A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Munsinger and Clemens Gardens
If there is one destination that defines the beauty of St. Cloud, it is the Munsinger and Clemens Gardens. Located along the banks of the Mississippi River across from St. Cloud State University, this attraction is actually two distinct gardens that offer a peaceful retreat for nature lovers, wedding parties, and tour groups. The Munsinger Gardens, dating back to the 1930s, offer a more informal, shady setting with towering pines and winding paths perfect for a relaxing stroll. Adjacent to it is the Clemens Gardens, famous for its six formal garden areas, including the Virginia Clemens Rose Garden which features over 1,100 rose bushes. It is a spectacular sight in the summer months and a prime location for photography.
Visiting with a large group? Parking can be a significant challenge here, especially during peak bloom times or on weekends when weddings are taking place. The parking lots are relatively small and fill up quickly. By booking a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company St. Cloud, you can bypass the parking stress entirely. Your driver can drop your group off right near the entrance gates on Kilian Boulevard, allowing elderly guests or those with mobility issues easy access to the brick pathways. While you explore the fountains and floral arrangements, your bus will park off-site and return to pick you up exactly when you are ready. It is the most stress-free way to enjoy one of the most beautiful spots in Central Minnesota.

Quarry Park and Nature Preserve
For groups looking to experience the unique geological history of the area, Quarry Park and Nature Preserve is an absolute must-visit. St. Cloud isn't called "The Granite City" for nothing, and this 683-acre park showcases the area's granite mining heritage beautifully. The park features over 20 quarries, two of which are designated for swimming during the summer months. These swimming quarries are incredibly popular for youth groups, sports teams looking to cool off, and summer camps. Beyond swimming, the park offers miles of hiking trails, rock climbing opportunities, and even cross-country skiing in the winter. It’s an outdoor enthusiast’s playground located just minutes from the city center in nearby Waite Park.
Transporting a group of energetic students or a corporate team building crew to Quarry Park is made infinitely easier with a private bus rental. School buses are fine, but a charter bus offers air conditioning (essential after a day of hiking or swimming) and plenty of undercarriage storage for coolers, towels, hiking gear, and picnic supplies. We can arrange for a drop-off near the Derrick Way entrance so your group can head straight for the trails or the swimming holes. After a day of exertion, there is nothing better than sinking into a reclining seat in a climate-controlled cabin for the ride back to your hotel or school. Let Charter Bus Rental Company St. Cloud handle the logistics while you handle the adventure.
Address: 1802 Co Rd 137, Waite Park, MN 56387
Stearns History Museum
Immerse your group in the rich cultural heritage of Central Minnesota at the Stearns History Museum. As a nationally accredited museum and a Smithsonian Affiliate, this destination offers high-quality exhibits that connect local history to broader national themes. The museum is situated within a 100-acre nature park, offering a blend of indoor education and outdoor beauty. Exhibits often rotate but frequently cover topics like the granite industry, the influence of the Mississippi River, and the diverse immigrant communities that have shaped Stearns County. It is a fantastic destination for educational field trips, senior citizen tour groups, and anyone interested in the stories of the past.
When you book a field trip or group tour to the Stearns History Museum with Charter Bus Rental Company St. Cloud, we ensure the logistics are seamless. We know that teachers and tour directors have enough to worry about without tracking headcounts across multiple cars. Our buses provide a safe, unified travel method. We can pull right up to the main entrance for easy loading and unloading. Plus, if your group plans to explore the surrounding Heritage Park trails or utilize the skateboard park nearby, the bus serves as a perfect central hub for storing lunches and backpacks. Make your educational outing comfortable and efficient with our premium transportation services.

The Paramount Center for the Arts
Located in the heart of historic downtown St. Cloud, the Paramount Center for the Arts is a cultural jewel. This restored 1921 theatre hosts everything from Broadway-style musicals and concerts to comedy shows and local community theatre productions. The visual arts center located in the basement also offers classes and gallery exhibitions. For groups traveling for an evening of entertainment, the Paramount is the premier destination in the region. Whether you are organizing a trip for a senior center, a company holiday outing, or a student arts appreciation trip, the atmosphere at the Paramount never disappoints.
However, anyone familiar with downtown St. Cloud knows that parking can be a hassle, especially during a sold-out show. Street parking is limited, and navigating parking ramps with a large group can lead to delays and separation. By renting a shuttle bus or motorcoach, your group receives VIP treatment. Your driver can drop you off directly in front of the marquee on West St. Germain Street, allowing you to walk straight into the lobby without worrying about meters or icy sidewalks in the winter. After the curtain call, your warm bus will be waiting to whisk you away to a late-night dinner or back to your accommodations. It transforms a night out into a truly luxurious experience.

Herb Brooks National Hockey Center
In Minnesota, hockey is more than just a sport; it is a way of life. The Herb Brooks National Hockey Center (HBNHC), located on the campus of St. Cloud State University, is hallowed ground for sports fans. Named after the legendary coach of the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" Olympic team, this facility is home to the SCSU Huskies men's and women's hockey teams. The electric atmosphere during a Huskies game is something every sports fan should experience. The venue also hosts concerts, figure skating events, and other university functions throughout the year.
Charter Bus Rental Company St. Cloud is the ideal transportation partner for sports teams and fan groups alike. If you are bringing a youth hockey team to a tournament or a group of alumni to a big game against a rival like North Dakota or Minnesota-Duluth, a charter bus is the way to go. Our buses feature ample undercarriage storage for bulky hockey bags, sticks, and tailgating gear. Fans can enjoy the game without worrying about the post-game traffic jams on 4th Avenue. We can coordinate pick-ups from local sports bars or hotels, ensuring your entire cheering section arrives together, pumped up, and ready to support the team.
Address: 1204 4th Ave S, St Cloud, MN 56301
Summerland Family Fun Park
If you are planning a trip for a youth group, a school end-of-year party, or a company picnic with families, Summerland Family Fun Park is the ultimate destination in the St. Cloud area. Located just east of the city on Highway 23, Summerland offers a wide variety of activities including go-karts, mini-golf, batting cages, bumper boats, and a giant water slide. It is a classic Americana fun park that provides hours of entertainment for kids and adults alike. It’s particularly popular for summer camp field trips and birthday parties.
Transporting a busload of excited children requires safety and organization, which is exactly what Charter Bus Rental Company St. Cloud provides. Instead of coordinating a dozen parent volunteers to drive separate vehicles, you can keep the entire group contained and supervised on a single bus. The drivers prioritize comfort above all else. We can drop your group right at the ticket booth so the fun can start immediately. Plus, the air-conditioned bus provides a welcome respite for chaperones or tired kids after a long day in the sun. Make your Summerland excursion simple and safe with our reliable bus rental services.

St. Cloud River's Edge Convention Center
For corporate travelers and convention attendees, the St. Cloud River's Edge Convention Center is the focal point of business in the city. Overlooking the Mississippi River in downtown, this facility hosts major trade shows, state conferences, weddings, and large-scale banquets. It connects directly to several hotels and is within walking distance of downtown’s best restaurants and bars. Whether you are organizing a statewide conference or a regional sales meeting, the River's Edge is likely on your itinerary.
Charter Bus Rental Company St. Cloud specializes in corporate transportation and convention shuttles. If you have attendees flying into Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) or the local St. Cloud Regional Airport (STC), we can provide seamless airport transfers directly to the convention center or nearby hotels. We can also run continuous shuttle loops between overflow hotels and the River's Edge, ensuring that your attendees never miss a keynote speaker or a breakout session. Our buses can be equipped with WiFi and power outlets, allowing professionals to stay productive and connected while on the move.

Beaver Island Brewing Company
For adult groups looking to get a taste of the local flavor, Beaver Island Brewing Company is a standout destination.

Frequently Asked Questions About St. Cloud Group Travel Transportation
How far in advance should I book my charter bus for a St. Cloud trip?
We generally recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date is confirmed to ensure availability and the best pricing. For trips during peak seasons—such as spring for school field trips or summer for weddings—we suggest booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance. However, Charter Bus Rental Company St. Cloud can often accommodate last-minute requests, so please call us at 701-552-6430 to check availability regardless of your timeline.
Can we bring food and drinks on the bus?
Yes, most of our charter bus partners allow food and drinks on board. This is perfect for keeping your group energized during a trip to Quarry Park or enjoying snacks on the way to a Huskies game. We generally ask that you avoid glass containers and messy foods to keep the bus clean for your comfort. It often requires a refundable deposit. Be sure to confirm your specific policy with our reservation specialist when booking.
Do you provide service to towns surrounding St. Cloud?
Absolutely! While we love St. Cloud, we serve the entire Central Minnesota region and beyond. Whether your group is starting in Sartell, Sauk Rapids, Waite Park, St. Joseph, or Foley, we can arrange pickups and drop-offs wherever you need them. We also handle long-distance trips to Minneapolis, Duluth, or even out of state. Our goal is to provide door-to-door service that fits your specific itinerary, no matter where it begins or ends.
Is a charter bus safe for travel during Minnesota winters?
Safety is our number one priority at Charter Bus Rental Company St. Cloud. We understand that Minnesota winters can be tough, with snow and ice affecting road conditions. The buses are well-equipped to handle winter weather, and the drivers know how to navigate snowy roads comfortably. You can rest easy knowing that your group is in capable hands, traveling in a warm, climate-controlled vehicle regardless of the temperature outside.
How is the cost of a charter bus rental determined?
The cost of your rental depends on several factors, including the size of the bus (minibus vs. full-sized coach), the duration of your trip (hourly, daily, or multi-day), the distance traveled, and the time of year. For example, a local wedding shuttle in St. Cloud will be priced differently than a multi-day tour across the state. When you call us at 701-552-6430 with your itinerary details, we provide a transparent, all-inclusive quote so you know exactly what to expect with no additional fees.
