A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Riverfront Park
No trip to Spokane is complete without visiting the crown jewel of the city: Riverfront Park. Originally the site of the Expo '74 World's Fair, this 100-acre urban oasis offers something for every type of traveler. Groups can marvel at the roaring Spokane Falls, ride the historic 1909 Looff Carrousel, or take a scenic glide over the river on the Numerica SkyRide. The park is dominated by the iconic U.S. Pavilion, which hosts light shows and concerts throughout the year.
For groups, Riverfront Park is a logistical dream when you have a charter bus. Instead of coordinating meet-up spots after parking in expensive garages blocks away, your Charter Bus Spokane driver can drop your group off at the designated loading zones near the IMAX theater or the Rotary Fountain. It makes accessing the park's paved trails and attractions seamless for visitors of all mobility levels.
Riverfront Park 507 N Howard St, Spokane, WA 99201
Manito Park and Botanical Gardens
Located in the majestic South Hill neighborhood, Manito Park is a 90-acre public park that feels like a step into a fairytale. It is a favorite destination for wedding parties looking for the perfect photo backdrop and school groups studying botany. The park features five distinct garden areas, including the Nishinomiya Tsutakawa Japanese Garden, the formal Duncan Garden (reminiscent of European Renaissance gardens), and the Gaiser Conservatory, which is filled with exotic tropical plants year-round.
Parking on the South Hill can be tight, especially during the peak bloom of the Rose Hill garden in summer. By booking a private shuttle with Charter Bus Spokane, your group can bypass the struggle for street parking. We can arrange a drop-off right at the Park Bench Cafe or the main conservatory entrance, allowing your group to explore the rolling lawns and duck ponds stress-free. It is the perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon picnic or a structured educational tour.
Manito Park 1702 S Grand Blvd, Spokane, WA 99203
Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture (The MAC)
For groups interested in the deep history and culture of the Inland Northwest, The MAC is an essential stop. Located in the historic Browne’s Addition neighborhood, this Smithsonian Affiliate museum offers immersive exhibits on the indigenous plateau tribes, the region's mining history, and contemporary art. A highlight for many groups is the tour of the Campbell House, a neoclassical revival home adjacent to the museum that illustrates life in Spokane during the age of mining tycoons in the early 20th century.
School field trips and senior tour groups frequently rely on Charter Bus Spokane for visits to The MAC. Our buses offer climate-controlled cabins and overhead storage for backpacks and coats, keeping the aisles clear and safe. Your driver can drop your group at the main entrance on First Avenue and park off-site, returning exactly when your tour concludes. It is the most efficient way to immerse your group in local history.
Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture 2316 W 1st Ave, Spokane, WA 99201
Green Bluff Growers
Just 15 minutes north of Spokane lies a cluster of family-owned farms known as Green Bluff. This agricultural loop is a massive draw for groups, especially in the fall for the Apple Festival and pumpkin picking, or in the summer for cherry and strawberry seasons. Farms like Beck’s Harvest House and Walter’s Fruit Ranch offer U-pick options, fresh donuts, live music, and corn mazes.
Navigating the narrow country roads of Green Bluff with a caravan of personal cars can be chaotic, especially during festival weekends when traffic is heavy. A private charter bus rental is the ultimate solution. Your group stays together, enjoying the scenic drive views of Mount Spokane. Plus, the undercarriage storage on our full-sized coaches provides ample room for all the boxes of apples, pumpkins, and pies you will inevitably want to bring home!
Green Bluff Growers (General Area) Green Bluff Road, Mead, WA 99021
Gonzaga University & The McCarthey Athletic Center
Spokane is a college town at heart, and the pulse of that spirit is found at Gonzaga University. Whether you are a prospective student group touring the beautiful campus, a religious organization visiting St. Aloysius Church, or a sports team traveling to compete, Gonzaga is a hub of activity. The McCarthey Athletic Center, known affectionately as "The Kennel," offers one of the most electric atmospheres in college basketball.
Charter Bus Spokane frequently assists collegiate teams, alumni associations, and high school groups with transportation to and from the university district. We can arrange drop-offs near the Hemmingson Center for campus tours or coordinate game-day transport that gets you close to the stadium entrance. With onboard WiFi available upon request, students can share their campus experiences on social media in real-time while moving between locations.
Gonzaga University 502 E Boone Ave, Spokane, WA 99258
Spokane Falls & Huntington Park
While technically adjacent to Riverfront Park, Spokane Falls deserves its own mention as a primary destination. The roaring waterfalls in the center of the city are a breathtaking sight, particularly during the spring runoff. Huntington Park, located near City Hall and the Avista power plant, offers accessible paved walkways and plazas that get you right up to the water's edge for incredible group photos.
This is a fantastic stop for corporate groups looking to take a break from meetings at the nearby Spokane Convention Center. A shuttle bus can quickly transfer your team from the convention floor to the falls for a breath of fresh air and a photo op, then whisk them away to a dinner reservation at a downtown restaurant like Clinkerdagger or Anthony’s.
Huntington Park 350 N Post St, Spokane, WA 99201
Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox
For lovers of the performing arts, the Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox is a masterpiece of Art Deco design and the home of the Spokane Symphony. After a stunning restoration, this venue now hosts everything from classical concerts to contemporary music acts and comedy shows. It is a sophisticated destination for corporate galas, senior community outings, or holiday parties.
Downtown parking for a large group attending a show can be expensive and scattered. With a private minibus or charter bus rental, your group receives red-carpet treatment with curbside drop-off right on West Sprague Avenue. Your driver handles the parking while you enjoy the performance, and will be waiting with a warm bus as soon as the final curtain call ends. It adds a touch of luxury and convenience that elevates the entire evening.
Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox 1001 W Sprague Ave, Spokane, WA 99201
Cat Tales Wildlife Center
Located north of the city in Mead, Cat Tales is a sanctuary and zoological park dedicated to the rescue of big cats and other wildlife. It serves as an educational center where groups can learn about tigers, lions, bears, and more. It is a fantastic alternative to a standard zoo trip for schools or scout troops looking for a more intimate, educational experience focused on conservation.
Because Cat Tales is located a bit further out from the city center, a charter bus rental ensures that your group travels comfortably. Teachers and chaperones can utilize the onboard PA system to brief students on the sanctuary's rules and educational goals during the drive. The bus also provides a comfortable, contained environment for headcounts before and after the visit.
Cat Tales Wildlife Center 17020 N Newport Hwy, Mead, WA 99021

Frequently Asked Questions About Spokane Group Travel Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Spokane?
The cost of renting a charter bus in Spokane varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and total mileage. For example, a full-day rental during the peak summer wedding season may cost more than a half-day rental in February. We offer transparent pricing with no extra fees. To get the most accurate number, call us at 509-381-3214 with your itinerary, and we will provide a free, personalized quote in less than a minute.
How far in advance should I book my bus rental?
We generally recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and venue are confirmed. For busy seasons, such as spring proms or summer weddings, try to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing. However, we know last-minute trips happen! We are often able to accommodate short-notice requests, so don't hesitate to call us regardless of your timeline.
Can we bring food and drinks on the bus?
Yes, most of our charter bus partners allow food and drinks on board! We want you to be comfortable. We generally ask that you avoid glass containers and messy foods to keep the bus clean for your group and future passengers.
Where can a charter bus park in downtown Spokane?
Downtown Spokane has specific regulations regarding oversized vehicle parking. Generally, buses can drop off passengers curbside at most hotels, the Convention Center, and major attractions like the Fox Theater or the First Interstate Center for the Arts. After drop-off, your driver will typically park the bus at a designated layover spot or a paid surface lot that accommodates large vehicles, such as the lots near the Spokane Arena, until it is time to pick you up. Your driver handles all these logistics so you don't have to!
Do you offer transportation to cities outside of Spokane?
Absolutely! Charter Bus Spokane services the entire Pacific Northwest region. We regularly transport groups to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Pullman for WSU games; Cheney for EWU events; and even longer trips to Seattle, Leavenworth, or the Tri-Cities. Whether you need a simple airport transfer to GEG or a multi-day road trip across Washington State, our fleet is ready to take you there.
