ben hill griffin stadium

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium — "The Swamp" — is home to the Florida Gators and holds 88,548 fans, making it one of the largest stadiums in the United States. Charter buses approach via Gale Lemerand Drive from the north on game days, and Stadium Road and Museum Road are subject to game-day closures. Confirm your bus parking assignment on the UF Parking & Transportation page before your game, as assignments vary by event.

Home game Saturdays are the highest-demand period for charter buses in all of Gainesville — book early.

Address: 157 Gale Lemerand Dr, Gainesville, FL 32611 Phone: (352) 375-4683

florida museum of natural history

Florida Museum of Natural History

The Florida Museum of Natural History is the largest natural history museum in the southeastern United States and one of the top ten in the country, home to more than 40 million biological and archaeological specimens. The museum's Powell Hall exhibits building is currently closed for a major expansion project, with reopening expected by the end of 2026 — call ahead to confirm current status and group visit options before you book. The adjacent Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art (3259 Hull Rd) remains open Tuesday through Sunday with free admission, and makes an easy stop on the same trip.

Address: 3215 Hull Rd, Gainesville, FL 32611 Phone: (352) 846-2000

kanapaha botanical gardens

Kanapaha Botanical Gardens

Kanapaha Botanical Gardens spans 62 acres of themed gardens in southwest Gainesville, including Florida's largest public bamboo garden and one of the largest herb gardens in the Southeast. The main parking lot is large enough to accommodate motorcoaches — buses park in the main lot with no separate charter bus area required. Admission is charged; group rates are available for parties of 10 or more, who must enter together.

Open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 9am–5pm (last entry 4:15pm); closed Thursday. A charter bus makes this an easy half-day trip for garden clubs, school groups, and family reunions alike.

Address: 4700 SW 58th Dr, Gainesville, FL 32608 Phone: (352) 372-4981

paynes prairie preserve state park

Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park

Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park is a 21,000-acre natural prairie about 10 miles south of Gainesville on US-441, home to bison herds, wild horses, sandhill cranes, and more than 270 bird species. Bus parking is available in the main lot at the visitor center — the lot accommodates large vehicles. Admission is charged per vehicle.

Open daily 8am–sundown; the visitor center keeps shorter hours. The La Chua Trail at the north end of the prairie (accessible from Gainesville) offers the best bison and wildlife viewing. A charter bus makes this a comfortable group nature excursion from downtown Gainesville.

Address: 100 Savannah Blvd, Micanopy, FL 32667 Phone: (352) 466-3397

first magnitude brewing company

First Magnitude Brewing Company

First Magnitude Brewing Company takes its name from the first-magnitude springs of North Central Florida — among the clearest and most prolific in the world. The taproom features a large outdoor beer garden and event space that can accommodate groups. Surface lot parking on SE Veitch Street handles standard vehicles; a charter bus drops your group curbside and stages nearby.

First Magnitude is a natural anchor for a Gainesville brewery crawl, pairing well with Cypress & Grove Brewing Company (1001 NW 4th St) downtown and Swamp Head Brewery (3140 SW 42nd Ave) on the southwest side. A party bus with a built-in bar keeps the energy rolling between every stop.

Address: 1220 SE Veitch St, Gainesville, FL 32641 Phone: (352) 727-4677

hippodrome theatre

Hippodrome Theatre

The Hippodrome Theatre is Gainesville's primary theater, housed in a stunning 1911 federal building in the heart of downtown. With a capacity of 276 in its thrust-stage main theatre, it's an intimate venue where every seat is close to the stage. Charter bus drop-off is on SE 2nd Place; the nearest bus-friendly parking is the Downtown Parking Garage on SE 2nd Avenue, which validates for Hippodrome patrons, or downtown surface lots nearby.

The Hippodrome hosts a full season of plays, musicals, and special events year-round. A minibus is often the right call for a theater group — compact enough to navigate downtown Gainesville's one-way streets and easy to stage nearby for a post-show pickup.
