Instead, you get to compare buses, vehicle types, amenities, and pricing from multiple providers all in one place.

See Different Buses, Pictures, and Packages for Your School Event Transportation
It's never been easier to match the right bus to your field trip headcount! On Mentorcharterbuscompany.com, you can compare everything from compact 15-passenger minibuses all the way up to full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches — and every size in between. Smaller minibuses work perfectly for enrichment groups or after-school programs making a short hop to Holden Arboretum (9500 Sperry Rd, Kirtland, OH 44094), just ten miles south of Mentor.
Full-size charter buses give an entire grade level room to spread out on a longer run to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo (3900 Wildlife Way, Cleveland, OH 44109) or COSI Columbus (333 W Broad St, Columbus, OH 43215) for an overnight trip.

Take Your Class to Lake Farmpark or Holden Arboretum Without the Carpool Chaos
Mentorcharterbuscompany.com makes it incredibly simple to get your whole class to two of Mentor's closest and most beloved field trip destinations! Lake Farmpark (8800 Euclid Chardon Rd, Kirtland, OH 44094), operated by Lake County Metroparks, is only about ten miles south of Mentor on SR-306 and has a dedicated bus drop-off area for school groups — but their programs fill up months in advance for spring dates, so booking your bus early is essential. Just down the road, Holden Arboretum — one of the largest arboreta in North America at over 3,500 acres — offers hands-on outdoor education with on-site bus parking.

Visit James A. Garfield's Home — Right Here in Mentor
Hit one of the most historically significant field trip destinations in all of Lake County without leaving Mentor! James A. Garfield National Historic Site (8095 Mentor Ave, Mentor, OH 44060), known as Lawnfield, is run by the National Park Service and sits right on Mentor Avenue — the same road that runs through the heart of the city. School groups get free admission — the National Park Service eliminated the site's entrance fee in 2022 — and on-site bus parking is available for groups that call the site ahead of their visit.
Because the site is so close, even a 15- to 20-passenger minibus works perfectly for a smaller enrichment group. Mentorcharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to compare the right size bus for your group and find pricing in seconds. Call 440-890-5160 to get started!
We Make Spring Field Trip Season Stress-Free for Mentor Teachers and Coordinators
We know spring field trip season in Mentor is a race against the calendar. April and May are the single busiest months for school transportation across Lake County, with Mentor Exempted Village School District schools, Lake Catholic, and dozens of other area schools all competing for the same bus availability on the same weekend dates. Lake Farmpark and Holden Arboretum school programs routinely fill two to three months out for May dates.
That's exactly why Mentorcharterbuscompany.com gives you access to a large network of independently owned bus companies instead of just one — so when one fleet is fully booked, there are still more options to compare. Book as early as you can, and use Mentorcharterbuscompany.com's 30-second online quote tool to see what's available right now!

For spring field trips — especially April and May dates — book four to eight weeks in advance at a minimum, and earlier is always better. Lake County's spring season is extremely competitive: Lake Farmpark, Holden Arboretum, and the major Cleveland destinations all fill fast, and bus availability tightens right alongside venue availability. If your field trip date is tied to a school program reservation at Lake Farmpark or Holden Arboretum, lock in your bus the same week you confirm that reservation.
Waiting until the last minute means fewer vehicle options and higher rates.
It depends on your headcount. Lake Farmpark is only about ten miles south on SR-306, so the ride is short — a 15- to 35-passenger minibus works perfectly for a single classroom, while a 40- to 56-passenger charter bus handles a full grade level. Lake Farmpark has a dedicated bus drop-off area for school groups.
On Mentorcharterbuscompany.com, you can compare both minibuses and full-size charter buses side by side and find the size that matches your exact student and chaperone count.
Absolutely! Both destinations are roughly 27 to 28 miles west of Mentor — about 30 to 45 minutes via SR-2 or I-90 depending on traffic. The Great Lakes Science Center offers bus drop-off along Erieside Avenue, and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History offers discounted self-guided group rates for K-12 school groups (free for Title I schools) with advance booking and a bus drop-off area near the museum.
A full-size 56-passenger motorcoach keeps the whole grade together for the run. Compare available buses and get instant pricing through Mentorcharterbuscompany.com in under 30 seconds!
Yes! For multi-day trips to destinations like COSI Columbus or the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium — about two and a half hours south — full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches in the network come with reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi on many models, and onboard restrooms, making the long ride comfortable for students and chaperones alike. Just mention your overnight itinerary when you fill out the quote form or call 440-890-5160, and the team can help put together a package that fits your multi-day schedule.
