A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Kimberly Crest House & Gardens
If your group appreciates history, architecture, or stunning botanical displays, a visit to the Kimberly Crest House & Gardens is an absolute must. Located at 1325 Prospect Dr, Redlands, CA 92373, this picturesque French Château-style Victorian mansion is a designated California Historical Landmark. Built in 1897, the home is surrounded by over six acres of Italian Renaissance-style gardens, making it a favorite spot for wedding parties, photography clubs, and history tours. Visitors can tour the museum to see original furniture and learn about the Kimberly family, founders of the Kimberly-Clark Corporation.
Traveling to Kimberly Crest with a large group can be challenging due to the narrow, winding driveway and limited on-site parking, which is often reserved for regular visitors. When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Redlands, we handle the logistics for you. Your driver can drop your group off right at the front gate, allowing immediate access to the grounds without the long walk from overflow parking areas. After your tour, your bus will be waiting to whisk you away to your next destination or a local restaurant for lunch. This venue is particularly popular for wedding shuttles; we can transport your entire guest list from a local hotel to the ceremony and reception, ensuring everyone arrives on time and ready to celebrate in this fairy-tale setting.
Redlands Bowl
For music lovers and culture enthusiasts, the Redlands Bowl is a cornerstone of the community. Located at 25 Grant St, Redlands, CA 92373 in Smiley Park, this outdoor amphitheater hosts the Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival, which holds the distinction of being the oldest continuous music festival in the United States to charge no admission fee. From symphonies and operas to jazz concerts and musical theater, the Bowl offers world-class entertainment under the stars. It is a fantastic destination for senior groups, church congregations, and family reunions looking for a relaxed, culturally rich evening.
However, because the events are free and popular, parking is notoriously difficult. The streets surrounding Smiley Park fill up hours before the performances begin, often forcing attendees to park blocks away and walk. Avoid this hassle by renting a charter bus in Redlands. Your group can load up folding chairs, picnic baskets, and coolers into the spacious undercarriage luggage bays of the bus. Your driver can drop you off near the entrance on Eureka Street or Vine Street, go park the bus at a designated layover spot, and return to pick you up once the final encore is finished. This door-to-door service transforms a potentially stressful parking situation into a luxurious VIP experience for your entire group.
Hangar 24 Craft Brewery
Redlands is home to a booming craft beer scene, and it all starts at Hangar 24 Craft Brewery. Located directly across from the Redlands Municipal Airport at 1710 Sessums Dr, Redlands, CA 92374, this brewery is famous for its Orange Wheat beer, which utilizes locally grown citrus—a nod to Redlands' history as a major citrus producer. The large tasting room and outdoor patio feature live music, food trucks, and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for bachelor parties, corporate happy hours, or just a weekend outing with friends.
By booking a private minibus or party bus rental with Charter Bus Redlands, you ensure that everyone in your group has a safe, reliable ride home. There is no need to assign a designated driver or split the group into multiple expensive rideshares. You can keep the party going on the road with our buses' onboard entertainment systems and AUX inputs for your own music. Whether you are doing a full brewery tour of the Inland Empire or just spending the afternoon at Hangar 24, we provide the ultimate designated driving service so your group can sample the flights and pints responsibly and worry-free.
San Bernardino County Museum
For educational field trips and history buffs, the San Bernardino County Museum offers a deep dive into the natural and cultural heritage of the region. Located at 2024 Orange Tree Ln, Redlands, CA 92374, the museum features extensive exhibits on anthropology, geology, paleontology, and the biological diversity of Inland Southern California. It is an ideal destination for school groups, scout troops, and academic organizations. The museum grounds also include cactus gardens and replicas of historical structures.
Transporting a large class or youth group can be chaotic with traditional yellow school buses that often lack climate control and seatbelts. Upgrade your field trip experience with a modern charter bus rental from Charter Bus Redlands. Our buses come equipped with air conditioning to beat the desert heat, onboard restrooms to minimize unscheduled stops, and DVD players with monitors to keep students entertained during the drive. We can coordinate with the museum for designated bus parking, making the check-in process smooth and efficient. With ample storage for lunches and backpacks, your students and chaperones will arrive at the museum organized and ready to learn.
Historic Downtown Redlands & State Street
No trip to the city is complete without exploring Historic Downtown Redlands, centered along E State St, Redlands, CA 92373. This vibrant district is packed with brick-lined buildings, boutique shops, antique stores, and a diverse array of restaurants ranging from gastropubs to fine dining. Don't miss "Umbrella Alley" on Orange Street for a colorful photo opportunity! It is a perfect destination for corporate groups looking for a lunch break, wedding parties needing a rehearsal dinner spot, or tourists wanting to soak up the local vibe.
Parking in downtown Redlands, especially on weekends or during the Thursday night Market Night, can be a challenge for multiple vehicles. Finding spots near each other is nearly impossible. A minibus rental is the perfect solution for navigating the downtown grid. Your driver can drop your group off right in the heart of the action near Ed Hales Park, allowing you to explore the shops and restaurants on foot. Once you have had your fill of shopping and dining, your bus will be waiting to take you to your hotel or next attraction. We can even help you organize a shuttle loop if your group wants to split up between different downtown locations.
The Lincoln Memorial Shrine
One of the most unique attractions in the city is The Lincoln Memorial Shrine, located behind the A.K. Smiley Public Library at 125 W Vine St, Redlands, CA 92373. It is the only museum and archive dedicated to Abraham Lincoln and the American Civil War west of the Mississippi River. The shrine houses an impressive collection of manuscripts, diaries, artifacts, and artwork related to the 16th President. It serves as a profound educational resource and a beautiful monument within Smiley Park.
Given its location within a public park and near the library, parking for large groups can be tricky. When you rent a charter bus in Redlands, you eliminate the stress of finding space for several cars. We can drop your group off curbside on Vine Street, ensuring easy access for visitors of all mobility levels. This is an excellent addition to any educational itinerary or senior citizen group tour. The quiet, comfortable environment of a charter bus allows your group to discuss the exhibits or relax in reclining seats after absorbing the rich history of the shrine. It’s a seamless way to add a touch of history to your Redlands itinerary.
University of Redlands
Home to the Bulldogs, the University of Redlands is a prestigious private liberal arts university located at 1200 E Colton Ave, Redlands, CA 92373. The stunning campus features distinctive architecture and the iconic "R" on the hillside. Groups often visit for campus tours, academic conferences, graduation ceremonies, or athletic events. Whether you are a group of high school seniors touring prospective colleges or an alumni association coming back for homecoming, the university is a central hub of activity in the city.
Charter Bus Redlands is experienced in providing campus shuttle services. We can transport prospective students from high schools across Southern California directly to the admissions office. For visiting sports teams, our full-size charter buses offer ample undercarriage storage for equipment, uniforms, and gear, ensuring the aisles stay clear for athletes to stretch out and rest before the game. If you are organizing a large event on campus, we can establish a shuttle loop between designated parking lots and the event venue to keep traffic flowing smoothly. Trust us to handle the logistics so you can focus on the academic or athletic task at hand.
Prospect Park
For a taste of Redlands' agricultural history and natural beauty, bring your group to Prospect Park, located at 1352 Prospect Dr, Redlands, CA 92373. This beautiful park features orange groves that pay homage to the city's citrus heritage, walking trails, and the Avice Meeker Sewall Theater, an outdoor venue often used for summer plays and events. It sits adjacent to the Kimberly Crest House and offers panoramic views of the San Bernardino Valley. It is an excellent spot for company picnics, outdoor weddings, or a relaxing afternoon stroll.
Accessing Prospect Park with a large group is much easier with a private bus rental. The park is located in a residential area with winding roads, making a convoy of cars difficult to manage. A charter bus ensures everyone arrives at the same time, so you can start your picnic or event without waiting for stragglers. You can utilize the bus's storage compartments to transport picnic supplies, games, and coolers. If you are attending a performance at the outdoor theater, your driver can handle the drop-off and pick-up, allowing your group to enjoy the show without the worry of hiking back to a distant parking spot in the dark.
