A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Science Museum of Minnesota
Located at 120 W Kellogg Blvd, Saint Paul, MN 55102, the Science Museum of Minnesota is a premier destination for educational groups, families, and curious minds of all ages. This massive facility overlooks the Mississippi River and features interactive exhibits ranging from massive dinosaur fossils to the intricate workings of the human body. One of the biggest challenges for large school groups or corporate teams visiting the museum is navigating the busy traffic along Kellogg Boulevard and finding suitable parking for oversized vehicles. When you book a school field trip bus rental with Charter Bus Saint Paul, your driver will handle the logistics of the designated bus drop-off zone located in the turn-out on Kellogg Boulevard, ensuring your students arrive safely and step directly toward the entrance.
Inside, your group can marvel at the world-class Omnitheater, which features a 90-foot convertible dome screen. Because the museum can accommodate thousands of visitors daily, our private shuttle service ensures your group stays together and on schedule. After exploring the "Sportsology" exhibit or taking in a live science demonstration, your climate-controlled motorcoach will be waiting at a pre-arranged pickup point. No more waiting for public transit or coordinating a dozen separate carpools. Our full-size charter buses offer amenities like onboard restrooms and WiFi, making them the perfect "mobile classroom" for groups traveling from as far as Rochester, Duluth, or even across the border from Wisconsin. Let us take the stress out of your educational adventure so you can focus on the wonders of science!
Xcel Energy Center
The Xcel Energy Center (199 W Kellogg Blvd, Saint Paul, MN 55102), affectionately known as "The X," is the heartbeat of Saint Paul’s sports and entertainment scene. Home to the NHL’s Minnesota Wild, this arena brings in over 18,000 screaming hockey fans for every home game, not to mention the countless world-class concerts and the famous Minnesota State High School League tournaments. Game day traffic in Downtown Saint Paul is notoriously difficult, with parking ramps filling up hours before puck drop and surge pricing making rideshares an expensive headache. Skip the gridlock and book a sporting event party bus or charter bus rental with Charter Bus Saint Paul! We’ll drop your fan group off curbside near the Gate 1 entrance, allowing you to walk right into the action while your driver handles the parking logistics in designated oversized vehicle lots.
Planning a massive pre-game tailgate? Our full-size motorcoaches offer massive undercarriage storage bays perfect for coolers, folding chairs, and team banners. Inside, your group can pre-game in style with plush reclining seats, Bluetooth sound systems, and flat-screen TVs to watch highlights of past Wild victories. Whether you’re a youth hockey team traveling to the state tournament or a corporate group treating clients to a VIP suite, we provide reliable, 24/7 service that ensures you never miss the opening faceoff. When the final horn sounds, you won't have to fight the crowds to find your car; your private bus will be waiting to whisk you away to an after-party in West 7th or safely back to your hotel.
Como Park Zoo & Conservatory
Como Park Zoo & Conservatory (1225 Estabrook Dr, Saint Paul, MN 55103) is a beloved Saint Paul landmark that offers free admission, making it one of the most popular spots for family reunions, school field trips, and wedding ceremonies. The Marjorie McNeely Conservatory, with its stunning glass domes and seasonal flower shows, provides a picturesque backdrop for any event. However, the parking lots at Como Park are shared between the zoo, the conservatory, the golf course, and the pool, meaning they fill up incredibly fast on weekends and sunny summer days. By renting a private shuttle bus through Charter Bus Saint Paul, you can bypass the search for a parking spot entirely. Your driver will drop your passengers off directly at the main entrance, which is especially helpful for senior groups or those with mobility concerns.
Our fleet includes everything from 15-passenger minibuses—perfect for an intimate garden wedding group—to 56-passenger motorcoaches for entire grade levels. While your group enjoys the Polar Bear Odyssey or the Japanese Garden, you can rest easy knowing your driver is nearby and ready to move your group to your next stop, whether that’s a picnic at Como Lake or dinner on Grand Avenue. With onboard A/C to beat the humid Minnesota summers and large panoramic windows to take in the views of the park, your journey to Como will be just as relaxing as the destination itself. We’ve served thousands of groups at this location since 2011, making us the local experts in Como Park logistics.
Minnesota State Capitol
History buffs and student groups won't want to miss a tour of the Minnesota State Capitol (75 Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Saint Paul, MN 55155). Recently restored to its original 1905 glory, the Capitol features the second-largest unsupported marble dome in the world and the iconic Quadriga (golden horses) on the roof. Educational outings here are essential for learning about Minnesota’s legislative process, but coordinating bus parking in the Capitol complex requires advanced planning and adherence to strict city regulations. When you choose Charter Bus Saint Paul, you’re working with a team that knows the layout of MLK Boulevard and the designated bus loading zones near the Aurora Avenue entrance.
Our modern charter buses are equipped with PA systems, making it easy for teachers to give instructions or for tour guides to narrate the history of the city as you roll past the Minnesota History Center nearby. We frequently help schools from suburban districts like Woodbury, Eagan, and Maplewood organize day trips that include the Capitol, the Science Museum, and the Cathedral of Saint Paul. With plenty of overhead storage for backpacks and reclining seats for a mid-day nap, your students will stay refreshed and engaged throughout their history lesson. Whether you're here for an advocacy day, a school tour, or a private architectural photography session, we’ll make sure your transportation is as stately and reliable as the building itself.
Cathedral of Saint Paul
The Cathedral of Saint Paul (239 Selby Ave, Saint Paul, MN 55102) is a stunning example of Beaux-Arts architecture and a National Shrine that sits majestically on Summit Hill. It’s a frequent stop for sightseeing tours, religious retreats, and wedding parties. Parking near the Cathedral is very limited, and the narrow, historic streets of the surrounding neighborhood aren't always friendly to large groups driving separate cars. A private bus rental from Charter Bus Saint Paul is the ideal solution. We can provide a sleek, all-black or all-white fleet of minibuses to shuttle your wedding guests from downtown hotels like the Saint Paul Hotel or the InterContinental directly to the Cathedral steps, ensuring everyone arrives on time for the ceremony.
For religious organizations planning a pilgrimage or a choir performance, our full-size motorcoaches offer the comfort of an onboard restroom and ample space for instruments or robes. Your driver will navigate the steep grade of Selby Avenue with ease, dropping your group off and then staging nearby until you’re ready for your next destination. After your tour of the interior’s incredible mosaics and marble, let us take you down the street to the James J. Hill House or for a group lunch on nearby Grand Avenue. With Charter Bus Saint Paul, your visit to this historic landmark will be filled with reverence and relaxation, not parking stress.
Saint Paul RiverCentre
As the city’s premier convention and event space, the Saint Paul RiverCentre (175 W Kellogg Blvd, Saint Paul, MN 55102) hosts everything from massive industry trade shows and corporate conferences to the popular Minnesota Boat Show. If you’re an event planner coordinating transportation for hundreds of attendees, you need a partner you can trust. Charter Bus Saint Paul specializes in large-scale corporate event transportation. We can establish dedicated shuttle loops between the RiverCentre and major hotels throughout the Twin Cities, ensuring your VIPs and staff arrive like clockwork. Our executive-style minibuses feature leather seating, WiFi, and power outlets at every row, allowing professionals to stay productive and connected en route to their next breakout session.
For out-of-town clients flying into Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP), we provide reliable airport transfer services. Your driver will meet your group at the terminal and provide a direct connection to the RiverCentre or their hotel, bypassing the chaos of public shuttles and the uncertainty of multiple rideshares. We understand that in the business world, time is money. Our team works 24/7 to support your schedule, adjusting for any last-minute itinerary changes or flight delays. Whether you need a single sprinter van for an executive team or a fleet of 50 coaches for a multi-day convention, we have the capacity and the local knowledge to keep your business event moving smoothly.
CHS Field & Lowertown
Lowertown is one of Saint Paul’s most vibrant neighborhoods, and CHS Field (360 N Broadway St, Saint Paul, MN 55101) is its crown jewel. Home to the Saint Paul Saints minor league baseball team, the field is famous for its fun-filled atmosphere and "fun is good" mantra. Groups love coming here for company outings, bachelor parties, and family birthdays. However, Lowertown is a dense urban area with very limited street parking. Booking a party bus rental in Saint Paul for your day at the ballpark is the ultimate way to enjoy the neighborhood without the hassle. We’ll drop you off right near the Broadway Street entrance, just steps from the dog-friendly outfield and the local breweries that line the surrounding blocks like Barrel Theory Beer Company.
A party bus rental allows the celebration to start the moment you board! With wraparound seating, LED lighting, and a Bluetooth sound system, your group can pre-game with music and drinks while we navigate the I-94 traffic. After the game, your driver can take you on a tour of Lowertown's best bars or safely transport everyone back home. It's the most convenient and fun way to support the Saints or attend a festival at the field. Plus, with a designated driver at the wheel, everyone can celebrate responsibly. From the Farmers Market to Mears Park, let Charter Bus Saint Paul be your guide to the best of Lowertown group travel.
James J. Hill House & Summit Avenue
Summit Avenue is the longest preserved stretch of Victorian-era mansions in the United States, and the James J. Hill House (240 Summit Ave, Saint Paul, MN 55102) is its most famous residence. Known as the "Empire Builder’s" home, this 36,000-square-foot mansion is a favorite for historical tours and sophisticated private events. For travel agents and tour groups, Summit Avenue is a must-see, but the narrow lanes and historic nature of the road make it difficult for multiple cars to park or navigate together. A private charter bus allows your group to take a slow, narrated tour of the entire avenue from the comfort of a climate-controlled cabin with panoramic windows, culminating in a drop-off at the Hill House for a guided tour.
Our minibuses are a popular choice for intimate wedding parties taking photos along the mansion-lined streets. We can coordinate multiple pickups from nearby B&Bs and hotels, ensuring your bridal party stays together and on time for every photo op. If you’re planning a holiday tour to see the lights or a summer stroll through the nearby gardens, let us handle the driving. We provide 24/7 support and flexible itineraries, so if you decide to spend an extra thirty minutes admiring the woodwork in the Hill House library, your bus will be waiting right where you left it. Experience the elegance of old Saint Paul with modern, reliable transportation from Charter Bus Saint Paul.

How far in advance should I book my Saint Paul charter bus?
To ensure the best selection of vehicles and the most competitive rates, we strongly recommend booking your Saint Paul charter bus rental at least 3 to 6 months in advance. For trips occurring during peak travel seasons—such as the busy spring months of April, May, and June, or during major city-wide events like the Minnesota State Fair or high-demand concerts at the Xcel Energy Center—it is best to book 6 to 9 months ahead. Last-minute bookings are always possible depending on fleet availability, but planning ahead guarantees you get the specific amenities and bus size you need for your event. Once you have your travel dates and a rough headcount finalized, give our team a call to lock in your reservation with a deposit and cross transportation off your to-do list!
