A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cook Museum of Natural Science
If you are looking for an educational experience that will captivate students and adults alike, the Cook Museum of Natural Science is a must-visit destination. This state-of-the-art facility offers an immersive look into the natural world, featuring interactive exhibits, live animals, and a massive 15,000-gallon saltwater aquarium. It is the perfect destination for school field trips, scout troops, or even a unique corporate team-building afternoon. When you rent a charter bus in Decatur for your museum visit, we make the arrival process seamless. Your driver can drop your group off right at the main entrance at 133 4th Ave NE, Decatur, AL 35601, allowing you to head straight for the ticket counter without worrying about finding parking spots for multiple vehicles.
Once inside, your group can explore the Foundations Gallery, the Rivers & Streams exhibit, and the amazing Forests exhibit. After a day of learning and exploration, your group will appreciate climbing back onto a cool, air-conditioned bus. Students can use the onboard WiFi to share photos of the sea turtles, while teachers and chaperones relax in reclining seats. We can even coordinate with the museum staff regarding bus parking logistics to ensure a smooth pickup when your tour concludes. Call us at 256-666-1649 to book your educational adventure today!
Point Mallard Park
For groups seeking outdoor adventure and recreation, Point Mallard Park is the crown jewel of Decatur. Famous for being home to America's first wave pool, this 700-acre park offers year-round activities that cater to sports teams, family reunions, and youth groups. In the summer, the water park is the main attraction, but the facility also boasts a championship golf course, an ice complex, batting cages, and extensive hiking and biking trails. Transporting a large group here can be a logistical challenge due to the sheer size of the park and the amount of gear often required. That is why a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Decatur is the ideal solution.
Whether you are hauling golf clubs, hockey gear for a tournament at the ice complex, or coolers and towels for a day at the wave pool, our full-size charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage storage bays to keep the cabin clutter-free. We can drop your group off directly at the specific facility you are visiting within the park complex located at 2901 Point Mallard Dr SE, Decatur, AL 35601. Instead of overheating in a hot car after a long day in the sun, your group can cool off in a climate-controlled cabin and rest up on the ride home.
Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge
Nature enthusiasts and bird watchers flock to the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, a sanctuary that serves as a wintering ground for thousands of migratory birds, including the majestic Whooping Crane. Located along the Tennessee River, this refuge offers an incredible opportunity for groups to disconnect and immerse themselves in Alabama's diverse ecosystem. It is a fantastic destination for senior citizen tour groups, photography clubs, and environmental science classes. Because the refuge covers a vast area, having a consolidated mode of transportation is essential for keeping your group together.
Your charter bus driver can take you directly to the Visitor Center at 3121 Visitor Center Rd, Decatur, AL 35603, where your group can view exhibits and watch wildlife from the observation building. If you plan to explore the various trails or observation platforms, your bus can serve as a comfortable home base for lunch breaks or storing hiking gear. The refuge is particularly busy during the Festival of the Cranes in January, so booking your transportation in advance ensures you skip the hassle of navigating crowded parking lots. Let us handle the driving while you enjoy the stunning views of the Tennessee River valley.
The Princess Theatre
For a touch of culture and history, plan a group evening at the historic Princess Theatre. Originally a livery stable built in 1887 and transformed into an Art Deco theatre in 1941, this venue is the heart of Decatur’s performing arts scene. It hosts everything from local concerts and plays to classic movie screenings and traveling acts. It is a popular destination for school arts programs, senior community outings, and corporate evening galas. Located in the downtown district, parking can sometimes be scarce during sold-out performances, which is where Charter Bus Rental Company Decatur steps in.
We provide door-to-door service to the theatre, located at 112 2nd Ave NE, Decatur, AL 35601. Your driver can drop your party off right in front of the dazzling neon marquee, giving you the red-carpet treatment before finding parking nearby. This is especially helpful for groups dressed in formal wear or for those with mobility concerns who need close access to the venue. After the show, your bus will be waiting to whisk you away to a late-night dinner or back to your hotel, ensuring the magic of the evening isn't spoiled by traffic or a long walk to the car.
Old State Bank
Step back in time with a visit to the Old State Bank, one of the few structures in Decatur to survive the Civil War. This architectural gem, completed in 1833, offers a fascinating glimpse into the early economic history of Alabama and the antebellum South. It stands as a testament to the city's resilience and is a favorite stop for history tours, architectural students, and heritage groups. A visit here is often paired with a walking tour of the surrounding historic district.
Located at 925 Bank St NE, Decatur, AL 35601, the Old State Bank is situated in a busy part of town. Navigating a caravan of cars through historic streets can be stressful and disjointed. A minibus rental allows your group to arrive together, ready for a guided tour. Your driver can manage the navigation through the downtown grid while your group listens to a primer on local history over the bus’s PA system. Whether you are planning a quick stop or a detailed tour, we provide the flexibility to keep your itinerary on track.
Delano Park
If you are planning a family reunion, a company picnic, or a wedding photoshoot, Delano Park offers a picturesque backdrop rich with history. As the oldest park in the city, founded in 1887, it features the stunning WPA Rose Garden, a splash pad for the kids, and plenty of green space for relaxation. It is a beautiful spot to unwind, but coordinating arrival times for a large picnic can be a headache if everyone is driving separately.
With a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Decatur, you can transport your entire family or office staff to 825 Gordon Dr SE, Decatur, AL 35601 in a single trip. Our buses have plenty of overhead storage for picnic baskets, games, and decorations. If you are using the park for wedding photos, a minibus is the perfect way to shuttle the bridal party from the ceremony to the rose garden and then on to the reception, ensuring everyone stays cool (thanks to premium A/C) and hair and makeup stay perfect.
Carnegie Visual Arts Center
Housed in a historic Carnegie Library building constructed in 1904, the Carnegie Visual Arts Center is the epicenter of visual arts in Decatur. The center hosts rotating exhibits featuring local, regional, and national artists, as well as educational workshops and community events. It is a fantastic destination for art clubs, school groups, and cultural tourists looking to experience the creative side of the River City.
Located at 207 Church St NE, Decatur, AL 35601, the center is easily accessible by charter bus. When you book with us, you can arrange a drop-off right at the curb, allowing your group to enter together. For school groups, this ensures maximum safety and accountability for all students. After viewing the galleries, your group can board the bus to head to lunch at a local eatery or continue on to other downtown attractions. We make art appreciation accessible and easy for groups of any size.
Historic Decatur & Albany Historic Districts
Decatur is home to two distinct historic districts: Old Decatur and Albany. These neighborhoods boast one of the largest concentrations of Victorian and early 20th-century Craftsman and Bungalow style homes in Alabama. A driving tour of these districts is a highlight for many visitors, especially during the holiday season when the homes are beautifully decorated for the Historic Decatur Christmas Tour. However, narrow historic streets aren't always friendly to a convoy of personal vehicles trying to stay together.
A minibus or charter bus rental is the perfect way to tour these historic neighborhoods. With large panoramic windows, your group can enjoy the architecture from the comfort of a high vantage point without the distraction of driving. Your driver can navigate the residential streets safely while a tour guide uses the onboard microphone to point out significant landmarks and architectural details. It’s the ultimate way to experience the charm of Decatur without the foot fatigue.
