With a large network of transportation providers at your fingertips, you'll find every bus type your field trip could need! Smaller groups heading to the Yakima Area Arboretum (1401 Arboretum Dr, Yakima, WA 98901) for a nature walk or science lesson will love the compact 15- to 35-passenger minibuses — nimble enough to navigate Yakima's streets and easy to park. The arboretum's parking is free, with paved spaces in front of the Jewett Interpretive Center and additional gravel parking by the Jones Center, so your minibus can get your class close to the right starting point.
Yakima Area Arboretum parking and directions are easiest to follow from I-82 Exit 34, Nob Hill Boulevard, South 24th Street, and Arboretum Drive. Larger classes making the trip out to Mount Rainier or the Washington State Capitol in Olympia can stretch out in a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach with reclining seats, overhead storage, onboard restrooms, and undercarriage luggage bays for gear and backpacks.

School Bus Rentals to Agricultural Museums and Yakima Valley Farm Tours
Through the network, you can easily find field trip buses to the region's one-of-a-kind agricultural destinations — experiences no other part of the country can offer quite like the Yakima Valley! The Central Washington Agricultural Museum (4508 Main St, Union Gap, WA 98903) sits just off I-82 south of Yakima with ample bus parking and free admission, making it a favorite low-cost field trip for elementary schools across the valley. And during harvest season each fall, hop yards and apple orchards throughout the valley open their doors to school groups — the Yakima Valley produces approximately 75% of all U.S. hops and roughly 70% of Washington's apple crop.

Charter Bus Rentals to the REACH Museum, Hanford, and the Tri-Cities
Through a network of bus companies serving Yakima and the surrounding region, you can easily find transportation for the popular 75-mile run down I-82 to the Tri-Cities! The REACH Museum (1943 Columbia Park Trail, Richland, WA 99352) — reachable at (509) 943-4100 — brings the history of the Manhattan Project and Hanford Site to life for middle and high school groups, and it's one of the most-visited school field trip destinations from Yakima. Group tours should be scheduled in advance.
Guided K–12 field trips run 1.5 to 2 hours for classes of up to 30 students, and groups larger than 30 are divided into smaller groups, with the museum able to accommodate up to 90 K–12 students at one time. The REACH Museum field trip registration page also calls for one chaperone per seven students, so your bus can arrive with the class already organized for check-in. A full-size 56-passenger motorcoach makes the I-82 drive comfortable, with reclining seats and overhead storage for the whole class.

Minibuses and Motorcoaches to Mount Rainier, Olympia, and Western Washington
When your field trip is heading west over White Pass toward Mount Rainier National Park or all the way to the Washington State Capitol in Olympia, the right bus makes all the difference! For Mount Rainier, buses enter through the Nisqually Entrance (39000 WA-706 E, Ashford, WA 98304) with bus parking available at the Paradise Visitor Center area — advance group registration is recommended through the NPS Mount Rainier group visit page. For Olympia, buses drop off on Capitol Way with surface lot parking available on the Capitol Campus.
One important note: US-12 through White Pass can have chain requirements or closures from November through April — check current conditions at WSDOT's pass conditions page before your trip date. If your Yakima trip uses the summer route through Stevens Canyon, the NPS lists a 12-foot-6-inch tunnel height limit, while its GPS address for the Nisqually Entrance is 39000 State Route 706 E rather than the park administration building address. Use the NPS Mount Rainier directions page to put the right entrance into your bus route.

We strongly recommend booking four to eight weeks in advance for spring field trips, which is the busiest season in Yakima — most schools schedule trips between March and May before state testing windows. Fall harvest-season trips to hop yards and orchards also book up quickly in September and October. Waiting until the last minute in peak season often means fewer vehicle options and higher prices, so book as early as you can!
Yes! ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts and wider aisle space are available through the network of transportation providers serving Yakima. Just mention your accessibility needs — including the number of wheelchair users and any other requirements — when you fill out your quote form or call 509-490-3285.
The booking team will match you with a provider that has the right vehicle for your class.
US-12 through White Pass can have chain requirements or full closures from November through April, which affects field trips to Mount Rainier, Olympia, and the Puget Sound area. Always check current pass conditions at WSDOT's mountain pass conditions page before your departure date. Build extra time into your itinerary for mountain travel, and let your transportation coordinator know your destination so the right vehicle and timing are built into your quote.
