climbing structure known as "Moe." It is a top destination for elementary school field trips, scout troops, and daycare outings. The interactive nature of the museum ensures that kids burn off plenty of energy while learning through play.
Transporting a large group of excited children requires safety and organization. Charter Bus Rental Company Evansville provides buses equipped with seatbelts (upon request) and entertainment systems to keep the kids occupied during the drive. DVD players and flat-screen monitors allow you to play educational videos or cartoons while en route. The drivers have the skill to navigate the downtown streets around 5th Street and Locust Street, ensuring a comfortable curb-side drop-off so that teachers and chaperones can focus on keeping the kids organized rather than watching for traffic.
