A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Lawrence Heritage State Park
No trip to Lawrence is complete without understanding the city's monumental role in American history. Lawrence Heritage State Park is the perfect starting point for student groups, history buffs, and tourists alike. The park’s Visitor Center, located in a restored workers' boarding house, offers fascinating exhibits on the textile industry, the Bread and Roses Strike of 1912, and the waves of immigrants who built the city. Groups can walk along the esplanade of the Merrimack River and see the infrastructure that powered the Industrial Revolution.
Booking a charter bus for your visit to Lawrence Heritage State Park eliminates the hassle of coordinating parking in the downtown area. Your driver can drop your group off right at the Visitor Center entrance on Jackson Street, allowing immediate access to the exhibits and canal walks. After your tour, your bus will be waiting to take you to your next destination, whether it's a picnic lunch or a tour of the neighboring mills. With ample storage for backpacks and educational materials, our buses make field trips efficient and stress-free.

The Great Stone Dam
Spanning the Merrimack River, the Great Stone Dam is an engineering marvel and the heartbeat of Lawrence’s industrial past. Constructed in the mid-19th century, it is still one of the largest stone masonry dams in the world. Viewing the water cascade over this massive structure is a breathtaking experience, particularly after a heavy rain. It serves as a fantastic backdrop for group photos and a real-world lesson in hydropower engineering for STEM field trips.
Parking near the dam can be tricky, as viewing spots are located along busy thoroughfares and bridges. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Lawrence is the ideal solution. Your driver can navigate the best viewing points, such as the falls bridge, dropping your group off safely to take in the sights before picking you up curbside. You won't have to worry about crossing busy intersections on foot or finding multiple parking meters. Enjoy the view from the comfort of a climate-controlled cabin before stepping out to hear the roar of the river.
Location: Merrimack River (Best views from the Broadway Bridge or O'Leary Bridge)
Essex Art Center
For groups interested in creativity and culture, the Essex Art Center is a must-visit destination. Located in a renovated mill building on Island Street, this non-profit organization brings art to the community through galleries, classes, and events. It is a vibrant space where visitors can view contemporary exhibitions by local and regional artists. It’s an excellent stop for school art clubs, senior center outings, or corporate teams looking for a creative spark.
Navigating the mill districts can be confusing for those unfamiliar with Lawrence’s one-way streets and canal bridges. When you rent a charter bus with us, navigation becomes our responsibility, not yours. We can shuttle your group directly to the main entrance of the Essex Art Center. If you are attending a special gallery opening or a private workshop, our late-night shuttle services ensure everyone gets home safely after the event. Your group can discuss the exhibits and share photos over the bus’s WiFi while traveling to lunch or back to your point of origin.
Address: 56 Island St, Lawrence, MA 01840
Den Rock Park
If your group wants to escape the urban landscape and enjoy nature, Den Rock Park offers a rugged, wooded retreat right on the edge of the city. Famous for its massive granite rock face and technical rock climbing opportunities, it also features walking trails that are perfect for scout troops, nature clubs, or active corporate retreats. The park provides a serene environment to hike, bird watch, and enjoy the greenery of the Shawsheen River watershed.
Parking at trailheads is often limited and not designed for a convoy of personal vehicles. A charter bus rental is the most eco-friendly and convenient way to get your nature-loving group to the park. Your bus offers plenty of undercarriage storage for hiking gear, climbing equipment, picnic coolers, and extra water. After a day of hiking or climbing, your group will appreciate the comfort of air-conditioned, plush seating for the ride home, rather than cramping into hot cars with muddy boots.
Address: 121 Winthrop Ave (Rte. 114), Lawrence, MA 01843
Veterans Memorial Stadium
Sports are a huge part of the community fabric in Lawrence. Veterans Memorial Stadium is the premier venue for local high school football, track and field events, and community gatherings. Whether you are a visiting team coming to compete against Lawrence High School or a large group of fans coming to cheer on the Lancers, game day traffic and parking can be intense. The energy is electric, but the logistics don't have to be.
Charter Bus Rental Company Lawrence specializes in sports team transportation. We offer spacious 56-passenger motorcoaches that provide ample legroom for athletes to stretch out and rest before the big game. The large luggage bays easily accommodate pads, helmets, uniforms, and training equipment. For fan groups, a private bus means the tailgate starts the moment you board. Avoid the stress of stadium parking lots and get dropped off right at the gate. We handle the driving so you can focus on the win.
Address: 240 Osgood St, Lawrence, MA 01843
Campagnone Common
Located in the heart of downtown Lawrence, directly across from City Hall, Campagnone Common is the city's central green space. Historically significant as a gathering place during the strike of 1912, today it serves as the venue for many of Lawrence’s largest cultural festivals, concerts, and community events. From lively Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations to summer concerts, "The Common" is where the community comes together.
During festivals, parking in downtown Lawrence is virtually impossible to find. By booking a group shuttle with Charter Bus Rental Company Lawrence, you bypass the frustration of circling blocks for a spot. We can drop your group off at a designated point near Jackson or Haverhill Street, allowing you to walk straight into the festivities. If you are organizing a large group for a specific festival, our fleet can handle shuttles from remote parking lots or neighboring towns, ensuring everyone arrives together and ready to celebrate.
Address: 200 Common St, Lawrence, MA 01840
The North Canal
Lawrence’s canal system is a feat of 19th-century engineering that is still impressive today. The North Canal, running parallel to the Merrimack River, was designed to divert water to power the massive textile mills. A walking tour along the canal offers a glimpse into the industrial might that built the city. It is a fascinating destination for engineering students, historical societies, and photographers who appreciate industrial architecture.
Walking tours are great, but getting to the starting point with a large group requires coordination. A minibus rental is perfect for navigating the streets lining the canal district. Your driver can drop you at one end of the canal walk and pick you up at the other, saving your group from having to loop back on foot. This "point-to-point" service maximizes your time sightseeing and minimizes fatigue, making it an excellent option for senior groups or those with limited mobility.
Location: Parallel to Canal St, Lawrence, MA
Belle Isle Seafood
While technically just across the line in Winthrop for the original, the spirit of New England seafood is alive and well in the Merrimack Valley area, and no group trip is complete without a fantastic meal. For a true taste of the region, groups often flock to local staples that can handle a crowd. While exploring Lawrence, you will likely work up an appetite, and heading to a venue that offers the freshest catches is a must. (Note: For large groups dining in Lawrence, consider local favorites like Salvatore's at the Riverwalk).
However, if your itinerary includes a seafood feast, coordinating reservations and arrival times is crucial. When you rent a charter bus, we ensure your group arrives at your dining destination precisely on time. No waiting for stragglers who took a wrong turn. Plus, after a heavy meal of clam chowder and lobster rolls, nothing beats reclining in a comfortable bus seat for a nap on the way home. We can suggest bus-friendly restaurants in the Lawrence area that can accommodate large parties and provide easy access for motorcoaches.

How far in advance should I book my bus?

However, we understand that plans can happen quickly, and we will always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests based on fleet availability.
Is there parking available for the bus at these attractions?

However, downtown areas near Campagnone Common can be tight. One of the biggest benefits of renting with Charter Bus Rental Company Lawrence is that you don't have to worry about parking! Your driver will drop your group off at the entrance and handle parking the bus at a designated off-site location or staging area until you are ready to be picked up.
Do your buses have WiFi and power outlets?
