A Group Travel Guide to Manchester, New Hampshire's Best Destinations

Currier Museum of Art

For art enthusiasts and educational groups alike, the Currier Museum of Art is a crown jewel of New Hampshire culture. Located in a historic residential neighborhood, this internationally renowned museum features European and American paintings, decorative arts, photographs, and sculpture. When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Manchester, you avoid the stress of finding parking on the residential streets surrounding the museum. Your driver can drop your group off right at the main entrance at 150 Ash St, Manchester, NH 03104, allowing for immediate access to the galleries.

Inside, your group can marvel at works by Picasso, Monet, O'Keeffe, and Wyeth. If you are visiting with a school group or a private art club, a charter bus creates the perfect environment to discuss the upcoming exhibits or debrief after the tour. Our buses come equipped with PA systems, allowing tour leaders to provide context and history before arrival. Additionally, the Currier manages the nearby Zimmerman House, the only Frank Lloyd Wright house in New England open to the public. While shuttle tours to the house are managed by the museum, having a charter bus as your home base ensures that your group arrives on time for these scheduled, ticketed events without the risk of stragglers getting lost in transit.

Delta Dental Stadium (Home of the NH Fisher Cats)

There is nothing quite like a summer evening in Manchester cheering on the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, the Double-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays. Located right along the Merrimack River, Delta Dental Stadium offers a quintessential minor league baseball experience that is perfect for company outings, youth sports teams, and family reunions. Getting a large group to the stadium at 1 Line Dr, Manchester, NH 03101 can be chaotic if everyone drives separately, especially when navigating the traffic around Granite Street before the first pitch.

With a sporting event charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Manchester, your entire roster stays together. We offer spacious undercarriage storage bays perfect for hauling tailgating gear, coolers, and banners. If you are transporting a Little League team to catch a game, our coaches offer plenty of room for equipment bags and uniforms. Your driver will handle the navigation through the busy Millyard district, dropping you off near the gates so you can head straight for your seats or the concessions. After the game (and the post-game fireworks!), you won’t have to worry about finding your car in a crowded lot or waiting for surge-priced rideshares. Your private bus will be warm, comfortable, and ready to take everyone home safely.

The Palace Theatre

For a touch of historic glamour and high-quality entertainment, The Palace Theatre is a must-visit destination in downtown Manchester. Built in 1915, this stunning venue hosts Broadway-style musicals, concerts, and comedy acts year-round. Located at 80 Hanover St, Manchester, NH 03101, the theatre is right in the heart of the city’s dining and entertainment district. However, downtown parking can be scarce, particularly on show nights when multiple events are happening in the city.

By renting a minibus or charter bus, you can turn a night at the theater into a true VIP experience. Plan a dinner at a nearby restaurant on Elm Street, and let your driver shuttle your group directly to the theater doors before curtain call. This is an excellent option for senior citizen groups, school drama clubs, or corporate client appreciation nights. Our buses offer plush, reclining seats and climate control, ensuring that even if it is snowing outside—common during the theatre’s busy winter season—your group remains cozy and comfortable. You can even request a bus with DVD players to watch the movie version of the musical you are about to see while en route to the show!

SEE Science Center

If you are organizing a school field trip or a youth group outing, the SEE Science Center is one of Manchester's most engaging destinations. Located within the historic Amoskeag Millyard at 200 Bedford St, Manchester, NH 03101, this hands-on learning center focuses on interactive exhibits that promote science, technology, engineering, and math. One of the biggest draws is the massive LEGO® Millyard Project, a permanent representation of Manchester's heritage built with over 3 million bricks.

Transporting energetic students requires a vehicle that prioritizes safety and organization. Charter Bus Rental Company Manchester is the top choice for schools in the Manchester School District and beyond because we provide modern, reliable buses with dedicated drivers. Forget the cramped, hot yellow school bus; upgrade your field trip with a charter bus rental featuring air conditioning and onboard restrooms. This ensures fewer unscheduled stops and a more focused group of students upon arrival. We can easily accommodate multiple classes with our fleet of 56-passenger motorcoaches, ensuring that teachers, chaperones, and students all travel together seamlessly.

Lake Massabesic

Just minutes from downtown Manchester lies a pristine natural escape: Lake Massabesic. Serving as the city's water supply and a hub for outdoor recreation, this area is fantastic for hiking, picnicking, and nature photography. The Massabesic Center, operated by NH Audubon, is located nearby at 26 Audubon Way, Auburn, NH 03032, and serves as a great starting point for educational nature walks and environmental programs.

For corporate retreats looking for fresh air or scout troops working on merit badges, a charter bus rental is the most efficient way to access the trails. While parking lots at trailheads can fill up quickly on weekends, a bus can drop your group off and park in designated overflow areas until you are ready to leave. If you are planning a hiking trip, the storage space on a full-size charter bus is invaluable. You can stow hiking poles, extra water, picnic coolers, and backpacks in the luggage bays, keeping the cabin clutter-free. After a long day on the trails, your group will appreciate relaxing in a climate-controlled cabin with reclining seats for the ride back to the city.

SNHU Arena

As the largest indoor venue in New Hampshire, the SNHU Arena attracts major concerts, monster truck rallies, and sporting tournaments. Located at 555 Elm St, Manchester, NH 03101, the arena draws crowds from all over New England. Whether you are a group of students from Southern New Hampshire University heading to a graduation ceremony or a fan club traveling to see a major rock band, traffic congestion around Elm and Granite Streets can be intense during events.

Charter Bus Rental Company Manchester eliminates the hassle of event logistics. We can organize a shuttle service from off-site parking lots or transport your group directly from neighboring cities like Nashua, Concord, or even Boston. A private party bus or charter bus allows your group to keep the energy high before the event with onboard sound systems and LED lighting (available on select party buses). More importantly, it ensures comfort. If your group plans on enjoying adult beverages at a concert, having a designated driver is the comfortable and most responsible choice. We handle the gridlock so you don't have to.

McIntyre Ski Area

You don’t have to drive hours north to the White Mountains to hit the slopes. McIntyre Ski Area, located right within the city limits at 50 Chalet Ct, Manchester, NH 03104, is a favorite spot for school ski clubs, corporate winter outings, and tubing parties. While convenient, transporting skis, snowboards, and winter gear in personal vehicles is a logistical nightmare that often results in wet car seats and cramped passengers.

Book a charter bus for your ski trip and take advantage of the massive undercarriage storage bins specifically designed for heavy luggage and sports equipment. Your group can stow their skis and snowboards safely below while staying warm and dry up above. We work frequently with schools and youth organizations to provide recurring shuttle services throughout the winter season. After a freezing day on the slopes or the tubing hill, there is nothing better than stepping onto a pre-heated bus. Your driver will be waiting to whisk your tired but happy group back home or to a local restaurant for hot chocolate and warm meals.

Millyard Museum

To truly understand Manchester, you must understand the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, which once operated the largest textile mill complex in the world right here on the banks of the Merrimack. The Millyard Museum, located at 200 Bedford St, Manchester, NH 03101 (in the same complex as the SEE Science Center), offers a fascinating look into 11,000 years of regional history. It is a prime destination for senior tour groups, history buffs, and educational cohorts.

Navigating the historic mill district can be tricky for those unfamiliar with the area's converted industrial layout. When you rent a bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Manchester, you get a driver who knows the lay of the land. We can arrange drop-offs right at the mill entrance, making the museum accessible for visitors with limited mobility. For senior groups, our modern buses can be requested with kneeling features or lifts to ensure easy boarding. Combine a trip to the Millyard Museum with a walking tour of the riverfront or a meal at one of the trendy restaurants now occupying the repurposed mill buildings for a full day of history and culture.
