A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Untermyer Gardens Conservancy
Perhaps the crown jewel of Yonkers, the Untermyer Gardens Conservancy is a stunning destination that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of nearby New York City. This 43-acre historic park is a favorite for wedding parties, senior citizen tour groups, and photography enthusiasts. The garden features a walled Persian Garden (the finest of its kind in the Western Hemisphere), the Vista steps leading down to the Hudson River, and the romantic Temple of Love. It is an architectural masterpiece that requires time to explore fully.
Why visit by bus? Parking at Untermyer can be limited, especially on weekends when the gardens draw crowds from across the tri-state area. A charter bus rental eliminates the parking headache entirely. Your driver can drop your group off right at the main gate on North Broadway, allowing you to walk straight into the Walled Garden without delay. After your tour, your bus will be waiting to whisk you away to lunch or your next destination.
Address: 945 N Broadway, Yonkers, NY 10701
Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts
For adult groups looking for excitement, Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway is the ultimate entertainment destination. Whether you are planning a bachelor party, a corporate team-building night out, or a fundraiser, this venue offers over 5,000 slot machines, electronic table games, and live harness racing. It’s a high-energy environment perfect for letting loose.
Why visit by bus? The most significant benefit of renting a party bus or charter bus for a casino trip is safety and convenience. With a private bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Yonkers, you have a built-in designated driver for the entire evening. Your group can enjoy cocktails and the thrill of the games without worrying about rideshares or driving home late at night. We can arrange a pick-up and drop-off schedule that suits your night, ensuring everyone arrives home safely.
Address: 810 Yonkers Ave, Yonkers, NY 10704
Hudson River Museum
Located on the banks of the Hudson River, the Hudson River Museum (HRM) is a cultural anchor in Yonkers and an ideal stop for school field trips and educational tours. The complex includes a planetarium, contemporary art galleries, and the Glenview Historic Home—a Gilded Age mansion restored to its former glory. The museum offers a unique blend of art, science, and history that appeals to students and adults alike.
Why visit by bus? School buses are the standard for field trips, but upgrading to a charter bus rental ensures comfort for students and teachers alike, especially if you are traveling from outside Westchester County. With onboard TVs and DVD players, you can play educational documentaries on the way to the museum. Your driver can navigate the tight turns near Warburton Avenue and drop your group at the designated group entrance, making check-in a breeze.
Address: 511 Warburton Ave, Yonkers, NY 10701
LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester
If you are planning a trip for a youth group, summer camp, or a child's birthday party, LEGOLAND Discovery Center at Ridge Hill is a must-visit. This indoor attraction features millions of LEGO bricks, a 4D cinema, two rides, and MINILAND, a recreation of New York landmarks made entirely of LEGOs. It is an immersive experience that keeps kids entertained for hours.
Why visit by bus? Ridge Hill is a sprawling complex, and keeping a large group of energetic children together in a parking garage can be stressful. A charter bus rental allows for curbside drop-off near the attraction entrance. Plus, the onboard storage bays in our buses provide ample room for any gift shop purchases, packed lunches, or diaper bags you might need for the day.
Address: 39 Fitzgerald Street, Yonkers, NY 10710
Tibbetts Brook Park
For a summer outing, corporate picnic, or family reunion, Tibbetts Brook Park is one of the best recreational spots in Yonkers. This 161-acre park offers hiking trails, playing fields, and an aquatic complex that features a lazy river, water sprays, and swimming pools. It’s a fantastic location to enjoy the outdoors without leaving the city limits.
Why visit by bus? When organizing a large picnic or reunion, you are often transporting more than just people—you have coolers, folding chairs, sports equipment, and food. A full-size charter bus offers massive undercarriage luggage bays perfect for hauling all your event gear. Your driver handles the navigation to the Midland Avenue entrance, so you can focus on setting up the grill and enjoying the day.
Address: 355 Midland Ave, Yonkers, NY 10704
Ridge Hill
Ridge Hill is more than just a shopping mall; it is an open-air town square featuring high-end retail, diverse dining options, and entertainment like the Showcase Cinema de Lux. It is a popular destination for shopping tours, senior groups, and teenagers. The walkable layout makes it easy to spend a whole afternoon browsing shops and enjoying a group dinner.
Why visit by bus? Ridge Hill is located on a hill (as the name suggests), and navigating the various parking structures can be confusing for first-time visitors in separate cars. By renting a minibus for your shopping trip, you can coordinate a specific pick-up time and location. Your group can shop 'til they drop, storing their bags safely on the bus while they grab dinner at one of the many restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory or Yard House.
Address: 1 Ridge Hill Boulevard, Yonkers, NY 10710
Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site
History buffs will appreciate a visit to Philipse Manor Hall, the oldest standing building in Westchester County. Dating back to the 1680s, this museum offers a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy Philipse family and the enslaved people who lived and worked there. It is a vital piece of American history located right in the heart of downtown Yonkers.
Why visit by bus? Downtown Yonkers is a busy urban environment with one-way streets and limited street parking. A bus driver is essential for navigating this area efficiently. While your group takes a guided tour of the manor, your driver can handle the vehicle logistics, returning to pick you up right at the front door when you are ready to depart.
Address: 29 Warburton Ave, Yonkers, NY 10701
The Science Barge
For a truly unique educational experience, visit The Science Barge. Docked on the Hudson River, this floating environmental education center runs entirely on renewable energy (solar, wind, and biofuels). It is essentially a prototype for sustainable urban farming, growing fresh produce with zero net carbon emissions. It’s a fascinating stop for STEM field trips and eco-conscious groups.
Why visit by bus? The Science Barge is located near the Yonkers train station and the waterfront, areas that can be congested. A minibus rental is the perfect size for navigating the waterfront district. Plus, with free WiFi on board, students can start working on their sustainability projects or worksheets immediately after the tour while the information is fresh in their minds.
Address: 99 Dock St, Yonkers, NY 10701
