A Group Travel Guide to Lincoln, Nebraska's Best Destinations

Memorial Stadium

If there is one thing that defines Lincoln, it is the “Sea of Red.” On game days, Memorial Stadium becomes the third-largest city in Nebraska, boasting a capacity of over 85,000 screaming fans. If you are heading to see the Nebraska Cornhuskers take the field, the last thing you want to worry about is navigating the gridlock traffic around the stadium or paying exorbitant fees for parking blocks away. Whether you are an alumni group, a student organization, or just a massive group of friends, a charter bus rental is the ultimate game-day hack.

With a private bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Lincoln, you can load up your tailgating gear—coolers, grills, tents, and chairs—into the spacious undercarriage storage bays. Your group can start the pre-game festivities on the road with onboard flat-screen TVs to watch pre-game commentary and a PA system to get the fight songs going. Your driver will drop you off within walking distance of the stadium gates and handle the parking logistics while you head in to catch the action. After the game, you’ll have a comfortable, climate-controlled ride waiting to take you to your next destination or back home safely.

Historic Haymarket District

For groups looking to experience the heartbeat of Lincoln’s dining and nightlife scene, the Historic Haymarket District is the place to be. Located just west of downtown, this revitalized warehouse district features brick streets lined with unique shops, art galleries, microbreweries, and some of the best restaurants in the state. It is a fantastic destination for corporate team dinners, bachelor and bachelorette parties, or simply a night out on the town. However, parking in the Haymarket can be scarce, especially on weekends or during events.

By booking a minibus or party bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Lincoln, you ensure that everyone in your group can enjoy the nightlife responsibly. You won’t have to designate a driver or wait for multiple rideshares to pick up your group. Your driver can drop you off right near landmarks like the majestic clock tower or Lazlo’s Brewery & Grill. Hop between bars, enjoy a nice dinner at The Oven, or grab ice cream at Ivanna Cone without a single worry about how you’re getting back to the hotel.

Nebraska State Capitol

Known as the “Tower of the Plains,” the Nebraska State Capitol is an architectural marvel and a must-see for educational groups, history buffs, and architecture enthusiasts. Unlike the traditional domed capitols found in most states, Nebraska’s capitol features a 400-foot domed tower that can be seen from miles away. The interior is adorned with stunning mosaics and murals depicting the history of the state. It is an ideal destination for school field trips and private tour groups wanting to learn more about Nebraska's legislative history.

When you rent a charter bus for a field trip to the Capitol, you upgrade the experience for students and chaperones alike. Forget the cramped, hot yellow school bus. Our charter buses come equipped with air conditioning, comfortable seating, and even WiFi and DVD players to keep students entertained during the drive. We can coordinate with your school to ensure a seamless drop-off at the K Street entrance, allowing your group to head straight into the rotunda for your scheduled tour while your driver parks the bus in a designated area.

Lincoln Children's Zoo

If you are traveling with younger children, a family reunion, or a school group, the Lincoln Children's Zoo is a top-tier destination. Designed specifically for children to experience animals up close, this zoo features over 400 animals, including red pandas, cheetahs, and giant anteaters. It is a manageable size for walking but packed with interactive exhibits like the dinosaur dig and the animal encounter stage. Coordinating a large group of kids and parents can be chaotic, but private transportation keeps everyone together.

Charter Bus Rental Company Lincoln simplifies the logistics of a zoo trip. Instead of a convoy of parents trying to follow each other on I-180, everyone travels in one secure vehicle. The ample storage space on our buses is perfect for storing packed lunches, strollers, and extra supplies that you might not want to carry through the zoo all day. Your driver will drop your group off right at the main entrance, making headcounts easy and safe before you start your wild adventure.

Sunken Gardens

Listed as one of the best gardens in the United States to visit, Sunken Gardens is a floral masterpiece located in the heart of Lincoln. This 1.5-acre public garden was originally a Depression-era project and has since transformed into a lush oasis featuring thousands of annuals, reflecting pools, and intricate landscaping. It is a wildly popular spot for wedding ceremonies, photography clubs, and senior citizen tour groups looking for a peaceful afternoon.

If you are planning a wedding in Lincoln, consider using Charter Bus Rental Company Lincoln to shuttle your guests to the Sunken Gardens for the ceremony or for photos. Parking at the gardens is limited, which can be stressful for guests arriving in their own cars. A dedicated wedding shuttle ensures that your guests arrive on time and are dropped off right at the entrance, keeping their formal wear pristine. After the photos are taken or the vows are exchanged, your shuttle can whisk everyone away to the reception venue while they enjoy air-conditioned comfort.

Pinnacle Bank Arena

Since opening its doors in the West Haymarket District, Pinnacle Bank Arena has become the premier entertainment hub of Lincoln. It is the home court for the Nebraska Cornhuskers men's and women's basketball teams and hosts major concerts, rodeos, and touring shows throughout the year. Whether you are taking a youth basketball team to see the Huskers play or organizing a group of friends to see a chart-topping artist, getting to "The Vault" is easier with a bus rental.

Downtown traffic during a sold-out event at Pinnacle Bank Arena can be intense. By booking a charter bus or minibus, you eliminate the need for your group to pay for expensive parking garage spots or walk long distances in the cold winter air. Your driver can drop your group off near the arena entrance and return for pickup once the encore is over. This is especially helpful for corporate outings or large social groups where keeping everyone together is a priority.

Address: 400 Pinnacle Arena Dr, Lincoln, NE 68508

Museum of American Speed

For car enthusiasts, engineering students, or corporate groups looking for a unique venue, the Speedway Motors Museum of American Speed is a hidden gem in Lincoln. This museum houses a spectacular collection of racing engines, vintage cars, and automotive memorabilia that chronicles the history of American racing and performance. It is an engaging destination for technical schools or history groups.

Visiting the museum with a group is a breeze with Charter Bus Rental Company Lincoln. We can arrange transportation for large tour groups coming from Omaha, Kansas City, or beyond. Our comfortable motorcoaches allow your group to relax and socialize on the way to the museum. Once there, you can explore the three levels of automotive history at your own pace, knowing your transportation is waiting for you. This is also a popular stop for bachelor parties or corporate team-building events, and a minibus rental is the perfect way to get there in style.

Sheldon Museum of Art

Located on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus, the Sheldon Museum of Art houses a comprehensive collection of American art in a landmark building designed by Philip Johnson. It includes a sculpture garden that is perfect for strolling. This destination is ideal for university campus tours, art appreciation societies, and high school field trips. However, navigating a university campus with multiple cars can be confusing and parking is often restricted.

Charter Bus Rental Company Lincoln is experienced in campus transportation. We can drop your group off near the museum or the student union, allowing easy access to the exhibits. If you are planning a broader tour of UNL for prospective students, your charter bus can serve as your mobile base, taking you from the city campus to the east campus and everywhere in between without the hassle of finding visitor parking at every stop. Keep your students engaged with onboard amenities like WiFi while moving between campus landmarks.
