Browse Party Buses, Minibuses, and Charter Buses for School Event Transportation
Not every class trip looks the same, and the network reflects that. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is a great fit for a smaller class heading over to the Explorit Science Center in Davis — compact enough to navigate 5th Street without the oversized-vehicle headaches, with overhead compartments for backpacks and day bags. A full-size 56-passenger motorcoach gives a larger group undercarriage luggage bays, reclining seats, onboard restrooms, climate control, and WiFi for longer runs down I-80 toward Sacramento or west toward Vallejo.
ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts are available through the network — just mention it when you request your quote. Whatever your headcount, your destination, and your budget, you can compare options side by side and choose the bus that works for your class.

Charter Buses for the Jelly Belly Factory Field Trip From Vacaville
The Jelly Belly Factory (1 Jelly Belly Ln, Fairfield, CA 94533) sits about 10 miles west of Vacaville on I-80 — roughly a 15-minute run on a clear morning, closer to 25 minutes if westbound traffic stacks up between the Leisure Town Road on-ramp and the Waterman Boulevard interchange. The factory offers self-guided tours for $8 adults and $4 children ages 3-17, plus guided tours by reservation, and free bus parking in the main surface lot, accessed off Courage Drive. For school groups, advance notice is not required; tours start at 9:15 a.m., the last tour starts at 4 p.m., and classes larger than 60 should split into groups of 60 or fewer on the Jelly Belly Factory tour page.
Your bus can stage in the lot during business hours, but overnight parking is prohibited. Group reservations are recommended before you arrive, and the tour itself runs about 45 minutes, so your bus can stage in the lot and be ready the moment your class wraps up. Because the Jelly Belly Factory is one of the most popular field trip destinations for Vacaville Unified School District classes, dates in the spring fill up fast — book your bus early so your trip date stays on the calendar.
Buses for the Western Railway Museum Group Visit From Vacaville
The Western Railway Museum (5848 State Hwy 12, Suisun City, CA 94585) is about 15 miles southwest of Vacaville — take I-80 west to Highway 12 east toward Rio Vista, and the museum sits right on the highway. Bus parking is in the main gravel lot off Highway 12, and the museum is open primarily on weekends. The train ride lasts 50 minutes, and you should arrive about 30 minutes before departure because the trains leave on time; the Western Railway Museum group-tour page lays out the timing for the full 1- to 2-hour experience.
Group reservations are required — call the museum at 707-305-1090 before your visit to confirm your arrival window and group size. The museum's electric streetcar rides and vintage locomotive collection make it a standout STEM and history field trip, and a minibus or charter bus keeps your whole class together for the ride out on Highway 12 instead of splitting into parent carpool convoys.
School Buses for Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Field Trips Near Vacaville
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (1001 Fairgrounds Dr, Vallejo, CA 94589) is about 25 miles southwest of Vacaville via I-80 west to I-780 toward Vallejo — plan for 35 to 50 minutes depending on morning traffic through Fairfield and the I-780 interchange. Charter buses and school buses park in Lot A off Fairgrounds Drive, with a $35-per-vehicle bus parking fee. Drop your group at the main entrance on Fairgrounds Drive and let the bus stage in Lot A until pickup.
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (1001 Fairgrounds Dr, Vallejo, CA 94589) runs its Discovery Field Trips for K–12 students on non-operating days, with LAND and SEA guided tours lasting about 20 minutes. Your bus keeps the class together through that special school-day schedule, even when rides and attractions are not available. Six Flags is one of the biggest field trip draws in Northern California, and spring dates — especially April and May — book out across the entire region.
Lock in your bus well before the school calendar fills, and confirm current group visit details with the park's group sales team before your trip date.
Charter Buses for Sacramento Zoo and Capitol Field Trips From Vacaville
Two of the most popular Sacramento-area field trip destinations for Vacaville schools sit about 40 miles east on I-80 — a 45- to 60-minute run that stretches past an hour when afternoon traffic backs up at the Yolo Causeway heading home. The Sacramento Zoo (3930 W Land Park Dr, Sacramento, CA 95822) allows buses to load, unload, and park on 15th Street or 17th Street; call 707-305-1090 to arrange group bus logistics before your visit. Buses cannot load, unload, or park in front of the zoo, and your class meets across the street near the large Fairytale Town sign for headcount and check-in before crossing to the main entrance on the Sacramento Zoo field-trip arrival guide.
The California State Capitol Museum (1315 10th St, Sacramento, CA 95814) takes bus drop-offs on L Street or 10th Street — there's no dedicated bus lot, so coordinate your arrival window with the Capitol Guide Service at 916-324-0333. A 56-passenger motorcoach with onboard restrooms makes the I-80 run easy in both directions.
Buses to the Explorit Science Center and UC Davis From Vacaville Schools
Davis is only about 20 miles east on I-80 — a straightforward 25-minute drive that makes it one of the most accessible field trip corridors for Vacaville Unified classes. The Explorit Science Center (3141 5th St, Davis, CA 95618) is a hands-on science museum built for exactly the kind of group your class brings — buses park on 5th Street near the entrance, and the small lot fills quickly on busy school days, so early arrival matters. For groups visiting UC Davis (1 Shields Ave, Davis, CA 95616) — the Arboretum, the Mondavi Center, or the campus itself — bus drop-off runs along Shields Avenue, with visitor parking available in Lot 1 off Old Davis Rd. Buses may also park fee-free at the ASUCD Unitrans facility on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. when space is available, while loading, unloading, or parking elsewhere requires advance approval through the UC Davis visitor bus-parking guidelines.
Your bus has a named campus staging option instead of circling for a regular visitor space. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is ideal for both destinations: easy to maneuver on Davis's bike-heavy streets and right-sized for most classroom groups.

Book at least three to four months out for spring field trips, and push that to five or six months for popular April and May dates. Spring is the single busiest stretch of the year for field trip transportation across Solano and Yolo Counties — Vacaville Unified, Travis Unified, and every neighboring district are all competing for buses on the same calendar. Waiting until March for an April trip means higher rates and limited vehicle selection.
