More About School Buses
Browse bus types through the network and you'll find two main school bus categories ready for Phoenix groups. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — perfect for compact field trips, small youth groups, or church outings where a full-size coach would feel excessive. Need more room?
A Type C large conventional school bus rental seats approximately 44–48 adults, giving larger groups plenty of space for the ride to Phoenix Zoo (455 N. Galvin Pkwy., Phoenix, AZ 85008) or across the Valley. Compare both options side by side, with photos and instant online pricing, all in one place! Buses drop off in front of the Nina Mason Pulliam South Gate Entrance, and groups assigned to that entrance enter together, giving students and chaperones one shared arrival point.

At Arizona Science Center, buses use Heritage & Science Park for pick-up and drop-off, then park at the Convention Center Parking Garage after check-in. Parking passes must be requested before the field trip and are limited first-come, first-served, so securing one in advance gives your group a designated place for the bus.

Your students can board and leave from one designated bus area.
