Charter Buses to the National Museum of the United States Air Force From Kettering
Busrentalkettering.com is how Kettering teachers and trip coordinators lock in transportation to one of the most popular field trip destinations in all of Ohio — the National Museum of the United States Air Force (1100 Spaatz St, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433). The museum is free to visit, and buses drop off and pick up at the stop sign next to Memorial Park, then park at the end of the parking lot. The drive from Kettering runs about 12 to 15 miles northeast via I-675 N, roughly 20 to 25 minutes.
School groups of 20 or more are encouraged to contact the Education Office at (937) 255-3286 in advance. Education program requests must be submitted at least four weeks before the requested date, so you can line up the museum's school-group timing before your bus rolls out; the National Museum of the United States Air Force field trip information has the registration details. Your bus can also hold sack lunches because outside food is not permitted inside, while picnic shelters beside the parking lot are available first-come, first-served; the National Museum of the United States Air Force motorcoach visit instructions show the full drop-off, pickup, and parking layout.
Compare available buses in seconds and get your group to the world's largest military aviation museum without the carpool headache!
Minibuses and Motorcoaches to the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery
Make your Kettering class's trip to the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery (2600 DeWeese Pkwy, Dayton, OH 45414) the smoothest field trip of the year! The Boonshoft is one of the most-visited school group destinations in the Dayton area, with hands-on science and nature exhibits, a planetarium, and live animals that keep every grade level engaged. Bus parking is available in the main lot on DeWeese Pkwy, and the drive from Kettering runs about 12 miles north via I-75 N — approximately 20 minutes.
The driveway to the right of the parking lot takes buses to drop-off and pickup in front of the museum, so your class steps out at the entrance instead of crossing the lot; the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery parking and transportation details show the approach. Advance reservations are required for school groups, and field trip program requests must be submitted at least three weeks ahead; the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery field trip and group visit page lays out the scheduling window.
