Charter Buses to the Minnesota Zoo, Science Museum, and Top Twin Cities Field Trip Destinations
With one form, you can find field trip transportation to every major Twin Cities destination your class has on the calendar! The Minnesota Zoo (13000 Zoo Blvd, Apple Valley, MN 55124) is approximately 20 miles south of Edina via I-35W and requires advance group reservations — a charter bus drops your students at the main entrance circle and parks in the dedicated bus lot nearby. The Science Museum of Minnesota (120 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102) has school-year field-trip drop-off and pickup at the Education Entrance on 100 N Chestnut Street, and the Minnesota History Center (345 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102) stages charter buses in the surface lots and ramps on John Ireland Boulevard.
Compare buses for any of these destinations in seconds!
School field trips at the Minnesota Zoo must be registered at least two weeks before arrival, and bus parking is a separate $15 rate versus $10 for a car. Your bus brings the class through one arrival plan while the exact venue parking cost stays clear before you travel.
For school-year field trips through June 14, 2027, buses use the turnaround off Eagle Street and Chestnut Street, then park at 224 N Chestnut Street, St. Paul, MN 55102; the museum has no onsite bus parking, and pickup returns to the drop-off area. Your bus unloads close to the Education Entrance, clears the curb, and comes back when your visit ends. The Science Museum of Minnesota school bus directions map the approach from I-94 and I-35E.

These are the kinds of field trips Edina students remember for years — and Busrentaledina.com makes the transportation the easy part!

The Mill City Museum (704 S 2nd St, Minneapolis, MN 55401) stages buses on 2nd Street S along the Mississippi riverfront.
For performing arts trips, the Children’s Theatre Company (2400 3rd Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55404) sits right next to Mia and offers school matinee programs throughout the year. Compare buses for any of these destinations with one quick form!

Busrentaledina.com is how Edina teachers and administrators take the stress out of field trip planning!

One bus, one itinerary, one pickup — and the whole group walks in together. Fill out one form to compare available buses and pricing for your next trip!
