Booking the right size bus makes a real difference on a field trip. A smaller class of 20 students heading to the Bakken Museum (3537 Zenith Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55416) — just three miles from Edina — fits perfectly in a 20- or 25-passenger minibus. A full-grade trip to the Science Museum of Minnesota (120 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102) calls for a 56-passenger motorcoach with undercarriage luggage bays for backpacks, lunches, and gear.
Through a network of independently owned bus companies, you can compare every available size and find the exact match for your headcount. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network too — just mention it when you request your quote. Whatever your group needs, there's a bus in the network ready for it!

Head to the Science Museum of Minnesota or Minnesota History Center With the Right Bus
Choosing between St. Paul's two biggest field trip destinations is easy — getting there with 50 students is the part that takes planning. The Science Museum of Minnesota and the Minnesota History Center (345 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102) sit just blocks apart along Kellogg Boulevard in downtown St. Paul, and both accommodate school group buses. The History Center's bus drop-off is on John Ireland Boulevard, with designated off-site bus parking nearby rather than a lot at the building itself, and the Science Museum asks school and charter groups to coordinate their bus arrival in advance, entering through the Education entrance at Eagle and Chestnut streets during the school year.
Both venues offer structured school group programming worth reserving alongside your transportation. From Edina, the drive runs about 25 minutes via I-494 East and I-35E North — and with a 56-passenger motorcoach, your whole grade travels together and arrives ready to learn!
Get Your Class to the Minnesota Zoo Without the Carpool Chaos
With Edinacharterbuscompany.com, securing a bus to the Minnesota Zoo (13000 Zoo Blvd, Apple Valley, MN 55124) takes less time than organizing the permission slips. The Minnesota Zoo is one of the most popular field trip destinations in the Twin Cities metro, and it's about 17 miles south of Edina via I-494 — roughly a 25-minute ride on a charter bus. The zoo requires groups to reserve bus parking in advance, so once your date is confirmed, arrival is straightforward and the bus is right there for your return.
A 56-passenger motorcoach fits a full class and their chaperones, and undercarriage luggage bays handle every backpack and lunch bag without cluttering the aisle. Compare buses and pricing from a network of independent operators serving the Edina-to-Apple Valley route — and get your quote in seconds!
Cross the River to Minneapolis Institute of Art or the Bakken Museum
Cross the city line and Edina students have access to two of the metro's best arts and science destinations within just a few miles. The Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) (2400 3rd Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55404) offers free general admission and structured school group tours — buses drop off at the main circular drive on 3rd Avenue S, with free bus parking permitted on 24th Street and other streets around Washburn Fair Oaks Park. Right on the same campus, the Children's Theatre Company runs popular school matinee performances for elementary groups.
The Bakken Museum is barely three miles from Edina and a fantastic option for electricity and life science units. A 20- or 25-passenger minibus handles a single classroom on any of these shorter runs — compact enough to navigate city streets and pull cleanly into venue loading zones!

Because Edinacharterbuscompany.com pulls from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Edina and the Twin Cities metro, you can compare 15-passenger minibuses, 25-passenger minibuses, 35-passenger minibuses, and full 56-passenger motorcoaches from multiple operators — all in one place, in under a minute.
