More Buses, More Options for Your School Event Transportation

Through a large network of independently owned bus companies, you can compare 15-passenger minibuses, full-size motorcoaches, and everything in between — so the bus always fits the trip, not the other way around!

Minnesota Zoo Field Trips From Eagan Made Easy
With the Minnesota Zoo (13000 Zoo Blvd, Apple Valley, MN 55124) just five miles south of Eagan via Cedar Avenue (MN-77), it's one of the most popular and convenient field trip destinations for ISD 196 schools. Bus drop-off is near the main entrance on Zoo Boulevard, with large vehicle parking designated in the outer rows of Lot 1. The zoo requests advance reservations for school groups through their Group Sales office, so your transportation and your arrival plan can both be locked in early.
School groups must register at least 2 weeks before arrival, and the zoo's published bus parking rate is $15 per bus, compared with $10 per car for car or van parking; see the Minnesota Zoo field trip pricing and parking details before you set the day's transportation budget. A 15- to 56-passenger bus from the network keeps your whole class together on the short ride down — no carpooling, no stray cars, no parking scramble. Compare buses and pricing for your Minnesota Zoo field trip in seconds using the online quote tool!
You Get a Perfect Bus for Saint Paul Museum and History Field Trips
With Busrentaleagan.com, you get access to buses sized for every Saint Paul field trip destination on the calendar. The Science Museum of Minnesota (120 W Kellogg Blvd, Saint Paul, MN 55102) takes bus drop-off at the education entrance at Eagle and Chestnut streets from September through May, with no on-site bus parking — so your bus drops the class and stages along Kellogg or in the Science Museum Ramp (175 W Kellogg Blvd) until pickup. For field trips, everyone stays on the bus until a museum liaison comes out to greet the class, and buses return to the drop-off area when the reserved visit ends; the Science Museum of Minnesota parking and field trip bus instructions spell out the seasonal entrance.
The Minnesota History Center (345 W Kellogg Blvd, Saint Paul, MN 55102) uses the John Ireland Boulevard drop-off, with buses parking at the far side of the Kellogg Center lot at 328 Kellogg Blvd W starting October 5. The run up I-35E from Eagan takes 20 to 35 minutes off-peak — and 35 to 55 minutes during the 7–9am rush. Build that buffer in, and the day runs on schedule!
Cross the Metro to Mall of America and SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium
Cross the metro in comfort when your class is heading to Mall of America (60 E Broadway, Bloomington, MN 55425) for a field trip to SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium (120 E Broadway, Bloomington, MN 55425) or Nickelodeon Universe. Charter bus drop-off and parking for oversized vehicles is in the South Parking Ramp on Level 1, designated specifically for buses and RVs. The drive from Eagan runs about eight miles via I-35E to I-494 westbound — roughly 15 to 20 minutes off-peak, which makes it one of the easiest half-day field trip runs in the metro.
A full-size 56-passenger charter bus keeps your whole group together from the school parking lot to the aquarium entrance and back. Compare buses for your Mall of America field trip in seconds!
You'll Love How Easy Fort Snelling and State Park Field Trips Are
You'll love how straightforward it is to get your class out to Historic Fort Snelling (200 Tower Ave, Saint Paul, MN 55111) and Fort Snelling State Park (101 Snelling Lake Rd, Saint Paul, MN 55111) — both about ten miles north of Eagan via MN-77 to Highway 5. Bus drop-off and large vehicle parking are available at the Welcome Plaza during the school year, with the main parking lot about 0.2 miles from the Visitor Center, and the State Park's main lot accommodates buses with a day-use vehicle permit ($7 per vehicle, or annual pass). From the Welcome Plaza, the historic fort is about one third of a mile away, so a charter bus keeps the class together instead of splitting students among cars for the walk; the Historic Fort Snelling field trip bus directions identify the seasonal drop-off point.
School group tours at Historic Fort Snelling must be booked in advance through the Minnesota Historical Society, and ranger-led programs at the State Park are available with advance reservation. A charter bus from the network handles the group, the gear, and the parking — all in one flat trip. Get a quote in seconds!
When Your Class Is Heading to Valleyfair or the Arboretum
When the destination is Valleyfair, about 20 miles southwest of Eagan via I-35W to US-169, Valleyfair designates a specific bus and RV parking area separate from general guest parking near the main entrance — so your bus has a spot, and your class has a clear pickup point at the end of the day. Group rates are available for 15 or more guests, and school day packages can be arranged in advance. For a longer science or nature day, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum (3675 Arboretum Dr, Chaska, MN 55318) is about 30 miles west, with bus parking in the main lot near the Oswald Visitor Center.

Book as early as possible — ideally six to eight weeks out for most spring and fall field trips. September through October and April through May are peak field trip season across ISD 196 and ISD 197, and buses fill fast during those windows. Waiting until the last week before your trip date often means fewer vehicle options and higher pricing.
The earlier you compare and book, the more choices you'll have!

If your class includes students who need a wheelchair lift, wider aisle space, or other accessibility features, just mention it when you fill out your quote form or call 612-453-3660.
