A Group Travel Guide to Spokane, Washington's Best Destinations

Riverfront Park

Considered the jewel of downtown, Riverfront Park is the site of the 1974 World's Fair and serves as the ultimate gathering place for locals and visitors alike. Spanning 100 acres along the Spokane River, this park offers something for every demographic in your group. You can marvel at the magnificent Spokane Falls from the pedestrian suspension bridges, take a ride on the historic 1909 Looff Carrousel, or skate the mesmerizing Ice Ribbon in the winter months. The recently redeveloped U.S. Pavilion hosts summer concerts and light shows that are nothing short of spectacular. For groups, the park is immense, and having a central drop-off point is crucial. Instead of your group members hunting for expensive downtown street parking or getting separated in various garages, your Charter Bus Rental Company Spokane driver can drop you off right near the Rotary Fountain or the IMAX theater entrance.

If you are planning a corporate picnic or a large family reunion, Riverfront Park has numerous shelters and green spaces perfect for gathering. A charter bus rental allows you to bring along all your picnic supplies, coolers, and games in the undercarriage storage bays, keeping the cabin clutter-free. After a day of exploring the Numerica SkyRide or feeding the famous "Garbage Goat" sculpture, your air-conditioned bus will be waiting to whisk you away to dinner or your hotel. It is the stress-free way to experience the heart of the city.

Manito Park

Located in the majestic South Hill neighborhood, Manito Park is a 90-acre public park that feels like a horticultural museum. It features five distinct garden areas, including the Nishinomiya Tsutakawa Japanese Garden, the formal Duncan Garden (which rivals European palace gardens), and the vibrant Rose Hill. It is a favorite destination for wedding photos, senior portraits, and botanical enthusiasts. However, the South Hill is known for its winding, sometimes narrow roads, and parking around Manito can be tight, especially on weekends when the flowers are in bloom. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Spokane is the ideal solution. We can navigate the residential streets safely and drop your group off at the main entrance near the Gaiser Conservatory.

For school groups or garden clubs, Manito Park offers endless educational opportunities. The Gaiser Conservatory is filled with exotic tropical plants and seasonal floral displays year-round, making it a great stop even in the colder months. Because the park is spread out, having a charter bus means you can easily move your group from the Mirror Pond at one end to the Japanese Garden at the other without exhausting your party with excessive walking. Once you have soaked in the floral beauty, your driver can take you to the nearby Rockwood Bakery or South Perry District for a bite to eat.

Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture (The MAC)

For groups interested in the deep history and culture of the Inland Northwest, the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture (affectionately known as "The MAC") is a mandatory stop. Located in the historic Browne's Addition neighborhood, the museum features five underground galleries exhibiting regional history, American Indian culture, and visual arts. The campus also includes the Campbell House, a restored 1898 neoclassical home that offers a glimpse into the life of one of Spokane's most prominent mining families at the turn of the 20th century. This is a premier destination for school field trips and senior tour groups alike.

Booking a charter bus for a trip to The MAC ensures that your entire class or tour group arrives simultaneously, allowing for a cohesive start to your guided tours. We work with educators and tour organizers to ensure timing is precise. While Browne's Addition is a beautiful neighborhood filled with historic mansions, parking a dozen parent volunteer cars can be a nightmare. A single motorcoach keeps everyone together and safe. After your museum visit, your bus can easily transport you to Coeur d'Alene Park nearby for a sack lunch or head downtown for further exploration.

Green Bluff Growers

Just about 15 minutes north of Spokane lies Green Bluff, a collection of small family farms that offers a unique agricultural experience. This loop of farms is incredibly popular, especially during the fall for the Apple Festival and pumpkin picking, or in the summer for cherry and strawberry seasons. Green Bluff features everything from High Country Orchard to Beck's Harvest House, offering fresh produce, famous pumpkin donuts, live music, and corn mazes. However, anyone in Spokane will tell you: the traffic loop at Green Bluff during peak season can be intense. Coordinating a convoy of five or six cars here is a recipe for getting separated.

A private charter bus rental is the absolute best way to experience Green Bluff. Your group can relax, chat, and enjoy the scenery while a driver handles the slow-moving traffic on the farm loop. We can create a custom itinerary that hits all your favorite farms—maybe a stop for u-pick apples at one farm, lunch at a bistro at another, and a visit to a brewery or meadery to cap off the day. With plenty of storage space under the bus, every passenger can bring home boxes of fresh fruit, pies, and pumpkins without crowding their feet. Let Charter Bus Rental Company Spokane be your designated driver for a day of country fun.

Gonzaga University & The McCarthey Athletic Center

Spokane is undeniably a basketball town, and the heart of that passion beats at Gonzaga University. Whether you are a prospective student group touring the beautiful campus, an alumni association coming back for a reunion, or a group of die-hard fans heading to a game at the McCarthey Athletic Center (The Kennel), we have your transportation covered. The energy on game day is electric, but the parking situation can be chaotic. By renting a charter bus, your group can avoid the high cost of event parking and the long walk to the arena. We can drop you off within walking distance of the entrance and pick you up immediately after the final buzzer.

Beyond sports, the university campus is home to the stunning St. Aloysius Church and the Jundt Art Museum. If you are organizing a college tour for high school students from Seattle, Portland, or Boise, a charter bus is the most efficient way to travel. Students can bond on the ride over, watch educational videos on the onboard TVs, and utilize the WiFi to work on assignments. We can easily combine a tour of Gonzaga with visits to Whitworth University and Eastern Washington University for a comprehensive higher-education tour of the region.

Mount Spokane State Park

For outdoor enthusiasts, Mount Spokane State Park offers year-round adventure just an hour from downtown. In the winter, it is a haven for skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing at the Mt. Spokane Ski & Snowboard Park. In the summer, the park opens up miles of hiking and biking trails, along with the scenic drive to the Vista House at the summit, which offers panoramic views of Washington, Idaho, and Montana. However, mountain driving—especially in winter conditions—can be intimidating for those unfamiliar with the roads or lacking the proper vehicles.

When you hire Charter Bus Rental Company Spokane, you get a vehicle equipped for the journey and a driver know how to navigate mountain terrain. We transport ski clubs, scout troops, and corporate retreat groups to the mountain safely and warmly. There is plenty of room in our full-size charter buses for skis, snowboards, poles, and heavy winter gear in the undercarriage luggage bays. After a long day on the slopes or trails, your group can rest their tired legs in reclining seats and warm up in a climate-controlled cabin while we handle the drive back down the mountain.

Mobius Discovery Center

If you are planning a trip for younger students or a youth group, the Mobius Discovery Center is a must-visit destination located right across from Riverfront Park. This hands-on science center is designed to spark curiosity with exhibits on physics, engineering, and the human body. It is an engaging, high-energy environment perfect for field trips. However, coordinating a field trip involves a lot of moving parts, and comfort is the top priority. Our charter buses offer a significant upgrade over traditional yellow school buses.

With Charter Bus Rental Company Spokane, you get seatbelts (available on most models), air conditioning, and a smoother ride. Teachers and chaperones can easily keep track of students as they board and exit the single vehicle at the designated group entrance. Because Mobius is located in the heart of downtown near the Spokane Public Library, having a driver means you don't have to worry about finding parking for multiple vehicles in a busy urban environment. We drop you at the door and return when you are ready to head back to school or off to lunch.

Mobius Discovery Center 331 N Post St, Spokane, WA 99201

Spokane Arena

The Spokane Arena is the premier venue for big-ticket entertainment in the Inland Northwest. From hosting the Spokane Chiefs hockey team to major concerts by touring superstars and monster truck rallies, this is where the action happens. If you are planning a group outing for a concert or a corporate box event for a hockey game, transportation should be the least of your worries. Traffic jams exiting the arena parking lots are legendary, often taking considerable time to clear. With a private bus rental, your group avoids the separation that happens when driving multiple cars.

A party bus or minibus is perfect for a night out at the Arena. You can pre-game on the bus (if all passengers are of age), listen to music to get hyped for the concert, and enjoy the camaraderie of your group. Your driver will drop you off near the entrance so you can skip the long walk from the outer lots. When the event is over, your warm bus will be waiting. It is the safest and most convenient way to enjoy nightlife and entertainment in Spokane.
