Charter Buses to the Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden From New Rochelle
With Busrentalnewrochelle.com, renting a charter bus from New Rochelle to the Bronx Zoo (2300 Southern Blvd, Bronx, NY 10460) is one of the easiest field trip decisions you'll make all year! The Bronx Zoo is the closest major field trip destination to New Rochelle — just 20 to 30 minutes down I-95 South without traffic — and it's one of the most popular for Westchester County schools. The Bronx Zoo directs school buses and charter buses to the Southern Boulevard entrance, with a dedicated bus lot right at the main entrance where your bus parks and waits for $24; see the Bronx Zoo's commercial-vehicle directions for the exact approach.
The adjacent New York Botanical Garden (2900 Southern Blvd, Bronx, NY 10458) uses the same I-95 corridor and directs buses to the school bus staging area in the north parking lot off Kazimiroff Boulevard.

New York City Museum Field Trips: AMNH, The Met, and Intrepid Bus Rentals From New Rochelle
It just got easier to plan your next New York City museum field trip from New Rochelle! The American Museum of Natural History (Central Park West at 79th St, New York, NY 10024) requires charter and yellow school buses to use the 81st Street driveway. School buses unload students in the garage; the AMNH field-trip instructions for bus arrivals put the transportation specialist in charge of the final directions.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art (1000 Fifth Ave, New York, NY 10028) takes drop-offs on Fifth Avenue in front of the main entrance, with no school or charter bus parking in the vicinity; the Fifth Avenue and 80th Street garage has a 6' 6" clearance and only offers parking on weekday evenings and weekends, as detailed in The Met's school-group parking instructions. At the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum (Pier 86, 12th Ave at 46th St, New York, NY 10036), buses use the group parking lot on the northbound side of 12th Avenue between 45th and 46th Streets for drop-off, pickup, and bus parking; the lot entrance is on 12th Avenue (West Side Highway), and the Intrepid Museum group parking instructions prohibit bus loading on the southbound side in front of the museum. Keep in mind that the NYC DOT enforces a strict active-loading time limit at museum curbside zones, so having your group organized and ready to board the moment the bus pulls up keeps everything running on schedule.

No. Both the Hutchinson River Parkway and the Bronx River Parkway are restricted to passenger vehicles only — charter buses and school buses are not permitted on either parkway. From New Rochelle, charter buses must use I-95 South to reach the Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden. Plan for 20 to 30 minutes without traffic, and 45 to 60 minutes during the morning peak between 7 and 9 AM.
The AMNH requires charter and yellow school buses to use the 81st Street driveway. School buses drop students in the garage, and the AMNH field-trip instructions for bus arrivals direct transportation specialists to provide the final arrival directions.

Contact AMNH Group Sales at (212) 769-5200 to pre-register your school group.
For New Rochelle groups, the Liberty State Park Ferry Terminal is generally the better option — it offers a large, free designated bus and coach parking lot right at the terminal where the bus can wait during the entire ferry excursion.

Book as early as possible — ideally four to six weeks in advance for most field trips, and two to three months out for high-demand spring dates in April, May, and June when every school in Westchester County is competing for the same buses. End-of-year field trips and multi-day trips like Washington DC eighth-grade excursions fill the calendar fast. The earlier you compare and book through Busrentalnewrochelle.com, the more vehicle options and better pricing you'll find!
