A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Heritage Park
For history buffs, school groups, and photography enthusiasts, Heritage Park is the crown jewel of Santa Fe Springs. This sprawling, 6-acre historical park is a reconstruction of a late 19th-century ranch estate and offers a tangible link to the region's agricultural past. Groups can explore the beautifully restored carriage barn, the windmill, the tank house, and the magnificent conservatory. It is a fantastic destination for educational field trips where students can learn about the Tongva people, the Mexican ranchos, and the Victorian era of California.
Why visit by bus? Parking can be limited for multiple vehicles during peak hours or special events like the bustling Friday Farmers Market. A charter bus rental allows your group to be dropped off right at the entrance at 12100 Mora Dr, Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670. While your group explores the meticulously manicured gardens or sets up for a picnic near the steam engine exhibit, your driver will handle the parking logistics. After a day of walking through history, your group will appreciate climbing aboard a climate-controlled bus, resting their feet, and reviewing the photos they took of this picturesque landmark.
The Clarke Estate
If you are planning a wedding, a sophisticated corporate mixer, or a large family reunion, The Clarke Estate is one of the most stunning architectural venues in Southern California. Designed by renowned architect Irving Gill in the early 1900s, this concrete home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and features elegant arches, courtyards, and expansive lawns perfect for outdoor ceremonies. It offers a private, intimate setting that feels miles away from the hustle of Los Angeles, yet it is conveniently located right in the heart of Santa Fe Springs.
Transportation Tips: Coordinating guest arrivals for a wedding can be stressful. By booking a wedding shuttle service with Charter Bus Rental Company Santa Fe Springs, you ensure that every guest arrives at 10211 Pioneer Blvd, Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670 on time and ready to celebrate. Avoid the worry of guests getting lost off I-5 or struggling to find the entrance. We can shuttle guests from nearby hotels in Norwalk or Downey directly to the estate. Plus, with a driver acting as the designated driver for the evening, your guests can enjoy the champagne toast and reception festivities responsibly.
Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet
For a high-energy group outing involving shopping, live entertainment, and great food, the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet is a legendary destination. This isn't just a flea market; it's a cultural experience. Open multiple days a week (and famous for its Friday night events), the Swap Meet features hundreds of vendors selling everything from clothing and electronics to tools and toys. It also hosts live bands playing everything from rock en español to tribute hits, making it a lively spot for a casual corporate outing or a large family gathering.
Group Travel Benefits: The Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet is located at 13963 Alondra Blvd, Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670. Anyone who has visited on a weekend knows that the parking lot can be massive and chaotic. Skip the hassle of finding ten different parking spots for your caravan. A charter bus can drop your entire group near the entrance so you can get straight to the bargains and the music. Plus, with the ample undercarriage storage available on our 56-passenger motorcoaches, your group will have plenty of room to stash their haul of vintage finds, new clothes, and souvenirs for the ride home.
Golf N' Stuff
Just on the border of Santa Fe Springs and Norwalk lies one of the most iconic family entertainment centers in the country: Golf N' Stuff. Famous for its appearance in the original The Karate Kid movie, this park features miniature golf courses, go-karts, bumper boats, and a massive arcade. It is the ultimate destination for youth groups, summer camp field trips, and corporate team-building events looking for a bit of nostalgia and friendly competition.
Bus Rental Advantage: Located at 10555 Firestone Blvd, Norwalk, CA 90650, Golf N' Stuff is a high-traffic destination. When you are responsible for transporting 50 excited teenagers or a department of 30 employees, safety and accountability are paramount. A private charter bus keeps everyone together. Your group can watch the Karate Kid on the bus's flat-screen TVs via the DVD player while heading to the venue to get hyped up. Once the fun is done, a cool, air-conditioned bus provides a welcome respite from the California sun after a few rounds of mini-golf.
Hathaway Ranch Museum
Dive deep into the region's history with a visit to the Hathaway Ranch Museum. This site preserves five generations of family history and offers a unique look into the ranching and oil industries that shaped Santa Fe Springs. The museum covers five acres and includes historic buildings, farm equipment, and oil machinery. It is a fascinating, niche destination for historical societies, senior tour groups, and educational cohorts interested in the industrial evolution of Southern California.
Logistics: Located at 11901 Florence Ave, Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670, the museum is best experienced with a scheduled tour. Arriving in a single charter bus ensures that your tour starts promptly, as the docents won't have to wait for stragglers stuck in traffic. For senior groups, our modern charter buses offer comfortable boarding and reclining seats, making the trip to and from the museum as enjoyable as the tour itself. The drivers are patient, ensuring curb-to-curb service for passengers with mobility concerns.
Citadel Outlets
While technically just across the border in Commerce, the Citadel Outlets are only minutes away from Santa Fe Springs and serve as a major draw for tour groups staying in the area. Housed behind an Assyrian castle wall structure, this outlet center features over 130 top-brand stores. It is a paradise for groups who love retail therapy, from international tour groups to bachelorette parties looking for deals before the big day.
Shop and Ride: Located at 100 Citadel Dr, Commerce, CA 90040, the Citadel is located right off the I-5 freeway, which can be intimidating for drivers unfamiliar with LA traffic. With a Charter Bus Rental Company Santa Fe Springs motorcoach, your driver navigates the freeway interchanges while you relax. The sheer volume of shopping bags a group can accumulate here is substantial; luckily, our full-size charter buses feature massive luggage bays perfect for storing all your purchases securely while you grab lunch at the food court or head to your next destination.
Knott's Berry Farm
Santa Fe Springs is perfectly positioned as a launching pad for major theme parks, and Knott's Berry Farm in nearby Buena Park is just a short 15-minute drive away. Known as California's first theme park, it offers world-class roller coasters, the famous Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant, and the PEANUTS-themed Camp Snoopy. It is a perennial favorite for graduation trips, family reunions, and church youth group outings originating from Santa Fe Springs.
Theme Park Transport: The address is 8039 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620. Theme park parking fees can be exorbitant for multiple vehicles. By consolidating your group into one charter bus, you save significantly on parking costs. Furthermore, theme park days are exhausting. After walking miles and screaming on coasters, no one wants to drive home. Let a driver handle the post-park traffic while your group naps in reclining seats or shares photos over the bus's WiFi.
Town Center Hall
For local community events, sports tournaments, and civic gatherings, Town Center Hall is a central hub in Santa Fe Springs. This facility hosts everything from teen lounge activities to major city celebrations. If your sports team is competing in a tournament nearby or you are attending a community festival, this is often the center of the action.
Team Travel: Located at 11740 Telegraph Rd, Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670, Town Center Hall is easily accessible by bus. For sports teams , a charter bus rental offers a distinct advantage: focus. Instead of players driving themselves or parents navigating caravans, the team travels together. Coaches can use the onboard PA system to give pre-game pep talks, review plays on the monitors, and build camaraderie before hitting the field. Plus, there is plenty of room for gear bags, coolers, and uniforms without cramping the passengers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Santa Fe Springs Group Travel Transportation
How far in advance should I book my charter bus in Santa Fe Springs?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and venue are confirmed. For peak travel seasons, such as spring for school field trips or summer for weddings, it is best to book 3 to 6 months in advance. However, because we have access to a large fleet, we can often accommodate last-minute requests. Call us at 562-579-5905 to check availability for your specific dates.
Can we bring food and drinks on the bus?
Yes, most of our charter bus partners allow food and drinks on board. We recommend sticking to mess-free snacks and drinks with lids to keep the bus clean for your comfort. If you plan to bring alcohol on board for a wedding or bachelor/bachelorette party, please let our reservation agent know at the time of booking, as this is generally permitted for passengers over 21 but may require a refundable security deposit.
What happens if our trip runs longer than expected?
We understand that events at places like the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet or weddings at the Clarke Estate can sometimes run over schedule. When you book, you will agree to a set timeframe. If your trip goes significantly over the allotted time, additional hourly charges may apply. We recommend padding your itinerary with a little extra time to account for traffic or extended festivities to ensure a stress-free experience.
Is there parking for the bus at these attractions?
Most major attractions in Santa Fe Springs, such as Heritage Park and the Swap Meet, have areas suitable for bus drop-offs and parking. However, specific parking availability can change based on the event size and time of day. The drivers are familiar with the local area and will handle the logistics of dropping your group off at the entrance and finding appropriate parking nearby if onsite parking is full. You are responsible for any specific parking fees charged by the venue.
Do your buses have WiFi and power outlets?
Yes, many of the buses in our fleet are equipped with modern amenities, including free WiFi and power outlets at every seat. These features are perfect for corporate groups needing to stay connected or students wanting to stream music during a field trip. If these amenities are a priority for your group, please request them when you call 562-579-5905 so we can match you with the perfect vehicle.
