Charter Buses to the KU Natural History Museum and Campus Destinations
When your class is heading to the KU Biodiversity Institute & Natural History Museum (1345 Jayhawk Blvd, Lawrence, KS 66045), getting a full group onto campus smoothly takes a little advance planning — and a bus makes it so much easier than a caravan of parent cars. Buses drop students near Dyche Hall along Jayhawk Boulevard, and extended bus parking on campus is coordinated through KU Parking & Transit at (785) 864-4420. Your bus unloads in front of the museum, then parks in Lot 300, center sections A-D, at the Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Dr; the KU bus across from the Lied Center at Pioneer Cemetery gets you back to main campus through the KU Natural History Museum's bus parking instructions.
One bus, one pickup, one drop-off, and the whole class arrives together ready to explore dinosaur fossils and mounted specimens from across the Great Plains. Compare available buses and get instant pricing for your KU campus field trip at 785-371-8085!
Buses to the Watkins Museum, Prairie Park, and Downtown Lawrence Stops
Got 30 seconds? That's all it takes to get instant pricing for a field trip bus to downtown Lawrence or Prairie Park Nature Center. The Watkins Museum of History (1047 Massachusetts St, Lawrence, KS 66044) sits on the main Massachusetts Street corridor — buses drop on Massachusetts Street or Vermont Street and stage nearby while students explore Bleeding Kansas history and Douglas County artifacts inside.
Head south to Prairie Park Nature Center (2730 Harper St, Lawrence, KS 66046) and the parking lot accommodates buses directly — no side-street staging needed. Contact the Nature Center at (785) 832-7980 ahead of time to confirm group arrangements. Groups of 8 or more should schedule ahead at (785) 832-7980, because unscheduled groups can be asked to delay the visit when the building is busy; the City of Lawrence Prairie Park Nature Center group-visit policy spells out the rule.
