A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
While technically located just across the border in Powell, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is the crown jewel of the area and a must-visit for any group staying in Dublin. Consistently ranked as one of the top zoos in the nation, this massive complex spans over 580 acres and is home to more than 10,000 animals representing over 600 species. It is the perfect destination for school field trips, senior citizen outings, and large corporate family days. When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin, we take the stress out of arrival. Instead of your group getting separated in the massive parking lots or parents struggling to find spots near the entrance, your bus driver can drop your entire group off right at the main gate.
Your group can spend the day exploring distinct regions like the Heart of Africa, where you can hand-feed giraffes, or the Polar Frontier to watch polar bears swim overhead. If you are visiting during the summer, you can easily add a stop at Zoombezi Bay, the onsite water park, to your itinerary. A private charter bus provides a climate-controlled home base for your group, ensuring that after a long day of walking and animal encounters, everyone has a comfortable, air-conditioned seat waiting for them. There is plenty of undercarriage storage for coolers, packed lunches, or souvenirs.

Bridge Park
If you are looking for the modern heartbeat of the city, look no further than Bridge Park. This mixed-use development on the banks of the Scioto River has transformed the local landscape, offering an incredible density of dining, nightlife, and entertainment options that are perfect for adult groups, corporate happy hours, and bachelor or bachelorette parties. Bridge Park is home to the North Market Bridge Park, where your group can sample diverse cuisines from various local vendors, as well as Pins Mechanical Co. for duckpin bowling and arcade games. The area is highly walkable, connected to Historic Dublin by the iconic Dublin Link pedestrian bridge.
Parking in a busy entertainment district like Bridge Park can be a challenge on weekends, but not when you have a private shuttle. Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin can drop your group off curbside near The Exchange or right in front of VASO for rooftop cocktails. Whether you are planning a progressive dinner, a pub crawl, or a team-building event, a minibus rental ensures everyone stays together. Plus, with a driver serving as your designated driver for the evening, your group can fully enjoy the nightlife scene responsibly. Let us handle the logistics while you enjoy the views of the river.

Field of Corn (with Osage Orange Trees)
No trip to Dublin is complete without a stop at one of Ohio’s most unique and quirky roadside attractions: the Field of Corn. Officially titled "Field of Corn (with Osage Orange Trees)," this public art installation by Malcolm Cochran features 109 six-foot-tall concrete ears of corn planted in neat rows. It serves as a tribute to the community’s agricultural history, specifically its background in hybrid corn development. It is a fantastic, quick stop for tour groups, photography clubs, or anyone looking for that perfect, Instagrammable moment that screams "Ohio."
Because this is a roadside park, coordinating a fleet of cars to pull over and park can be disjointed. A charter bus rental makes this stop effortless. Your driver can pull into the designated parking area, allowing your group to disembark, explore the installation, read the interpretive signs, and take group photos among the giant concrete kernels. It is an excellent educational stop for school trips learning about Ohio history or art, and a fun, lighthearted break for corporate groups needing to stretch their legs between meetings. After you’ve got your photos, hop back onto your climate-controlled bus and head to your next destination without missing a beat.

The Dublin Irish Festival
For one weekend every summer (typically the first weekend in August), Dublin, Ohio lives up to its name by hosting the largest three-day Irish Festival on the planet. The Dublin Irish Festival attracts more than 100,000 guests to Coffman Park for a celebration of Irish music, dance, culture, and food. With seven stages, 65 acts, and more than 535 performers, it is a massive event. As you can imagine, with that many attendees, traffic and parking are the biggest hurdles to enjoying the festivities. Streets are closed, lots fill up instantly, and walking distances can be long.
This is where Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin shines. We provide essential transportation solutions for large groups attending the festival. Whether you are a family reunion clan wearing matching green shirts, a corporate group sponsoring a tent, or a travel group coming from Cleveland or Cincinnati, booking a charter bus is the smartest way to attend. We can navigate the road closures and drop your group off at designated shuttle points or near the entrance gates. You won’t have to worry about finding multiple parking spots or coordinating rendezvous points inside the crowded festival. Enjoy the stout, the music, and the culture, and let us worry about the drive home.
Coffman Park 5200 Emerald Pkwy, Dublin, OH 43017
Indian Run Falls
Hidden right in the heart of the city, just minutes from the hustle and bustle of Bridge Park, lies a serene natural oasis: Indian Run Falls. This park features a stunning series of waterfalls and gorges along Indian Run, offering a peaceful retreat into nature. It is an ideal destination for nature lovers, photography groups, and educational field trips focused on geology or local ecosystems. The park includes observation platforms overlooking the falls and trails that take you down to the water's edge, making it accessible for a variety of activity levels.
Parking at the trailhead is limited, which can be a nightmare for convoys of personal vehicles. A minibus or charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin solves this problem instantly. We can drop your group off right at the entrance on Shawan Falls Drive. While your group hikes the trails and enjoys the cascading water, your driver will handle the vehicle. It is a perfect spot for a picnic lunch during a day of touring; your bus offers ample storage for coolers and picnic supplies in the undercarriage bays. After exploring the falls, your group can board the bus to cool off in the A/C before heading to dinner in Historic Dublin.
Indian Run Falls 700 Shawan Falls Dr, Dublin, OH 43017
Muirfield Village Golf Club
Dublin is world-renowned in the sports world as the home of the Muirfield Village Golf Club, founded by Jack Nicklaus. Every year, the course hosts the Memorial Tournament, a prestigious PGA Tour event that draws top golfers and thousands of spectators from around the globe. If you are planning a corporate hospitality trip, a client appreciation outing, or a group trip for golf enthusiasts to attend the tournament, luxury transportation is a must. Arriving in a premium motorcoach sets the tone for a high-end experience.
Traffic during tournament week is intense along Muirfield Drive. Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin offers executive minibus and full-size charter bus rentals that are perfect for navigating the crowds. We can shuttle your VIPs from their hotels in Columbus directly to the course gates. Our buses come equipped with power outlets to keep phones charged for photos of the pros, and WiFi so your guests can track the leaderboard in real-time. For private groups playing the course during non-tournament times, our buses offer plenty of space for golf bags and luggage, ensuring your clubs travel safely and securely.

Historic Dublin
Step back in time by visiting Historic Dublin. With its brick-lined sidewalks, 19th-century architecture, and charming boutiques, this district offers a stark but delightful contrast to the modern Bridge Park across the river. It is the perfect destination for shopping tours, historical society outings, and dining groups. Your group can explore local gems like Ha'penny Bridge Imports of Ireland for authentic gifts, or grab a sweet treat at Johnson's Real Ice Cream. The district is also part of the DORA (Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area), allowing you to sip and stroll.
Navigating the narrow, historic streets with multiple cars can be frustrating. A charter bus rental allows your group to be dropped off centrally on South High Street. From there, you are free to explore at your own pace. If you are planning a "Dublin History & Haunts" tour or a culinary tour of the local eateries, having a dedicated bus waiting for you makes moving between locations seamless. We can easily coordinate pickup on one side of the river and drop-off on the other, allowing your group to walk across the Dublin Link bridge one way without having to double back to retrieve cars.
Historic Dublin S High St, Dublin, OH 43017
Glacier Ridge Metro Park
For active groups, sports teams, and summer camps, Glacier Ridge Metro Park is a top-tier destination. Spanning over 1,000 acres, this park was named for the end moraine left behind by glaciers thousands of years ago. It features a massive obstacle course, extensive hiking and biking trails, disc golf, and the Honda Wetlands area. It is a fantastic spot for team-building exercises, cross-country meets, or environmental science field trips.
Transporting a sports team or a large group of campers requires space for gear, water coolers, and energetic passengers. Our full-size charter buses are up to the task. With massive undercarriage storage bins, you can easily stow sports equipment, bicycles, or picnic gear. The spacious interiors allow athletes to stretch out and rest before or after competition. Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin ensures that your team arrives together and on time for warm-ups. We can even arrange a shuttle service to move your group between the obstacle course area and the wetlands if you are planning a full day of activities across the park's expansive grounds.
Glacier Ridge Metro Park 9801 Hyland-Croy Rd, Plain City, OH 43064
