More Buses, More Options for Your School Event Transportation
Different trips call for different buses, and through the network, you'll find them all. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is perfect for a smaller class heading to the McKenna Children's Museum on W San Antonio Street — compact enough to navigate Loop 337 and pull up near a street-level drop-off. A 56-passenger charter bus handles the bigger runs: a full grade level heading to the San Antonio Zoo, a science department trip to Wonder World Cave in San Marcos, or a history class making the trip up I-35 to the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin.
Buses in the network commonly include climate control and overhead storage, and ADA-accessible vehicles are available — just mention it when you request your quote. Compare your options side by side and find what fits your group!

Charter Buses for Natural Bridge Caverns Field Trips
Natural Bridge Caverns (26495 Natural Bridge Caverns Rd, San Antonio, TX 78266) is a popular field trip destination for Texas schools, with educational cavern tours and school activities. The official school-tour information notes that school bus parking is free, and the attraction's parking information asks oversized vehicles, including buses, to use the uppermost section of the parking lot. Group reservations are required, and the official field trip planner states that each Discovery Tour holds a maximum of 50 people, with groups departing every 8 to 12 minutes.

School Buses for San Antonio Zoo and Museum Field Trips
The San Antonio Zoo (3903 N St Mary's St, San Antonio, TX 78212) is a straightforward run south on I-35 from New Braunfels, although morning traffic can affect arrival times. One charter bus leaves campus on time and arrives together; a carpool of parent drivers doesn't. At the zoo, the official field-trip information lists bus parking on Tuleta Drive, under Highway 281 and across from the Group Entrance.
Heading to the DoSeum (2800 Broadway, San Antonio, TX 78209), the McNay Art Museum (6000 N New Braunfels Ave, San Antonio, TX 78209), or the San Antonio Museum of Art (200 W Jones Ave, San Antonio, TX 78215) instead? The network has buses sized for any San Antonio field trip destination. Compare options and get estimated pricing now!
Buses for Alamo and San Antonio History Field Trips
A Texas history field trip doesn't get more iconic than the Alamo (300 Alamo Plaza, San Antonio, TX 78205) — and the logistics around Alamo Plaza are exactly where a charter bus earns its keep. The Alamo does not provide parking; downtown San Antonio offers nearby public garages, surface lots, and street parking. School groups should coordinate their bus drop-off and pickup plan with the field-trip itinerary rather than expecting on-site bus parking.
Pair the Alamo with a stop at the San Antonio River Walk or the Institute of Texan Cultures (801 E César E. Chávez Blvd, San Antonio, TX 78205) and the bus handles every stop on your custom itinerary. Fill out the form to compare buses for your San Antonio history trip in seconds!
Charter Buses for Austin Educational Field Trips
Austin is north of New Braunfels via I-35, and TxDOT's I-35 Capital Express construction projects include active work in the Austin area, with the Capital Express South project anticipated to continue through late 2028, weather permitting. One charter bus with a driver assigned through an independent operator lets teachers focus on the group instead of navigating work-zone lane shifts in personal vehicles. At the Bullock Texas State History Museum (1800 Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78701), school groups with advance reservations receive free admission, and the museum's official bus route map directs buses to marked loading zones before leaving the downtown Capitol Complex area because there is no bus parking near the museum.
The Blanton Museum of Art (200 E Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Austin, TX 78712) has a designated museum drop-off area, but its official school-visit information says bus parking nearby is extremely limited. The LBJ Presidential Library (2313 Red River St, Austin, TX 78705) provides bus drop-off and pickup near the breezeway and directs buses to visitor lot #38, according to its field-trip guidelines. Compare charter buses for your Austin field trip now!
Minibuses for McKenna Children's Museum and Local New Braunfels Field Trips
Not every field trip means a highway run to San Antonio or Austin. The McKenna Children's Museum (801 W San Antonio St, New Braunfels, TX 78130) is a hands-on destination right in town, and the McKenna Foundation confirms the address through its official contact page. A 15- to 25-passenger minibus is exactly the right tool for a single-classroom trip across New Braunfels — nimble enough to handle Loop 337 and the streets around downtown, and comfortable enough that students arrive ready to learn instead of stiff from a long ride.
Landa Park (164 Landa Park Dr, New Braunfels, TX 78130) works the same way: a short bus run for an outdoor science or nature-walk day, with the whole class together from pickup to drop-off. Local trips are quick to price — enter your date and group size to see minibus options from the network in seconds, or call 830-302-2770 for a custom quote!
Buses for Wonder World Cave and Wimberley Field Trips
Wonder World Cave & Adventure Park (1000 Prospect St, San Marcos, TX 78666) sits north of New Braunfels off I-35 and describes its cave as an earthquake-formed destination, making it a natural fit for earth science field trips. The park's official field-trip information says its fully guided group experience takes about two hours, and the park's FAQ confirms that parking is free. Group reservations are accepted for school outings, with scheduling restrictions that can vary by season.
The short hop up I-35 to San Marcos is manageable, but coordinating multiple parent vehicles across exits and a parking lot is still a headache a charter bus can eliminate. While you're in the area, Wimberley offers outdoor education stops like the Blue Hole Regional Park for environmental science days. Compare minibuses and charter buses for your San Marcos or Wimberley field trip — one form, estimated pricing, no account required!

Travel time on I-35 southbound varies by the time of day, construction, weather, and current traffic conditions.

Start comparing options as soon as your school has a confirmed date, especially for spring field trips and dates shared with other school-year activities. Requesting transportation several weeks in advance gives you more time to compare available vehicle types, pickup schedules, and estimated pricing. For a specific date, earlier planning generally gives your group more flexibility.
Yes, and multi-stop pickup loops can be arranged for field trips across Comal County. A bus can loop from a New Braunfels ISD campus to a Comal ISD campus before heading to the destination — just list your stops in order when you fill out the quote form, or give them to an agent at 830-302-2770. Ask the transportation provider to account for each additional stop when working backward from your scheduled arrival time at the venue.

Enter your exact headcount — students plus every chaperone — into the quote form and the results page will show vehicles sized to your group.
Undersizing costs you a second bus; oversizing costs you money on space nobody's using.
