Kimberly Crest House & Gardens

If you are looking for a storybook setting for a group tour or a wedding, look no further than the Kimberly Crest House & Gardens. This French Château-style Victorian mansion is a designated California Historical Landmark and offers a glimpse into the luxurious lives of the early 20th century. Groups love visiting for guided docent tours to learn about the Kimberly family (founders of Kimberly-Clark) and exploring the impeccable Italian Renaissance-style gardens. However, parking at this historic hillside estate can be tight and difficult to navigate for a caravan of cars. When you book a wedding shuttle or tour bus with Charter Bus Redlands, your driver can drop your group off right at the gate for easy access. We can shuttle guests from local hotels directly to the estate for ceremonies, ensuring everyone arrives on time and ready to celebrate without the stress of navigating the winding driveway.

Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival

Since 1924, the Redlands Bowl has hosted the oldest continuously running music festival in the United States where no admission is charged. It is a beloved local tradition, but attending with a large group can be a logistical nightmare due to limited street parking in the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Skip the endless circling for a parking spot and rent a charter bus for your church group, senior community, or family reunion. Your Charter Bus Redlands driver can drop your group off near the Eureka Street entrance, allowing you to claim your bench seats or set up your picnic blankets early. While you enjoy a night of symphony, opera, or musical theater under the stars, your bus will be parked safely nearby, ready to pick you up the moment the encore finishes. It is the most convenient way to enjoy world-class entertainment in the heart of Redlands.

San Bernardino County Museum

For educators planning a field trip in the Inland Empire, the San Bernardino County Museum is a premier destination for learning about regional history, anthropology, and natural sciences. From the Hall of History to the desert gardens, there is plenty to explore. Upgrade your school transportation from a cramped, hot yellow school bus to a modern charter bus rental from Charter Bus Redlands. Your students will appreciate the climate-controlled cabin during the hot Redlands months, and you can utilize the onboard DVD players and TV screens to show educational documentaries on the way to the museum. With plenty of undercarriage storage for lunch coolers and backpacks, the aisles stay clear and safe. We have extensive experience working with the Redlands Unified School District and private schools in the area to provide safe, reliable, and Department of Defense-approved transportation for student groups of all sizes.

The Lincoln Memorial Shrine

Did you know Redlands is home to the only museum and research center dedicated to Abraham Lincoln and the American Civil War west of the Mississippi River? The Lincoln Memorial Shrine is a fascinating stop for history buffs, veterans' groups, and educational tours. Located in Smiley Park behind the A.K. Smiley Public Library, this unique octagonal building houses manuscripts, artifacts, and memorabilia. Parking in the library lot can be scarce, especially during weekends or special events. A minibus rental is the perfect solution for transporting your history club or tour group. Your driver can navigate the downtown streets effortlessly and drop you off curbside. Afterward, your group can enjoy a picnic in Smiley Park before heading to your next destination. With Charter Bus Redlands, you can easily build a custom itinerary that includes the Shrine, the library, and other historic downtown landmarks.

Hangar 24 Craft Brewery

Located at the Redlands Municipal Airport, Hangar 24 is a staple of the Southern California craft beer scene and a fantastic destination for corporate outings, bachelor parties, or birthday celebrations. Known for their "Orange Wheat" and aviation-themed atmosphere, it is a great spot to relax and watch planes take off. However, enjoying a brewery tour responsibly requires a designated driver. When you rent a party bus or minibus from Charter Bus Redlands, you ensure that everyone in your group can sample the flights and pints without worrying about the drive home. We can organize a brewery crawl that starts at Hangar 24 and moves to other local favorites like Ritual Brewing Co. or Escape Craft Brewery. Your private bus serves as your safe, reliable ride, complete with air conditioning and comfortable seats to relax in between stops.

Historic Downtown Redlands & State Street

Downtown Redlands, anchored by State Street, offers a vibrant mix of antique shops, boutiques, and highly-rated restaurants. It is also home to the famous Thursday Night Market Night, which draws huge crowds and closes down several streets. If you are organizing a shopping trip, a corporate dinner, or a group outing to Market Night, a charter bus is your best friend. Parking structures and street spots fill up instantly during peak times. Charter Bus Redlands can drop your group off at a convenient location near the Redlands Mall or the Citrus Valley High School area (depending on road closures), allowing you to explore the Umbrella Alley or grab a bite at The Tartan or Caprice Cafe on foot. Once your group has shopped and dined to their heart's content, your climate-controlled bus will be waiting to whisk you away, saving you the hassle of carrying heavy shopping bags long distances to a parked car.

University of Redlands

Whether you are a high school counselor arranging a campus tour for prospective students or an athletic director coordinating travel for an away game against the Bulldogs, Charter Bus Redlands is the expert in university transportation. The University of Redlands boasts a beautiful campus, but navigating it with a convoy of vans or cars can be confusing. We provide efficient campus shuttles that can drop students off at the Admissions Office, the Memorial Chapel, or Ted Runner Stadium. For sports teams, our 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with massive undercarriage luggage bays perfect for storing football gear, lacrosse sticks, and training equipment. Players can rest in reclining seats and charge their devices with individual power outlets, ensuring they arrive at the game rested and focused. We also handle transportation for Greek life events, alumni reunions, and graduation ceremonies.

Prospect Park

For a more serene group outing, Prospect Park offers over 11 acres of natural beauty, trails, and orange groves on the south side of Redlands. It is home to the Avice Meeker Sewall Theater, an outdoor amphitheater that hosts the Redlands Theatre Festival every summer. If you are planning a group picnic, a photography club excursion, or a theater outing, let us handle the drive up the hill. The park is located in a residential area with winding roads, making it difficult to coordinate a large caravan of personal vehicles. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Redlands can keep your group together. We can drop you off near the carriage house or the trails, allowing your group to enjoy the panoramic views of the San Bernardino Valley without the stress of parking logistics. It is the perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon before heading back to the hustle and bustle of daily life.
