Charter Buses to Exposition Park's Science and History Museums
From Compton, Exposition Park is one of the closest and most content-rich field trip destinations in all of Southern California — and it packs two world-class stops into one visit. The California Science Center (700 Exposition Park Dr., Los Angeles, CA 90037) is home to Space Shuttle Endeavour and draws STEM classes from across LA County. Right next door, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (900 Exposition Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90007) covers everything from dinosaurs to California history.
Your bus drops the class on Exposition Park Dr. near the main entrance, then stages in the designated oversized vehicle spaces in Lot 3 (3900 S. Figueroa St.) — roughly $12–$20 depending on the day. Two Exposition Park bus plans are not interchangeable, so your NHM stop needs its own curb and lot. Your bus unloads on Exposition Park Dr. across the lawn from the museum stairs, then parks in the Green Lot off Hoover Ave. and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.; if the lot fills, it can move to Exposition Park Dr. Charter buses pay a $42 parking rate, while yellow school buses pay $20, as detailed in the NHM field trip parking FAQ.
It's about 7 miles north of Compton via I-110 N, typically 15–25 minutes outside of peak traffic. Compare 15- to 56-passenger buses for your Exposition Park trip through Busrentalcompton.com and get instant pricing in seconds!
School Bus Rentals to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach

It's about 9 miles south of Compton via I-710 S, roughly 20–35 minutes depending on afternoon traffic on the 710 corridor. Your bus drops the class at the designated bus loading zone on Aquarium Way, then parks in Lot 1, where oversized vehicle rates apply (approximately $20–$30/day — pre-arrange with the aquarium for the best staging).

Minibus and Charter Bus Rentals to the Getty Center and Cabrillo Marine Aquarium
Fill out one quick form to compare buses for two of the most distinctive field trip destinations reachable from Compton! The Getty Center (1200 Getty Center Dr., Los Angeles, CA 90049) is free to visit and exceptional for art and architecture field trips — but buses must use the dedicated bus entry at the Sepulveda Gate off Sepulveda Blvd., park in the North Entry Parking garage, where Getty Security directs school buses to their spaces, and ride the included tram up to the museum. After parking, Getty staff place a school-name placard in the bus window, and you should be ready to leave at least 15 minutes before your designated departure time; the Getty education bus instructions spell out the North Entry Parking process.
For a closer, coastal science trip, the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium (3720 Stephen M. White Dr., San Pedro, CA 90731) is about 12 miles south via I-110 S, with bus parking in the main lot off Stephen M. White Dr. (~$10 for oversized vehicles). Compare buses from a network of providers serving Compton and get instant pricing now!
Field Trip Buses to the Los Angeles Zoo and Griffith Observatory
You'll love how easy it is to find and compare field trip transportation to two of LA's most iconic educational destinations — both reachable from Compton in under an hour! The Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens (5333 Zoo Dr., Los Angeles, CA 90027) offers the ZAP program for K–12 groups, with bus parking in the designated bus/RV area of the main lot ($15 bus parking fee) and drop-off near the main entrance on Zoo Dr. For the 2026–2027 school year, LA Zoo field-trip reservations opened August 17, 2026, with currently released dates through December 18, 2026, so early bus comparison matters for those fall dates; the LA Zoo onsite field-trip calendar carries the current release. Planning a trip to Griffith Observatory (2800 E Observatory Rd., Los Angeles, CA 90027)?
Full-size charter buses cannot drive Observatory Rd. to the summit — groups park at the Griffith Park main lot or Greek Theatre lower lot and take the DASH Observatory shuttle ($0.50/rider, runs every day, including holidays) up the hill. A smaller minibus may have more flexibility, so mention your destination when you request your quote! Compare buses through Busrentalcompton.com and find the right fit for your class!
Buses for La Brea Tar Pits, CAAM, and South Bay Museum Trips

It depends on your headcount and destination. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is great for smaller classes or split-group trips and is nimble enough for tighter urban drop-off zones like those at the Getty Center or Griffith Observatory. A 56-passenger charter bus fits a full class with room for backpacks in the undercarriage bays — ideal for Exposition Park, the Aquarium of the Pacific, or the LA Zoo.
Mention your student and chaperone count when you request your quote and the results page will show you the right fits!
Yes! ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms are available through the network. California law and Compton Unified School District policy require accessible transportation for students with mobility needs.
Just mention that you need an ADA-accessible vehicle when you fill out the quote form or call 424-370-2333, and the results will reflect what's available for your date and headcount.
Book at least 4–6 weeks in advance for most field trips, and 8–10 weeks or more for May dates. Spring field trip season — March through May — is the single busiest period for school transportation across Los Angeles County, and buses fill fast. Waiting until the last minute means fewer vehicles to choose from and higher rates.
The earlier you compare through Busrentalcompton.com, the better your options!
Full-size charter buses cannot drive Observatory Rd. to the Griffith Observatory summit due to road width and weight restrictions. Groups with large buses park at the Griffith Park main lot or the Greek Theatre lower lot and take the DASH Observatory shuttle ($0.50/rider, runs every day, including holidays) up the hill. Smaller minibuses under 30 feet may have more flexibility — mention Griffith Observatory as your destination when you request your quote so the results reflect the right vehicle options for that access route.
Yes — for the best staging at Exposition Park, it's smart to pre-arrange oversized vehicle parking in Lot 3 (3900 S. Figueroa St., Los Angeles, CA 90037), which has designated spaces for buses at roughly $12–$20 depending on the day. The California Science Center and Natural History Museum are both accessed via Exposition Park Dr. and Menlo Ave. drop-off zones. Confirm your specific lot assignment with the venue before your visit, since assignments can shift on event days at nearby Banc of California Stadium.
