Charter Bus Rentals to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science

Traveling to the Museum

The Perot Museum is conveniently located near the heart of downtown Dallas, making it an easily accessible destination from nearly anywhere in the city. However, if you’re coming in from out of town, tackling the unfamiliar roads of this sprawling metropolis is no small feat. We recommend booking an 18-passenger minibus rental if you’re venturing to the museum from within city limits. Due to their compact size and roomy interior, the minibuses we charter are perfect for navigating through busy streets. For large groups traveling long distances from cities like San Antonio, Austin, or Houston, a 56-passenger charter bus will likely be the right fit for you. Whether you need a small shuttle or a large fleet, National Charter Bus can find the right ride for your group. You can even include amenities like WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, PA systems, and much more, ensuring that all passengers arrive are refreshed and comfortable when they arrive at the museum.

Bus parking is located in Lot C, which can be quite a hike from the museum’s front doors. To avoid the long walk, coordinate with your driver to be dropped off at the front entrance. Your driver can look after whatever belongings are left on the bus while you wander the exhibits and pick you up at the entrance when your group is ready to leave. When you book with a company like National Charter Bus, you won’t have to worry about circling the parking lot, hunting for the perfect spot. Instead, you can focus on the fun-filled day of discovery ahead of you while we handle the rest.

Explore the Exhibits

The Museum of Nature and Science is open 7 days a week, from 10am to 5pm Monday through Saturday and 11am to 5pm on Sundays. The museum allows exhibit entry until 4pm, but you will want plenty of time to explore all the engaging information each hall has to offer. Exhibits cover topics from paleontology to astronomy, from biology to engineering, and many topics in between. Even the building itself is an exhibit, showcasing unique, environmentally-friendly architecture that allows the museum to run sustainably on renewable energy.

Spend the Night at the Museum

Have you ever wanted to sleep next to a dinosaur? Uncover the science behind science fiction? Your students can do all this and so much more during a sleepover at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science! The museum invites groups of all shapes and sizes, from a family reunion to entire classes, to a night of hands-on discovery and fun. Festivities include a tour of the museum, a live science show, and a late-night dance party. At the end of the night, guests cozy up in their sleeping bags for a restful sleep among the museum’s exhibits. While this event is perfect for class field trips, the museum also offers special sleepover programs for specific groups, such as a weekend retreat for young girls interested in STEM and a “May the Fourth” Star Wars celebration for fans to learn how real science inspires science fiction.

With amenities like televisions with DVD players to keep your passengers entertained along the ride, and plenty of compartments to store their sleeping bags, a full-sized motorcoach is the best transportation option for your little scientists’ night at the museum.

Choose from any of the available bus options, and you can expect a top-of-the-line vehicle with all the latest safety features. The professional drivers in our network must pass a series of background checks before they get behind the wheel, so you can rest assured your children will arrive at the museum safely, on-time, and ready to learn.
