Charter Buses to Calico Ghost Town and High Desert Destinations
Applevalleycharterbusservices.com helps you find the right bus for the High Desert's most popular field trip destinations — and nothing beats a class trip to Calico Ghost Town (36600 Ghost Town Rd, Yermo, CA 92398), about 35 miles northeast of Apple Valley via I-15. Buses park in the main lot off Ghost Town Road, and no advance bus permit is required — just the standard entry fee per person. Calico Ghost Town's official park map marks the bus area as Upper Parking / Handicap & Bus, giving your class a designated place to unload instead of searching through general parking.
Spring Fridays at Calico fill fast, so book your bus four to six weeks out. The Mojave River Valley Museum (270 E Virginia Way, Barstow, CA 92311) and Mojave Narrows Regional Park (18000 Yates Rd, Victorville, CA 92392) round out the close-to-home options. Compare buses and pricing for any of these destinations in under 30 seconds!
Minibus Rentals for Big Bear and Mountain Route Field Trips
Find the right-sized bus before the route picks it for you. State Route 18 above Lucerne Valley climbs steep, winding grades past 5,000 feet on the way to Big Bear — and full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches are not the practical choice on those upper mountain sections. A 35-passenger minibus or smaller is the smarter call for trips to the Big Bear Discovery Center (40971 North Shore Dr, Fawnskin, CA 92333) and interpretive programs through the San Bernardino National Forest.
Through Applevalleycharterbusservices.com, you can compare minibuses sized to your class and your route — so the bus fits the road, not the other way around. Call 442-327-2095 or use the online quote tool to see what's available for your date!
Coordinating Los Angeles Field Trip Transportation Down I-15
Coordinating a class trip to Los Angeles from Apple Valley means getting 90-plus miles of I-15 right — and that starts with the departure time. Southbound I-15 through Cajon Pass backs up hard between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. on weekday mornings; school groups should plan to roll out of Apple Valley by 7:00 a.m. sharp or wait until after 9:00 to clear the worst of it, adding 30 to 45 minutes of buffer either way. Once you're in LA, charter bus drop-off at the California Science Center (700 Exposition Park Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90037) is on Exposition Park Drive, with bus parking in the Exposition Park lot — advance reservation recommended at roughly $15–$20 per bus.
The bus enters the Science Center parking area from Figueroa Street at 39th/Exposition Park, and groups of 15 or more need a reservation before visiting through the California Science Center field-trip page. The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (900 Exposition Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90007) sits right next door and uses the same lot. Compare buses for your LA field trip in seconds through Applevalleycharterbusservices.com!
You'll Love Finding Buses to the Getty, Griffith Observatory, and More
You'll love how easy Applevalleycharterbusservices.com makes it to plan transportation to LA's most popular school field trip venues — because each one has its own access rules, and knowing them before you book saves real headaches on the day. At the Getty Center (1200 Getty Center Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90049), charter buses use the North Entry Parking garage, accessed via Sepulveda Blvd at Getty Center Drive, where Getty Security directs school buses to designated spots — a school-group reservation is required. At Griffith Observatory (2800 E Observatory Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90027), buses approach via Vermont Canyon Road and unload in the upper parking lot — arrive before 9:30 a.m. on school days, because that lot fills early.
At the Aquarium of the Pacific (100 Aquarium Way, Long Beach, CA 90802), bus drop-off is on Aquarium Way with staging coordinated through the venue. Compare buses for any of these destinations through Applevalleycharterbusservices.com!
Start Planning Your Disneyland or Anaheim Field Trip Bus Rental
Start the conversation early when Disneyland is on the itinerary — because both the venue reservation and the bus fill up fast. Charter buses drop off at the Disneyland Resort Transportation Center on Harbor Boulevard in Anaheim, about 80 miles southwest of Apple Valley, with bus parking in the oversized vehicle section of the Toy Story Parking Area — parking is subject to availability and current bus parking runs approximately $50 per day, which is not included in your bus quote. Book your field trip bus six to eight weeks out for spring dates, when every school district in Southern California is chasing the same availability. Applevalleycharterbusservices.com lets you compare 35- to 56-passenger buses from a large network of transportation companies serving Apple Valley — so you find the right size at the right price before the calendar fills.

A 35-passenger minibus or smaller is the practical choice for State Route 18 above Lucerne Valley — the upper mountain grades to Big Bear are steep and winding, and full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches are not well suited for that stretch of road. For destinations on the I-15 corridor like Calico Ghost Town or Los Angeles, a full-size motorcoach is perfectly appropriate. Mention your destination when you request your quote and the results will reflect the right vehicle types for your route.
Four to six weeks out is a solid baseline for most High Desert and Inland Empire destinations. For spring trips to Los Angeles venues like the California Science Center, Getty Center, or Griffith Observatory — or for Disneyland — book six to eight weeks in advance. Spring Fridays at Calico Ghost Town fill fast too.
The earlier you lock in the bus, the more vehicle options you'll have at the best available pricing.
No — venue parking costs are separate from your bus rental quote. The California Science Center's Exposition Park lot charges approximately $15–$20 per bus and advance reservation is recommended. The Getty Center requires an advance reservation through Getty Education for bus parking in the North Entry Parking garage, accessed via Sepulveda Blvd at Getty Center Drive.
Disneyland's Toy Story Parking Area charges approximately $50 per day for buses. Budget for these costs separately when planning your trip.
Yes — ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts are available through the network. Just mention your accessibility needs when you fill out the quote form or when you call 442-327-2095. Availability varies by operator, so flagging it upfront when you request your quote gives you the best chance of finding the right vehicle for your group.
Yes — multi-stop pickup routes are a common setup for field trips, and you can list your pickup locations when you fill out the quote form. Add roughly 10 minutes per additional stop when you're working backward from your departure time. If your itinerary involves pickups at more than one Apple Valley school campus, mention all the addresses upfront so the pricing reflects the full route accurately.
