Preschool Field Trips: Hands-On Learning Up Close
From riverside nature walks to behind-the-scenes zoo tours, Miami Beach offers engaging outdoor activities and immersive indoor exhibits perfect for keeping preschoolers excited about learning. Charter bus rentals eliminate the stress of coordinating carpools or keeping track of students on public transit, giving you the flexibility to build an itinerary based on your class’s unique interests.
The Miami Children’s Museum is a top spot for hands-on play-based education. Kids can climb, dig, and explore their way through exhibits focused on art, culture, and STEM. Next, head over to Jungle Island to say hello to orangutans, watch a parrot show, and hand-feed gentle kangaroos. Wind down your field trip with a ride on the old-fashioned carousel in Lummus Park before boarding your charter bus back to school. You can relax with a bus that will get your students home while they nap, snack, or watch a movie after an action-packed day.
Elementary School Field Trips: Discovering the City
As your students get older, field trips become an opportunity to explore the world beyond their neighborhood. Charter bus rentals allow elementary school groups to experience the breadth of arts, culture, science and history Miami Beach has to offer without the headaches of public transportation.
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens offers a perfect blend of art, culture, and nature. Students can tour this former villa of an early 20th century industrialist, learning about life decades ago as they explore rooms filled with antique furnishings and artwork. Outside, expansive gardens with fountains and labyrinths provide space for students to get the wiggles out after being inside.
Book a guided workshop at the Art Deco Museum to give budding artists an introduction to the vivid colors and bold geometric designs of this iconic Miami Beach architectural style. Your group will even get to try their hand at creating their own art deco-inspired work! Then roam the surrounding Art Deco Historic District to spot colorful buildings and classic neon signs.
Middle School Field Trips: Fostering Independence
By middle school, students are ready to direct their own learning and take charge of trip planning. Charter bus rentals make it possible for teachers to hand over the reins and let groups chart their own course for the day based on shared interests.
Divide students into small groups and have each team plan details of a mini-excursion before meeting up at the end of the day for a ride home together. Some may choose to visit the up-close animal encounters at Miami Seaquarium, while others may prefer exploring outdoor art installations at the Perez Art Museum Miami. Transportation between multiple locations is quick and easy with multiple stops in a single charter bus rental.
After dinner at a restaurant on Lincoln Road, students can roam the lively pedestrian mall’s shops and street art displays. Your charter bus driver will park nearby and can keep tabs on groups via phone while giving them space to practice independence.
High School Field Trips: Career Exploration
High school field trips let students explore potential careers and visualize their futures. Reserve a charter bus rental to help ambitious teens access Miami Beach’s wealth of opportunities in industries like hospitality, healthcare, and marine science.
Budding chefs will love exploring culinary arts at Johnson & Wales University’s North Miami campus. After dining in the student-run café for lunch, groups can take part in an interactive baking or pastry class. Students interested in caring for ocean creatures can visit the Seaquarium’s rehabilitation facility to learn about careers in marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation.
Those fascinated by the human body should spend a day at Florida International University’s Herbert Wertheim Medical School. Special classroom workshops dissect what it’s like to work in fields ranging from DNA research to neurosurgery.
College Tours: Finding the Perfect Fit
Narrowing down college options can feel overwhelming, but campus tours help high school students determine if a school is the right fit. Charter bus rentals simplify travel between universities across Miami Beach and beyond, allowing students to experience each at their own pace.
The University of Miami’s Coral Gables campus attracts students seeking strong academics alongside Division I athletics and vibrant student life. Tour the scenic grounds, peek inside state-of-the-art facilities, and grab lunch on campus to experience typical days as a “Cane.” Miami Dade College has multiple campuses perfect for touring, including the Wolfson Campus downtown and the North Campus nestled on the Intracoastal Waterway.
Venture a few hours up Florida’s coast to tour the University of Central Florida’s sprawling campus in Orlando or check out Florida State University in Tallahassee.
