Topgolf Lake Mary

If you are looking for the ultimate destination for corporate team-building events, bachelor parties, or just a fun night out with a large group of friends, Topgolf Lake Mary is the place to be. This isn't your average driving range; it is a high-tech entertainment complex featuring climate-controlled hitting bays, a full-service restaurant and bar, and a rooftop terrace with fire pits. Groups love it because it caters to all skill levels—you don't need to be a PGA pro to score points and have a great time. However, organizing a large group outing here can be tricky when it comes to parking, especially on busy weekends when the lot fills up fast. By renting a private shuttle bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Lake Mary, your group can be dropped off right at the front entrance.

We can arrange a pickup from your corporate office or hotel and shuttle your entire team to the venue together. This ensures late arrivals don't delay your tee time reservations. Your bus rental can also serve as a safe, designated driver if your group plans on enjoying the extensive drink menu at the venue. With ample storage space on our larger buses, you can even bring along your own clubs if you prefer them over the house rentals. Sit back in air-conditioned comfort and mentally prepare for your swing while we handle the traffic on I-4.

Wekiwa Springs State Park

Just a short drive from Lake Mary, Wekiwa Springs State Park offers a stunning glimpse into Florida’s natural beauty. It is a favorite spot for school field trips, church youth groups, and family reunions looking to cool off in the crystal-clear, 72-degree spring waters. Visitors can swim, canoe, kayak, or hike the miles of nature trails that wind through the park. However, Wekiwa Springs is notoriously popular, and the park frequently reaches capacity early in the morning, especially during the summer and weekends. Once the parking lot is full, the park closes to vehicles. This is where a charter bus rental becomes a game-changer for your group outing.

By booking a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Lake Mary, you can coordinate an early morning arrival to ensure your group gets in before the crowds. Our buses offer massive undercarriage storage bays, which are perfect for hauling coolers, picnic supplies, towels, and hiking gear that would otherwise crowd a standard vehicle. After a long day of swimming and hiking, there is nothing better than climbing aboard a climate-controlled bus, reclining your seat, and relaxing in the A/C for the ride home. We make outdoor adventures in Central Florida accessible and stress-free.

Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens

For educational field trips, summer camp outings, or large family gatherings, the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens in nearby Sanford is a must-visit destination. Home to over 350 animals and lush tropical gardens, the zoo offers interactive experiences like giraffe feeding, a splash pad for the little ones, and the ZOOm Air Aerial Adventures course. Transportation for school groups often defaults to yellow school buses, which can be hot, loud, and uncomfortable on the highway. Upgrade your students' experience by booking a modern charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Lake Mary. Our buses come equipped with seatbelts, comfortable seating, and entertainment options like DVD players and flat-screen TVs to keep kids occupied during the drive.

We work with schools and educational organizations throughout Seminole County to provide safe, reliable transportation. Your driver will drop your group off at the main gate for easy ticketing and entry, then park in the designated bus area until you are ready to depart. Whether you are coming from Lake Mary High School or a private institution, a charter bus ensures that teachers and chaperones can focus on the students rather than navigating traffic on US-17/92.

Lake Mary Farmers Market

For a more relaxed group outing, the Lake Mary Farmers Market held in Central Park is a delightful way to spend a Saturday morning. It is a hub for local vendors selling fresh produce, large plants, handmade crafts, and artisan foods. This is a popular destination for senior living communities, garden clubs, and tour groups looking to experience the local culture. Parking around Central Park and City Hall can be scarce on market days, making a minibus rental an excellent option. Charter Bus Rental Company Lake Mary can drop your group off curbside so they can explore the stalls without worrying about walking long distances from a parking spot.

Our minibuses are perfect for navigating the tighter streets of downtown Lake Mary while offering plenty of overhead storage for the goodies your group purchases. If you are planning a full day of activities, we can shuttle your group from the Farmers Market to a local brunch spot nearby, keeping everyone together and on schedule. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the community atmosphere of Lake Mary without the logistical headache of a multi-car caravan.

Planet Obstacle

When it comes to high-energy fun, Planet Obstacle in Lake Mary takes the cake. Touted as the "World's Largest Indoor Obstacle Park," this massive facility features aerial ropes courses, ninja warrior courses, trampolines, and bumper cars. It is an incredibly popular venue for birthday parties, end-of-year school celebrations, and corporate team-building events that want to break a sweat. Coordinating arrival times for a large group of energetic kids or teenagers can be a nightmare if parents are dropping them off individually. A private bus rental solves this problem instantly.

Rent a charter bus or minibus to transport your entire party to Planet Obstacle at the same time. This ensures that everyone is present for the safety briefing and maximizes your play time. With onboard WiFi and power outlets available on many of our buses, kids can share their excitement on social media on the way there and recharge their devices on the way back. Charter Bus Rental Company Lake Mary ensures the fun starts the moment you step on the bus.

Historic Downtown Sanford

Just a few miles north of Lake Mary lies Historic Downtown Sanford, a rapidly growing destination known for its craft breweries, gastropubs, and scenic Riverwalk along Lake Monroe. For adult groups, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or corporate happy hours, Sanford offers a walkable district packed with entertainment. However, enjoying the local craft beer scene responsibly is a top priority. Instead of relying on multiple rideshares or designating drivers who miss out on the fun, book a private shuttle with Charter Bus Rental Company Lake Mary. Your driver will be your dedicated chauffeur for the evening.

We can organize a "brewery hop" itinerary that drops your group off at popular spots like Celery City Craft or Wops Hops Brewing Company. At the end of the night, your bus will be waiting to transport everyone safely back to their hotels or homes in Lake Mary. Our minibuses are particularly well-suited for evening shuttles, offering a comfortable and stylish ride that keeps the group dynamic alive between stops.

Timacuan Golf & Country Club

Lake Mary is home to some of Central Florida's most prestigious golf courses, and Timacuan Golf & Country Club is consistently ranked among the best. The course is challenging and beautiful, making it a prime location for corporate tournaments, charity fundraisers, and groom's outings. Transporting a large group of golfers—and their clubs—requires space that standard sedans and SUVs just don't have. Charter Bus Rental Company Lake Mary offers 56-passenger motorcoaches with massive under-floor luggage bays that can easily accommodate dozens of golf bags without compromising passenger space.

After a day on the links, your group can relax in the air-conditioned cabin, utilizing the onboard PA system to announce tournament winners or simply enjoying a cold drink. We can shuttle your group from the course to a local steakhouse for dinner, ensuring a high-end experience from start to finish. Impress your clients or guests with professional, executive-level transportation that mirrors the quality of the course itself.

Emil Buehler Perpetual Trust Planetarium

Located on the campus of Seminole State College in nearby Sanford, the Emil Buehler Perpetual Trust Planetarium offers a fascinating educational experience for groups of all ages. From laser shows to guided tours of the night sky, it is a fantastic destination for STEM field trips, scout troops, and astronomy clubs. Navigating a college campus with multiple vehicles can be confusing, especially regarding parking. When you book a charter bus with us, we handle the logistics of drop-off and parking on campus.

The drivers navigate institutional campuses and will ensure your group is dropped off close to the Planetarium entrance. Teachers and group leaders appreciate the ability to do headcounts and briefings while everyone is seated on the bus before disembarking. Turn the drive into an educational opportunity by playing space-themed documentaries on the bus's TV monitors during the ride to the planetarium.
