A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Gathering Place: Tulsa’s Riverfront Park
You cannot talk about group travel in Tulsa without mentioning the Gathering Place. Named the "Best City Park in the United States" by USA Today shortly after it opened, this 66-acre waterfront park along the Arkansas River is a masterpiece of landscape architecture. It is the perfect destination for school field trips, family reunions, and corporate team-building retreats. Your group can explore the Chapman Adventure Playground, rent kayaks at the boat house, or enjoy a picnic on the Great Lawn.
Why Rent a Bus Here? While the Gathering Place offers parking, the lots fill up incredibly fast, especially on weekends and during summer break. If you are traveling with a large group, trying to find ten consecutive parking spots is nearly impossible. When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Tulsa, your driver can drop your group off right at the main entrance near the Williams Lodge (2650 S John Williams Way, Tulsa, OK 74114). While your group explores the sensory gardens and towering playgrounds, your bus driver will handle the parking logistics in the designated oversized vehicle areas. Plus, after a long day of physical activity in the Oklahoma heat, stepping onto an air-conditioned bus with reclining seats is the perfect way to cool down before heading home.
Philbrook Museum of Art
For a touch of elegance and history, the Philbrook Museum of Art is unmatched. Housed in the former 1920s villa of oil tycoon Waite Phillips, the museum features extensive formal gardens and a global art collection. It is a favorite spot for wedding photos, sophisticated corporate galas, and educational art tours. Located in the historic midtown neighborhood, the architecture alone is worth the visit.
Why Rent a Bus Here? The Philbrook is nestled in a residential neighborhood at 2727 S Rockford Rd, Tulsa, OK 74114. The streets in this historic district can be narrow, and parking is limited to the museum's lot, which can be tight for a large convoy of personal vehicles. A minibus rental is perfect for shuttling wedding guests from downtown hotels to the Philbrook for a ceremony. Your guests can enjoy the ride with onboard WiFi to share photos instantly, and you won’t have to worry about anyone getting lost in the winding midtown streets. For school groups, we offer spacious motorcoaches with undercarriage storage for art supplies or packed lunches.
The Tulsa Zoo
Located within Mohawk Park, one of the largest municipal parks in the country, the Tulsa Zoo is an 85-acre living classroom featuring everything from Malayan tigers to African penguins. It is a staple for elementary school field trips and summer camp outings. With exhibits like the Lost Kingdom and the Chimpanzee Connection, it offers hours of educational entertainment.
Why Rent a Bus Here? The Tulsa Zoo is located at 6421 E 36th St N, Tulsa, OK 74115, which is a bit of a drive from the city center. Transporting a large group of students or campers in old yellow school buses can be uncomfortable, especially during the humid Oklahoma spring and summer months. Upgrade your field trip with a Charter Bus Tulsa rental. Our buses come equipped with powerful air conditioning and onboard TVs with DVD players, allowing you to play educational wildlife documentaries on the way to the zoo to get the kids excited. Plus, Mohawk Park charges a vehicle entry fee, but by consolidating your group into one charter bus, you simplify the payment process and entry logistics significantly.
Greenwood Rising & The Historic Greenwood District
Tulsa’s history is profound, and a visit to the Historic Greenwood District—formerly known as "Black Wall Street"—is an essential experience. Greenwood Rising (23 N Greenwood Ave, Tulsa, OK 74120) is a state-of-the-art history center that honors the legacy of Black Wall Street before and after the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. It is a deeply moving destination for church groups, university history departments, and cultural heritage tours.
Why Rent a Bus Here? Parking in the downtown/Greenwood area can be tricky, especially when concurrent events are happening at the nearby ONEOK Field. By renting a charter bus, you ensure that your group stays together, which is vital for maintaining the respectful and reflective atmosphere of the tour. Your driver can drop you off directly in front of the center and pick you up after you have toured the nearby Pathway to Hope and John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park. This allows your group to focus on the history and the experience rather than feeding parking meters or navigating one-way streets.
BOK Center
The BOK Center is the crown jewel of downtown Tulsa’s entertainment district. This 19,000-seat arena hosts the biggest names in music, from Paul McCartney to Garth Brooks, as well as the Tulsa Oilers hockey team. Whether you are organizing a massive group of fans to cheer on the Oilers or taking a corporate group to a luxury suite for a concert, the BOK Center is the place to be.
Why Rent a Bus Here? If you have ever tried to leave a parking garage after a sold-out concert at the BOK Center (200 S Denver Ave, Tulsa, OK 74103), you know it can take an hour just to exit the structure. Avoid the gridlock and the exorbitant event parking fees by booking a party bus or charter bus. Your group can pre-game on the bus with your own playlist connected to our AUX/Bluetooth sound systems. Your driver will drop you off near the entrance and, most importantly, be waiting for you at a designated pick-up spot when the event ends. No surge pricing, no splitting up, and no stress.
The Golden Driller & Tulsa Expo Center
Standing 76 feet tall, the Golden Driller is one of the most photographed landmarks in Oklahoma. Located at the Tulsa Expo Center (4145 E 21st St, Tulsa, OK 74114), this giant statue watches over massive events like the Tulsa State Fair and the Chili Bowl Nationals. It is a quirky, must-see stop for tour groups traveling along Route 66.
Why Rent a Bus Here? Events at the Expo Square are massive, drawing visitors from across the country. The parking lots are enormous, meaning if you drive yourself, you might be walking a mile from your car to the entrance. With a Charter Bus Tulsa rental, we provide door-to-door service. This is particularly helpful for senior citizen tour groups or those with mobility issues. We can drop your group right at the base of the Golden Driller for a photo op before heading into the Expo Square for your event. With ample luggage bays under the bus, you’ll have plenty of room to store souvenirs from the State Fair or equipment for trade shows.
Tulsa Arts District
Formerly known as the Brady Arts District, this vibrant neighborhood is the heartbeat of Tulsa’s nightlife and culture. Home to the legendary Cain’s Ballroom (423 N Main St, Tulsa, OK 74103), the Bob Dylan Center, and the Woody Guthrie Center, this area is perfect for music lovers. It is also packed with breweries, bars, and restaurants, making it a prime destination for bachelor and bachelorette parties.
Why Rent a Bus Here? If you are planning a pub crawl or a night out in the Arts District, safety is the priority. Renting a minibus or sprinter van from Charter Bus Tulsa means you have a built-in designated driver for the entire evening. You can hop from a show at Cain’s Ballroom to drinks at Valkyrie or dinner at The Tavern without anyone needing to hand over their keys. Our buses can be equipped with leather seating and LED lighting to keep the party vibe going between stops. We can also provide late-night shuttles to get everyone back to their hotels safely.
Oklahoma Aquarium
Just across the river in Jenks, the Oklahoma Aquarium (300 Aquarium Dr, Jenks, OK 74037) features the world's largest collection of bull sharks in captivity. It is a fascinating destination for biology classes, scout troops, and birthday parties. Visitors can walk through the shark tunnel, feed turtles, and learn about the aquatic life of the Arkansas River.
Why Rent a Bus Here? The Aquarium is a popular destination, and organizing a convoy of parents for a birthday party or school trip can be chaotic. A charter bus keeps the group contained and excited. On the way to Jenks, you can use the PA system to give the students instructions or play aquarium-themed trivia. Once there, the dedicated bus lane makes unloading safe and efficient, keeping the kids away from the general traffic of the parking lot.

This includes reclining seats, ample legroom, air conditioning (crucial for Oklahoma summers!), onboard restrooms, and overhead storage. Many buses also feature WiFi, power outlets at the seats, and DVD players with monitors. Our smaller minibuses and sprinter vans may not have restrooms due to their size, but they still offer premium seating and A/C. If you have specific requirements, such as ADA accessibility or specific tech needs, please let our reservation specialist know when booking.

For multi-day trips, you will be responsible for providing a hotel room for your driver to ensure they get the required rest for safety regulations.
Where can the bus pick us up?
We can pick your group up at almost any location in the Tulsa metropolitan area or surrounding suburbs (Broken Arrow, Owasso, Jenks, Bixby, etc.) that can accommodate a large commercial vehicle. This includes hotel lobbies, school parking lots, church lots, corporate offices, or even private residences if the street is wide enough. For airport transfers, we can pick you up curbside at Tulsa International Airport (TUL). When you book, you will provide us with your desired pickup address, and we will confirm its accessibility.
