One Quick Form for School Event Transportation Pricing From a Network of Bus Companies
The way Charterbusservicessaltlakecity.com works is simple, and it's built entirely around giving you more options than any single bus company ever could. This is not a local transportation company. It's a quote-comparison and referral website — which means you're not limited to whatever one operator happens to have parked on their lot.
You fill out one quick form with your date, group size, and pickup location, and you're taken to a results page showing vehicles, photos, and pricing from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Salt Lake City and the surrounding area. From there, you compare, choose, and book right online in minutes. Transportation is provided by independent operators, and booking is completed through a national booking platform — so you get more choices, more price points, and a much easier path from "we need a bus" to "bus is booked."

See Different Buses, Pictures, and Packages for Your School Event Transportation
We know that no two field trips look the same — and that's exactly why having a large network of bus companies behind you matters. A kindergarten class heading to Tracy Aviary & Botanical Garden (589 E 1300 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84105) at Liberty Park needs something very different from a high school group making the drive out to Utah Olympic Park (3419 Olympic Pkwy, Park City, UT 84060) in Park City. Through Charterbusservicessaltlakecity.com, you can compare 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, 56-passenger charter buses, and sprinter vans from different independent operators — each with their own amenities, pricing, and availability.
ADA-accessible buses are available through the network too; just mention it when you request your quote. Whatever your headcount and wherever you're headed, you'll find a bus that fits right here!

Charter Buses to the Natural History Museum of Utah and University of Utah Campus
Get online pricing in seconds for field trips to one of Utah's most visited educational destinations! The Natural History Museum of Utah (301 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84108) sits on the University of Utah's Research Park, up the hill from the main campus on Wakara Way. Buses drop off at the main entrance circle on Wakara Way, with staging available in nearby Research Park surface lots including Lot 72 off Wakara Way.
The museum offers school group programs and discounted admission for groups of 15 or more, with advance reservations required — call the venue directly at (801) 581-6927 to book your visit. For groups also stopping at Utah Museum of Fine Arts (410 Campus Center Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84112) or Red Butte Garden (300 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84108), the Wakara Way corridor keeps all three stops on one clean route. For a full-size coach, use Colorow Road west of the museum for free motorcoach parking; coaches cannot stage in the museum drop-off areas, so your bus unloads first and clears the turnaround for the next arrival — see the Natural History Museum of Utah motorcoach parking instructions.
Confirm current bus access details on the University of Utah Parking & Transportation page before your visit.
Minibuses and Charter Buses to Hogle Zoo and This Is The Place Heritage Park
Keep your whole class together for one of Salt Lake City's most popular field trip combinations — Utah's Hogle Zoo (2600 E Sunnyside Ave, Salt Lake City, UT 84108) and This Is The Place Heritage Park (2601 E Sunnyside Ave, Salt Lake City, UT 84108) sit right next to each other at the mouth of Emigration Canyon. Buses drop off at the main entrance on Sunnyside Avenue, with school-bus parking in the North Parking Lot for fall and spring field trips and at the far east end of the main parking lot for winter field trips. Hogle Zoo offers dedicated school field trip programs and ZooMobile outreach for groups of 15 or more; call the venue directly at (801) 582-1631 for group reservations.
This Is The Place Heritage Park runs living history pioneer programs for K-12 groups; call the venue directly at (801) 582-1847 to arrange your visit. Field-trip check-in happens at that seasonal bus-parking location, and your entire student and chaperone group stays together until zoo staff clears everyone to enter — see the Utah's Hogle Zoo field-trip bus parking instructions. With Charterbusservicessaltlakecity.com, you can compare available buses and pricing for this double-stop itinerary in under 30 seconds!
Group Buses to Thanksgiving Point's Museums in Lehi
It just got easier to plan a full-day field trip to one of Utah's most expansive educational destinations! Thanksgiving Point (3003 N Thanksgiving Way, Lehi, UT 84043) is about 30 miles south of Salt Lake City on I-15 and home to the Museum of Ancient Life, the Museum of Natural Curiosity, Farm Country, and Ashton Gardens — all in one campus. Buses use the dedicated oversized vehicle parking area near the main entrance; no advance parking reservation is typically required for day visits, but group visit reservations are required for museum programs.
For the Museum of Ancient Life, students unload at the southeast entrance and the bus parks in the lot west of the museum; at the Museum of Natural Curiosity, buses approach from the north and use the drop-off alcove beyond the museum's roundabout — see the official Thanksgiving Point Museum of Ancient Life bus parking map and Museum of Natural Curiosity bus drop-off map. Thanksgiving Point field trips are not offered on Fridays or Saturdays, so your bus search should start with the available weekday calendar shown on the Thanksgiving Point field-trip request page. Call the venue directly at (801) 768-2300 to book your group's visit.
A 56-passenger charter bus with reclining seats, climate control, and undercarriage luggage bays makes the I-15 run comfortable for students and chaperones alike — and with Charterbusservicessaltlakecity.com, you can compare available charter buses and pricing from a large network of bus companies serving the Salt Lake Valley in seconds!
Field Trip Buses to Downtown Salt Lake City Museums and Attractions
In the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, your class can visit three great field trip destinations within easy walking distance of each other — and one bus handles all of it. Clark Planetarium (110 S 400 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84101) offers IMAX dome shows and space science exhibits; buses drop off on 400 West or South Temple, with parking at The Gateway structure at 400 W and 100 S. The Leonardo (209 E 500 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84111) runs STEM-focused field trip programs; drop-off is on 200 East, with parking at the Library Square Garage at 200 E 500 S. And the Pioneer Memorial Museum (300 N Main St, Salt Lake City, UT 84103) offers free admission and a deep look at Utah's pioneer history, with drop-off on Main Street and nearby surface lots. The Leonardo gives buses 10 minutes to unload or load in its 200 East zone, then directs them to free street parking one block south on 600 South between 200 East and 400 East — see the official Leonardo bus parking guide. Charterbusservicessaltlakecity.com makes it easy to compare buses for downtown multi-stop itineraries — fill out one form and see what's available for your date!
Long-Distance Field Trip Buses to Antelope Island and Beyond
Waiting until the last minute to book a bus for a long-distance field trip is one of the most common — and most avoidable — mistakes a trip organizer can make. Antelope Island State Park is about 35 miles northwest of Salt Lake City and one of Utah's most popular outdoor classroom destinations, with ranger-led programs, bison herds, and sweeping Great Salt Lake views. Buses use the main parking area at the visitor center; call the venue directly at (801) 773-2941 to arrange ranger-led programs and confirm group day-use fees in advance.
For even longer trips — like a charter to Dinosaur National Monument, about 150 miles east on US-40 — a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and large undercarriage luggage bays is the right call. Book 4–8 weeks out for spring field trip season; prom season in April and May tightens availability across the entire Salt Lake Valley. Call 385-249-5760 now or use the online quote tool to lock in your date!

Transportation is provided by independent operators; Charterbusservicessaltlakecity.com is the comparison and referral step that makes finding the right bus fast and easy.
Yes. Buses drop off at the main entrance circle on Wakara Way on the University of Utah Research Park campus. Staging for oversized vehicles is available in nearby Research Park surface lots, including Lot 72 off Wakara Way.
The University of Utah Parking & Transportation office at (801) 581-6415 can confirm current lot assignments. School group visits require advance reservations through NHMU at (801) 581-6927; groups of 15 or more receive discounted admission.
Buses drop off at the main entrance on Sunnyside Avenue and park in the North Parking Lot for fall and spring field trips or at the far east end of the main parking lot for winter field trips. A flat bus parking rate applies. Since Hogle Zoo and This Is The Place Heritage Park (2601 E Sunnyside Ave) sit side by side, one bus can cover both stops on the same itinerary without repositioning.
Call Hogle Zoo at (801) 582-1631 to confirm current group rates and parking arrangements before your visit.
For spring field trips — the peak season running March through May — book 4 to 8 weeks in advance to get the best vehicle selection and pricing. If your trip falls during prom season (April and May), availability across the entire Salt Lake Valley tightens significantly, since school groups and prom parties compete for the same buses. Long-distance trips to destinations like Dinosaur National Monument or Utah Olympic Park benefit from even earlier booking.
Call 385-249-5760 as soon as your date is confirmed to see what's available!
Yes. ADA-accessible buses — including vehicles with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms — are available through the network of independent operators on this platform. Just mention your accessibility needs when you fill out the quote form or when you call 385-249-5760, and the available options will reflect what's actually accessible for your group.
Mentioning it early gives you the widest selection of compliant vehicles for your date and route.
It depends on your headcount and how far you're going. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus works well for smaller classes visiting downtown destinations like Clark Planetarium or The Leonardo, where tight urban drop-off zones favor a more compact vehicle. A 56-passenger charter bus with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, and undercarriage luggage bays is the right call for full-grade trips to Thanksgiving Point or long-distance runs to Antelope Island or Dinosaur National Monument.
Fill out one form on Charterbusservicessaltlakecity.com to compare both options side by side for your specific date and route!
Absolutely. The network of bus companies available through Charterbusservicessaltlakecity.com serves Salt Lake City and the entire Wasatch Front — including Sandy, Bountiful, Murray, West Jordan, Draper, Cottonwood Heights, Midvale, and communities across Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, and Tooele counties.
