A Group Travel Guide to West Palm Beach, Florida's Best Destinations

Norton Museum of Art

For groups with an appreciation for culture and creativity, the Norton Museum of Art is a non-negotiable stop. Located at 1450 S Dixie Hwy, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, this is the largest museum in Florida, boasting a distinguished collection of American, Chinese, European, and contemporary art, as well as photography. The museum recently underwent a massive expansion designed by Lord Norman Foster, making the architecture just as stunning as the art housed within. Groups can wander through the sculpture gardens or take a guided tour of the Masterpiece collection.

Parking in the immediate vicinity of the museum can be tight, especially during special exhibitions or Art After Dark events on Friday nights. When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company West Palm Beach, we eliminate the parking struggle entirely. Your driver can drop your group off right at the main entrance, allowing you to walk straight into the Great Hall without breaking a sweat. While you explore the galleries, your bus will wait at a designated staging area. After your tour, perhaps you’ll want to head to a nearby restaurant for lunch; your bus will be ready and waiting to whisk you away to your next stop.

The Square (formerly CityPlace)

If your group is looking for the heartbeat of West Palm Beach, you will find it at The Square. Located at 700 S Rosemary Ave, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, this open-air shopping, dining, and entertainment district is a Mediterranean-inspired architectural gem. It is the perfect destination for corporate groups looking for a lunch break, wedding parties killing time before the rehearsal dinner, or tourists wanting to shop at high-end boutiques. With fountains, palm trees, and frequent live music on the lawn, it captures the essence of the Florida lifestyle.

However, The Square is located in the heart of downtown, where parking garages can be expensive and confusing for out-of-towners driving multiple cars. By booking a minibus or charter bus, your group avoids the parking fees and the hassle of finding spots on different levels of a garage. We can drop you off curbside near the AMC theater or the Cheesecake Factory. Your group can split up to shop and dine at their leisure, storing their shopping bags securely in the overhead bins of the bus upon their return. Whether you are grabbing a quick bite or spending the whole afternoon, Charter Bus Rental Company West Palm Beach ensures your arrival and departure are seamless.

Lion Country Safari

For a truly wild experience that you cannot get anywhere else in the state, Lion Country Safari is a must-visit. Located at 2003 Lion Country Safari Rd, Loxahatchee, FL 33470, about 20 miles west of downtown West Palm Beach, this is Florida's only drive-through safari and walk-through amusement park. Visitors can see over 1,000 animals, including giraffes, zebras, rhinos, and lions, roaming freely. It is a phenomenal destination for school field trips, summer camps, and family reunions.

Here is why a charter bus rental is the absolute best way to experience Lion Country Safari: elevation. When you drive through the four-mile safari in a standard car, you are looking up at the animals. In a Charter Bus Rental Company West Palm Beach motorcoach, your group sits high above the ground with large panoramic windows, offering unparalleled views of the wildlife. You don't have to worry about driving your own vehicle through the preserve; the drivers can navigate the path at a slow, steady pace so everyone gets the perfect photo. Plus, once the driving portion is done, we can park easily while your group enjoys the walk-through amusement park, water slides, and petting zoo.

Manatee Lagoon

Florida’s gentle giants have a dedicated eco-discovery center right here in West Palm Beach. Manatee Lagoon, located at 6000 N Flagler Dr, West Palm Beach, FL 33407, is an FPL Eco-Discovery Center dedicated to educating the public about manatees and the Lake Worth Lagoon ecosystem. The center is situated near the Florida Power & Light Company’s Riviera Beach Next Generation Clean Energy Center, where manatees gather in the warm-water outflows during the cooler winter months (November through March).

This is an ideal stop for educational groups and eco-tourists. Admission is free, but coordinating a large group visit requires planning. Charter Bus Rental Company West Palm Beach makes it easy. We can shuttle your science class or nature club directly to the waterfront facility. While the facility offers parking, it can fill up quickly during peak manatee season. A private bus rental ensures your group arrives together for your scheduled educational program or observation time. After viewing the manatees, your group can board the cool, air-conditioned bus to discuss the experience or head to a picnic lunch at a nearby park, utilizing the ample undercarriage storage for coolers and supplies.

Clematis Street & Downtown West Palm Beach

When the sun goes down, Clematis Street heats up. This historic street is the epicenter of West Palm Beach’s nightlife, stretching west from the Intracoastal Waterway. It is lined with colorful boutiques, art galleries, nightclubs, live music venues, and some of the city's best restaurants. The address 100 Clematis St, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 puts you right at the waterfront end near the Centennial Fountain.

For bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, or corporate happy hours, Clematis Street is the place to be. However, finding parking on a busy Saturday night is nearly impossible, and coordinating rideshares for a group of 20 or more creates logistical chaos and safety concerns. Renting a party bus or minibus from Charter Bus Rental Company West Palm Beach is the smartest decision you can make. We act as your designated driver for the entire evening. We can drop you off right in the middle of the action and pick you up at a pre-arranged time and location. Everyone gets home safely, no one has to worry about surge pricing, and the party vibe continues on the bus with our onboard sound systems and LED lighting.

Mounts Botanical Garden

Escape the concrete jungle and step into a tropical oasis at Mounts Botanical Garden. Located at 531 N Military Trl, West Palm Beach, FL 33415, this is Palm Beach County's oldest and largest public garden. With 25 unique garden areas containing over 6,000 species of tropical and subtropical plants, it is a serene destination for garden clubs, senior citizen groups, and photography classes.

The garden is located near the Palm Beach International Airport, making it an accessible stop, but traffic on Military Trail can be heavy. A charter bus rental provides a relaxing, elevated commute where your group can socialize before arriving. For senior groups or those with mobility concerns, our buses can provide curb-to-curb service, minimizing the walking distance to the entrance. If you are visiting for one of their plant sales or special exhibits, the ample storage space in our buses means there is plenty of room to bring back any plants or souvenirs you purchase. Let Charter Bus Rental Company West Palm Beach handle the traffic while you enjoy the tranquility of the gardens.

Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society

Located at 1301 Summit Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33405, the Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society houses more than 550 animals on 23 acres of lush tropical habitat. From Malayan tigers to Mexican spider monkeys and koalas, the zoo offers an intimate and engaging wildlife experience. It is a top-tier destination for elementary school field trips, summer camp outings, and family reunions.

Organizing a field trip involves a lot of moving parts—headcounts, lunches, chaperones, and schedules. Charter Bus Rental Company West Palm Beach takes the transportation worry off your plate. Unlike yellow school buses, our modern charter buses come with air conditioning (a must for a day at the zoo), reclining seats, and onboard entertainment systems to keep kids occupied during the drive. We can store all the packed lunches and coolers in the under-bus luggage bays, keeping the cabin clear. Your driver will drop the group off right at the ticketing gate and park in the designated bus area, ready to load up tired, happy students when the day is done.

Rapids Water Park

When the Florida heat hits its peak, there is only one place to go: Rapids Water Park. Located at 6566 N Military Trl, Riviera Beach, FL 33407, just north of West Palm Beach, this 30-acre park features 42 of the biggest, wettest, and most thrilling water slides and attractions. From the lazy river to the heart-pounding Big Thunder funnel, it is a favorite for graduation parties, sports team celebrations, and youth groups.

Transporting a large group of teenagers to a water park requires serious logistics. You have wet towels, changes of clothes, sunblock, and exhausted kids at the end of the day. A charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company West Palm Beach is the perfect solution. We offer plenty of space to store gear so it doesn't clutter the seats. After a long day in the sun, there is nothing better than climbing into a cool, climate-controlled bus with comfortable seats for the ride home. Avoid the chaos of the parking lot and let a driver handle the stress of Military Trail traffic while your group decompresses.
