Charter Buses to the Museum of Science and Boston's Top Student Destinations
Busrentalnashua.com makes it so easy to arrange a charter bus from Nashua to Boston for your next field trip! The Museum of Science (1 Science Park, Boston, MA 02114) is one of the most popular destinations for Nashua-area school groups, and bus drop-off is at the Science Park entrance on O'Brien Highway, with no bus parking on Museum grounds beyond drop-off and pickup; buses park at the Boston Autoport in Charlestown at $65 per school bus, paid in advance per the Museum of Science group visit page. The Boston Autoport is 1.2 miles from the Museum at 300 Terminal Street, Boston, MA 02128, so your bus unloads the class at the Museum and parks off-site until pickup; see the Museum of Science field trip bus parking guide for the staging address and rate.
The New England Aquarium (1 Central Wharf, Boston, MA 02110) and the Boston Children's Museum (308 Congress St, Boston, MA 02210) are other favorites along the same US-3 corridor, about 55 miles south of Nashua. Build in an extra 20 to 45 minutes for morning rush traffic at the NH/MA state line near the Salem/Nashua corridor on school-day departures, and your group arrives on time and together!
Charter Buses to Canterbury Shaker Village, Strawbery Banke, and New Hampshire History Sites
Check off your New Hampshire history curriculum with a charter bus to some of the state's most celebrated living history destinations! Canterbury Shaker Village (288 Shaker Rd, Canterbury, NH 03224) is a National Historic Landmark about 45 miles north of Nashua with ample on-site bus parking and guided school group tours — reserve in advance by calling the venue directly at (603) 783-9511. Strawbery Banke Museum (14 Hancock St, Portsmouth, NH 03801) is about 55 miles east via NH-101 and offers bus drop-off on Hancock Street with group logistics coordinated through their sales office at (603) 433-1100.
During Springfest, Ghosts on the Banke, Candlelight Stroll, and other special events, Strawbery Banke Museum has no on-site parking, so your bus uses 14 Hancock Street for the arrival point and keeps the return pickup plan separate. The American Independence Museum (1 Governors Lane, Exeter, NH 03833) — home to an original draft of the Bill of Rights — rounds out the NH social studies circuit perfectly. Busrentalnashua.com makes comparing buses for any of these runs fast and easy!
Minibuses and Charter Buses to Manchester's Museums and Science Centers
Forget juggling parent carpools for your next Manchester field trip! The Millyard Museum (200 Bedford St, Manchester, NH 03101) tells the story of the Amoskeag Mills and New Hampshire's industrial past, and it sits just 18 miles north of Nashua via US-3 — a quick, easy run for a minibus. Bus drop-off is on Bedford Street, and oversized vehicles can stage at the Arms Park Garage on Commercial Street; call the venue directly at (603) 622-7531 to coordinate group logistics.
For Millyard Museum field trips, the Manchester Historic Association's education contact is (603) 622-7531, extension 303, so your bus schedule and school-visit timing stay connected through the same reservation contact; the Manchester Historic Association field trip information has the current booking contact. Science Enrichment Encounters (32 Concord St, Manchester, NH 03101) offers hands-on science programs for K–12 groups at the same distance. The Currier Museum of Art (150 Ash St, Manchester, NH 03104) and the Palace Theatre (80 Hanover St, Manchester, NH 03101) round out a full day of arts and culture for older students.
One bus keeps the whole class together for every stop!

Mack's Apples (230 Mammoth Rd, Londonderry, NH 03053) is about 10 miles southeast and another top choice for fall outings.
For groups willing to travel a bit farther, the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center (23 Science Center Rd, Holderness, NH 03245) offers live animals and nature trails about 80 miles north, and the NH Audubon McLane Center (84 Silk Farm Rd, Concord, NH 03301) brings wildlife education about 40 miles up I-93.

Space and Science Field Trips to the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in Concord

Bus parking is available on site in the main lot off Institute Drive, and groups should call ahead at (603) 271-7827 to coordinate arrival. School visits run October through June, Tuesdays through Thursdays, with suggested start times of 9:00, 9:30, or 10:00 a.m. and a recommended three-hour visit; your bus gets the class there for the full program instead of squeezing science into a rushed stop through the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center school visit schedule.
A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is a great fit for single-classroom trips, while a 56-passenger motorcoach handles full-grade visits with ease. Busrentalnashua.com lets you compare both side by side from a network of transportation companies serving Nashua, so you match the bus to your headcount instead of the other way around. Call 603-288-6180 to get started!
