Providing Coach Bus Rentals For All Events & Attractions in Columbus

Columbus is a city full of energy, creativity, and history, making it one of the best places in Ohio for group trips. Whether you’re planning a school field trip, a corporate outing, a family reunion, or a game day tailgate, Columbus Coach Bus Service can help you get there comfortably and on time. We’ve served thousands of travelers across Franklin County and Central Ohio since 2011, and we know all the best spots to visit in Columbus. From world-class museums and historic neighborhoods to lively entertainment districts and beautiful parks, there’s something for everyone in this vibrant city. Here are the top 10 attractions in Columbus that are perfect for coach bus rentals—and how we can help make your trip easy and enjoyable.

Ohio Statehouse

The Ohio Statehouse is a must-see for anyone interested in history, architecture, or government. Located in the heart of downtown Columbus on Capitol Square, this stunning Greek Revival building has been the seat of Ohio’s government since 1857. You can take a free guided tour of the House and Senate chambers, the Rotunda, and the museum galleries, or explore the beautiful grounds and monuments outside.

If you’re bringing a large group, a charter bus is the easiest way to get everyone to the Statehouse without worrying about parking or traffic. Your bus will drop you off right at the entrance and pick you up when your tour is finished. While you’re downtown, you can also visit other nearby attractions like the Ohio Theatre, the Columbus Commons, and the Scioto Mile.

Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is one of the best zoos in the country, and a favorite destination for school field trips and family outings. With more than 10,000 animals from around the world, including elephants, giraffes, polar bears, and manatees, there’s always something new to see and learn. The zoo also features a state-of-the-art aquarium, a water park, and a zip line course.

Charter buses are great for transporting large groups of students, teachers, and chaperones to the zoo. You’ll have plenty of room for backpacks, coolers, and strollers, and you can relax in comfortable seats while you ride. The zoo is located in Powell, about 20 minutes north of downtown Columbus, and has designated bus parking areas for easy access.

Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

For a peaceful escape from the city, head to Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, where you can stroll through lush gardens, exotic plant collections, and stunning glasshouses. This 88-acre oasis features seasonal flower displays, art installations, and interactive exhibits for all ages. Highlights include the Palm House, the Bonsai Courtyard, and the Children’s Garden.

A charter bus rental makes it easy to bring a group of nature lovers or garden enthusiasts to the conservatory. You won’t have to worry about carpooling or finding parking in the busy Franklin Park neighborhood. After your visit, you can enjoy a picnic in the park or explore nearby attractions like the Topiary Park and the Columbus Museum of Art.

Short North Arts District

If you’re looking for culture, nightlife, and dining, the Short North Arts District is the place to be. This vibrant neighborhood along High Street is known for its eclectic mix of art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and bars. You can browse local artwork, shop for unique gifts, or sample cuisine from around the world. The district also hosts monthly Gallery Hops and street festivals.

Parking in the Short North can be challenging, especially on weekends, but a charter bus will drop your group off right in the center of the action. You’ll have a designated driver for the evening, so you can enjoy cocktails or craft beer without worrying about getting home safely. Other popular nightlife spots in Columbus include the Arena District and German Village.

German Village

Step back in time with a visit to German Village, one of Columbus’s oldest and most charming neighborhoods. This historic district is famous for its brick streets, quaint cottages, and beautiful gardens. You can take a walking tour of the area, visit the iconic Book Loft, or enjoy authentic German food and beer at Schmidt’s Sausage Haus.

German Village is a great destination for history buffs, architecture fans, or anyone who appreciates old-world charm. A charter bus will make it easy to navigate the narrow streets and limited parking options in the neighborhood. After exploring German Village, you can cross the river to visit the Brewery District or catch a show at Shadowbox Live.

Cosi (center of Science and Industry)

COSI is a hands-on science museum that’s fun for kids and adults alike. With interactive exhibits on space, technology, health, and the environment, as well as live demonstrations and a planetarium, COSI offers hours of educational entertainment. Don’t miss the outdoor dinosaur gallery or the giant Tesla coil show.

School groups and youth organizations love visiting COSI, and a charter bus is the best way to get them there. You’ll have plenty of storage space for lunches and supplies, and you can schedule your arrival and departure times to fit your itinerary. COSI is located on the Scioto Riverfront, close to downtown hotels and restaurants.

Nationwide Arena

Sports fans won’t want to miss a trip to Nationwide Arena, home of the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets. This state-of-the-art venue hosts hockey games, concerts, and special events year-round. The surrounding Arena District is packed with bars, restaurants, and entertainment options, making it a popular destination for a night out.

Charter buses are ideal for transporting large groups of fans to and from the arena. You can tailgate before the game, avoid the hassle of downtown parking, and celebrate a victory on the ride home. If you’re a fan of college sports, you can also catch an Ohio State football game at Ohio Stadium or a basketball game at Value City Arena.

Shopaholics will love spending a day at Easton Town Center, Columbus’s premier shopping and entertainment destination. This open-air complex features more than 200 stores, including high-end retailers, department stores, and specialty shops. There are also dozens of restaurants, a movie theater, and a comedy club.
