A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Mesa Arts Center
If you are looking to inject a dose of culture into your group's itinerary, the Mesa Arts Center (MAC) is the undisputed crown jewel of downtown Mesa. As the largest comprehensive arts campus in Arizona, this architectural marvel spans seven acres and hosts everything from Broadway touring productions and classical music concerts to contemporary art exhibitions. The campus itself is a work of art, designed to reflect the unique geology of the Sonoran Desert, featuring the Shadow Walk—a shaded outdoor plaza perfect for gathering your group before a show.
Traveling to the MAC with a group can be tricky if you are relying on personal vehicles. While there is parking downtown, it can fill up quickly during major events or festivals. By booking a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Mesa, you can arrange for a seamless drop-off right near the box office. Your group can step off the bus, enjoy a show at the Ikeda Theater, or browse the mesa Contemporary Arts Museum without worrying about feeding meters or finding each other in a parking garage. After the performance, your driver will be waiting to whisk you away to dinner or back to your hotel.
Mesa Arts Center 1 E Main St, Mesa, AZ 85201
Arizona Museum of Natural History
For school field trips, scout troops, or anyone fascinated by the prehistoric past, the Arizona Museum of Natural History is a must-visit destination. This isn't just a building filled with dusty bones; it is an immersive experience into the natural history of the Southwest. Your group can explore the towering Dinosaur Mountain, complete with animatronic dinosaurs and a flash-flood waterfall, or walk through a recreation of an ancient Hohokam village to learn about the people who first inhabited the Salt River Valley.
Coordinating a field trip here requires precision, and nothing kills the excitement of a museum visit faster than a hot, stuffy ride in a standard yellow school bus. Upgrade your educational outing with a modern charter bus rental from Charter Bus Mesa. Our buses feature powerful climate control to beat the Arizona heat, as well as onboard TVs and DVD players so you can show educational documentaries on the way to the museum. With ample storage for backpacks and lunches, your students and chaperones can enjoy a clutter-free ride. We have years of experience working with the Mesa Public Schools district and private institutions to ensure safe, timely student transportation.

Sloan Park (Chicago Cubs Spring Training)
Every spring, baseball fever takes over Mesa as the Chicago Cubs come to town for Cactus League Spring Training. Sloan Park is often referred to as "Wrigleyville West," and for good reason—it offers the charm of the iconic Chicago stadium with the beautiful backdrop of the Arizona mountains. If you are planning a corporate outing, a bachelor party, or a family get-together during March, catching a Cubs game here is an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is electric, the hot dogs are delicious, and the lawn seating offers a relaxed vibe for large groups.
However, Spring Training games draw massive crowds, and parking at Sloan Park can be expensive and chaotic. Traffic on the Loop 202 and Rio Salado Parkway often comes to a standstill before the first pitch. Skip the gridlock and the parking fees by renting a private bus. Your group can tailgate responsibly, knowing you have a driver to handle the transportation comfortably. Your charter bus offers plenty of undercarriage storage for coolers, folding chairs, and cornhole boards, making it the ultimate tailgating vehicle. We will drop you off close to the gates and pick you up once the final out is recorded.
Sloan Park 2330 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Mesa, AZ 85201
Usery Mountain Regional Park
Mesa isn't just about urban attractions; it is the gateway to some of the most stunning desert landscapes in the state. Usery Mountain Regional Park offers over 3,600 acres of pristine desert adventures, located right at the edge of the Goldfield Mountains. It is a fantastic destination for active groups looking to hike the popular Wind Cave Trail, enjoy a picnic with a view, or try their hand at archery. The park offers breathtaking views of the Valley and is a prime spot for spotting local wildlife like mule deer and desert tortoises.
Getting a large group to a trailhead can be a logistical nightmare involving caravans and lost drivers. With a charter bus rental, your entire hiking club or corporate team travels together. After a few hours of hiking in the sun, there is nothing better than stepping into a pre-cooled, air-conditioned bus. Your passengers can recline their seats, hydrate with cold water stored in your onboard coolers, and use the onboard WiFi to upload their scenic photos instantly. The drivers are familiar with the park's layout and can navigate the larger vehicles through the park roads to the designated group areas with ease.
Usery Mountain Regional Park 3939 N Usery Pass Rd, Mesa, AZ 85207
Mesa Market Place Swap Meet
For a shopping experience you won't find anywhere else, take your group to the Mesa Market Place Swap Meet. This massive open-air market features over 1,600 booth spaces under a single covered breezeway (which, crucially, is misted during the warmer months). It is a treasure hunter's paradise where you can find everything from Southwestern decor and Native American jewelry to fresh jerky, tools, and clothing. It is also a great spot for food, with a massive food court offering breakfast and lunch options accompanied by live music.
This is a popular destination for senior tour groups and bargain hunters. A charter bus rental is the ideal way to visit because it solves the biggest problem shoppers face: storage. After hours of browsing and buying, your group won't have to cram their new treasures onto their laps. Our full-size charter buses feature massive undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate all the shopping bags, art pieces, and souvenirs your group collects. Plus, with a designated pickup time, you ensure no one gets left behind in the miles of aisles.
Mesa Market Place Swap Meet 10550 E Baseline Rd, Mesa, AZ 85212
Golfland Sunsplash
When the Arizona mercury rises, there is only one place to go: Golfland Sunsplash. This premier water park and family entertainment center is a staple of Mesa summers. It features thrilling water slides like the Thunder Bay Wave Pool and the Sidewinder, as well as dry activities like mini-golf, laser tag, and an arcade. It is a favorite destination for end-of-year school parties, church youth groups, and summer camp field trips.
Transporting dozens of excited kids and teenagers requires a vehicle that prioritizes safety and organization. Charter Bus Mesa provides reliable transportation that keeps your group contained and accounted for. Instead of parents stressing over carpools on the busy US-60, everyone rides together. The ride home is usually much quieter than the ride there, as exhausted swimmers take advantage of the plush, reclining seats for a nap. We can arrange for multiple buses for large school districts or a single minibus for a private birthday party.
Golfland Sunsplash 155 W Hampton Ave, Mesa, AZ 85210
Organ Stop Pizza
Dining in Mesa offers many options, but none are quite as unique—or as group-friendly—as Organ Stop Pizza. This isn't just a pizza parlor; it's a show. The restaurant is home to the Mighty Wurlitzer, one of the largest theater pipe organs in the world. As you enjoy pizzas, pastas, and salad bar favorites at long communal tables, you are treated to a thunderous musical performance that includes rising stages, bubbles, and light shows. It is an experience that appeals to all ages, making it perfect for multi-generational family reunions or tour groups.
Because Organ Stop Pizza operates on a first-come, first-served basis for seating (though they handle large groups well), arriving together is key to sitting together. A charter bus rental ensures your group arrives at the perfect time to secure tables. We can drop your group right at the front door so you can head straight for the ordering line. It is a loud, fun, and memorable evening that is made infinitely easier when you don't have to coordinate a meetup time in the parking lot.
Organ Stop Pizza 1149 E Southern Ave, Mesa, AZ 85204
Commemorative Air Force Airbase Arizona Museum
History buffs and aviation enthusiasts will be in heaven at the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Airbase Arizona Museum located at Falcon Field. This working museum offers an up-close look at authentic WWII aviation history. Visitors can walk through the hangars to see meticulously restored warbirds, including a B-17 Flying Fortress and a B-25 Mitchell. It is an incredibly moving and educational experience that honors the heroes of the past.
This destination is particularly popular for senior citizen groups, veteran organizations, and history classes. Accessibility is a priority for us at Charter Bus Mesa. If you are traveling with group members who have mobility challenges, just let our reservation team know. We can provide an ADA-accessible charter bus equipped with a wheelchair lift and wider aisles to ensure everyone in your group can participate in the tour comfortably. We handle the driving so your group can focus on the incredible history on display.
