Bringing a full grade level to Woodland Park Zoo (5500 Phinney Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103)?

Charter Buses to KidsQuest, Bellevue Arts Museum, and Downtown Bellevue Venues
Find exactly what your group needs for field trips to downtown Bellevue's most popular school destinations! KidsQuest Children's Museum (1116 108th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004) is one of the Eastside's most-visited field trip stops for K–5 groups, with bus drop-off available on 108th Ave NE and staging in the nearby Bellevue Collection garages. Just a few blocks away, Bellevue Arts Museum (510 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue, WA 98004) continues limited community events and programs after selling its physical building to KidsQuest Children's Museum.
Downtown Bellevue streets handle full-size coaches, but a 15- to 35-passenger minibus is the more maneuverable pick when your itinerary includes multiple stops along NE 8th Street and Bellevue Way NE. Compare your options in seconds and find the right bus for your downtown Bellevue field trip day!
Minibuses and Motorcoaches to Kelsey Creek Farm and Bellevue Botanical Garden
If your class is heading to one of Bellevue's beloved city-operated nature destinations, the right bus makes a real difference. Kelsey Creek Farm is a working farm with animals and a compact on-site parking lot accessed via 130th Pl SE — no bus may enter either parking lot, even for drop-off, so your bus parks along the road near the playground on the west side of the park and your group walks in, as detailed in the Kelsey Creek Farm school-tour bus instructions. Bellevue Botanical Garden (12001 Main St, Bellevue, WA 98005) offers 53 acres of cultivated gardens, free admission, and a main parking lot off Main St that can accommodate larger vehicles.
Both destinations are popular for fall environmental education trips in September and October — and spring science trips in April and May. Book early, because Bellevue School District field trip season fills fast!
Seattle Field Trip Buses: Pacific Science Center, Woodland Park Zoo, and More
Browse full-size motorcoaches and minibuses for the most popular cross-lake field trips Bellevue schools make every year! Pacific Science Center (200 2nd Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109) sits on the Seattle Center campus, where designated 15-minute charter bus loading zones and a 3-hour bus parking area are available per the Seattle Center school and charter bus zone map. The 15-minute charter-bus zone is along Mercer St at Warren Ave N, while the 3-hour bus parking zone sits by the 5th & Mercer Building on Republican St. Your bus unloads in the Mercer/Warren zone, then uses the Republican Street bus area when you need the longer parking window.
Woodland Park Zoo directs bus and RV parking to the Lion Lot only, with a $14 maximum daily rate paid at self-serve kiosks, and student drop-off at the South Entrance at 750 N 50th St. Most Bellevue-to-Seattle runs cross SR-520 — note that the SR-520 bridge toll applies to all vehicles including charter buses, with rates ranging from $1.25 to $5.45 depending on time and direction, and that cost is not included in your bus quote.
Museum of Flight and Tacoma Field Trip Charter Buses
With so many incredible destinations south of Bellevue, a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach is the right call for longer field trip runs down I-405 and I-5. Museum of Flight (9404 E Marginal Way S, Seattle, WA 98108) is Washington's largest air and space museum and one of the most popular field trip destinations for Bellevue-area middle and high school science classes — the main lot off E Marginal Way S accommodates full-size motorcoaches, and advance group reservations are required. The Museum of Flight's on-site parking is free, so your bus can stay on campus between arrival and pickup without adding a venue parking cost; the Museum of Flight parking and directions page carries the current access details.
Further south, Washington State History Museum (1911 Pacific Ave, Tacoma, WA 98402) and Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium (5400 N Pearl St, Tacoma, WA 98407) are about 40–50 miles from Bellevue — a comfortable motorcoach run with reclining seats, overhead storage, onboard restrooms, and undercarriage luggage bays. Compare motorcoaches for your Tacoma field trip in seconds using the online quote tool!
Burke Museum, Seattle Aquarium, and University District Field Trip Buses
Cross-lake field trips to Seattle's University District and waterfront are a staple for Bellevue School District and Lake Washington School District groups alike. Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture (4300 15th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98195) on the UW campus offers school programs in natural history and Indigenous cultures, with bus drop-off on 15th Ave NE and designated bus zones on the UW campus — confirm current staging with UW Transportation before your visit. Seattle Aquarium (1519 Alaskan Way, Pier 62, Seattle, WA 98101) sits on the redeveloped central waterfront, with bus drop-off on Alaskan Way — confirm current access with the venue given ongoing waterfront changes.
Both runs cross I-90 or SR-520 from Bellevue, and a 25- to 35-passenger minibus is a great fit for smaller class groups heading to either destination. Compare your options and get instant pricing in under 30 seconds!

Per the Woodland Park Zoo parking policy, buses and RVs park in the Lion Lot only, with a $14 maximum daily rate paid at self-serve kiosks in each lot or at the West gate entrance. Student drop-off is at the South Entrance at 750 N 50th St, Seattle, WA 98103, near the African Savanna exhibit. The Lion Lot has six first-come, first-served oversize bus spaces, parking is not guaranteed, and Lower Woodland Park is a free gravel overflow lot that is not monitored by zoo security; see the Woodland Park Zoo field-trip bus driver sheet for the access route.
Confirm current lot availability with the zoo before your visit, as assignments can shift by season.
Yes. The SR-520 bridge toll applies to all vehicles, including charter buses. Rates range from $1.25 to $5.45 depending on the time of day and direction of travel.
This toll is not included in your bus rental quote from Bellevuecharterbusservices.com, so factor it into your field trip budget when planning a cross-lake trip to Seattle destinations like Pacific Science Center or Woodland Park Zoo.
Book as early as possible — ideally two to four months before your field trip date. Spring field trip season in Bellevue and across the Eastside peaks in April through June, when Bellevue School District, Lake Washington School District, and Issaquah School District groups are all competing for the same buses on the same dates. Waiting until the last minute means higher prices and fewer vehicle options.
Call 425-365-0270 right now to lock in your date!
A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is the better pick for Kelsey Creek Farm. No bus may enter either on-site parking lot, even for drop-off, so your bus parks along the road near the playground on the west side of the park while your class walks in. If your group is larger, consider splitting into two minibuses rather than forcing a full coach into a tight lot.
Mention your headcount when you request your quote!
Absolutely! Bellevuecharterbusservices.com helps you find field trip transportation starting from Redmond, Kirkland, Issaquah, Sammamish, Renton, Mercer Island, Bothell, Kenmore, Woodinville, and every community across King County and the Eastside.
