Lewis & Clark Trail Field Trips Made Easy From Great Falls
Through a network of independently owned bus companies serving Great Falls, you can put together field trip transportation to one of the most significant Lewis and Clark sites in the entire country right in your own backyard. The Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail Interpretive Center (4201 Giant Springs Rd, Great Falls, MT 59405) (4201 Giant Springs Rd, Great Falls, MT 59405 — (406) 727-1212) sits along Giant Springs Road, a wide, bus-accessible route with a large surface lot that accommodates motorcoaches with no permit required. The Forest Service site map labels an RV & Bus parking area at the Interpretive Center, giving your motorcoach a named place to go after unloading.
Your bus can unload at the Center and head straight to that marked bus area instead of threading through the regular vehicle spaces; see the official Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center site map for the layout. Many groups combine this stop with a visit next door at Giant Springs State Park (4600 Giant Springs Rd, Great Falls, MT 59405), home to one of the largest freshwater springs in the United States. Advance reservations at the Interpretive Center are recommended for school groups — and booking your bus early is just as smart.

Charter Buses to Glacier National Park for Great Falls School Groups
Make your Glacier National Park field trip the one students talk about for years — and make the 160-mile ride part of the experience! Glacier is roughly a 2.5- to 3-hour run northwest from Great Falls via US-2, and a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and undercarriage storage turns that drive into comfortable, productive travel time instead of a carpool scramble. Going-to-the-Sun Road is typically open from late June through mid-October, so spring Glacier trips often land in late May or early June — one of the busiest booking windows in Montana.
The alpine section has a hard size limit: vehicles longer than 21 feet or wider than 8 feet cannot travel between Avalanche Creek and Rising Sun. Your bus needs to fit those limits for that stretch, so tell Busrentalgreatfalls.com you want Going-to-the-Sun Road included when you request your quote; the official Glacier National Park Going-to-the-Sun Road restrictions spell out the route limits. The earlier you lock in your bus, the more options you'll have.

C.M. Russell Museum and Great Falls Art & History Field Trips
No matter what grade level you are teaching, a field trip to the C.M. Russell Museum (400 13th St N, Great Falls, MT 59401) (400 13th St N, Great Falls, MT 59401 — (406) 727-8787) is one of the most rewarding days a Great Falls classroom can have. School tours are free, and group tours require at least 10 people with reservations at least two weeks ahead by emailing [email protected]. Your bus gets the class to the museum on a scheduled visit, so the day starts on time; the C.M. Russell Museum group and school tour details carry the reservation requirements.
The museum's wide surface lot off 13th Street N accommodates buses, and the approach from Central Avenue keeps oversized vehicles away from tight residential blocks. Pair the Russell with a stop at the Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art (1400 1st Ave N, Great Falls, MT 59401 — (406) 727-8255) for a full arts-and-history day — both venues are within a few minutes of each other in central Great Falls. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is the right call for most classroom-sized groups on this kind of in-city itinerary.

Montana Dinosaur Trail Day Trips From Great Falls
It just got easier to plan one of the most exciting science field trips in the region! Great Falls sits within easy striking distance of two of Montana's premier dinosaur destinations. The Old Trail Museum in Choteau is roughly 60 miles west on US-89 — about an hour's ride — and the Two Medicine Dinosaur Center in Bynum is just another 15 miles beyond that, placing your group in one of the most significant dinosaur fossil regions in North America.
A 15- to 35-passenger minibus handles this run comfortably for a standard class group, while a larger motorcoach works when multiple classes are traveling together. Busrentalgreatfalls.com makes it easy to compare both options from a network of bus companies serving Great Falls — fill out one form and see pricing in seconds, no account needed!
State Capital and Helena Field Trips for Great Falls Classrooms
Busrentalgreatfalls.com makes finding transportation for a Helena field trip straightforward and fast! The Montana State Capitol is about 90 miles south of Great Falls via I-15 — a smooth, roughly 90-minute highway ride that a full-size motorcoach handles with ease. Helena trips often combine the Capitol with the Montana Historical Society Museum and the historic Last Chance Gulch pedestrian mall, giving students a full day of civics and Montana history.
A 56-passenger charter bus with reclining seats and an onboard restroom is the right vehicle for a trip this length — students arrive comfortable and ready to learn instead of cramped from a carpool run. Compare available motorcoaches from the network, check pricing in under 30 seconds, and call 406-965-1380 any time to put together a custom package for your group!

Absolutely! Glacier National Park is about 160 miles northwest of Great Falls — roughly a 2.5- to 3-hour ride via US-2. Full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and undercarriage luggage bays are available through the network for this kind of long-distance day trip.
Going-to-the-Sun Road is typically open late June through mid-October, so plan your booking accordingly. Spring Glacier trips fill fast — book two to three months out!
Most single-classroom groups of 20 to 30 students plus chaperones fit comfortably on a 15- to 35-passenger minibus for in-city trips to venues like the C.M. Russell Museum or the Children's Museum of Montana. For longer runs to Glacier, Helena, or Billings — or when multiple classes are traveling together — a full 56-passenger motorcoach with an onboard restroom and luggage bays is the better call. Compare both options side by side using the quote tool!
Most Great Falls venues have wide surface lots that accommodate buses without a special permit. Giant Springs State Park and the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail Interpretive Center both have large lots on Giant Springs Road with room for motorcoaches — Montana State Parks vehicle entry fees apply. The C.M. Russell Museum's surface lot off 13th Street N also accommodates buses.
Advance coordination with the venue is always a smart step for school groups, and the Interpretive Center recommends reservations for group visits.
Yes! ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network of transportation companies serving Great Falls. Just mention your accessibility needs — wheelchair lift, wider aisles, or other requirements — when you fill out the quote form or when you call 406-965-1380.
The team will match your group with a vehicle that works for every student on the trip.
For in-city Great Falls field trips, two to four weeks of lead time is generally workable. For longer trips — especially Glacier National Park runs in late May and June, or Helena trips timed around spring civic education units — booking two to three months out gives you the best vehicle selection and pricing. Great Falls is a smaller market, so the right bus can book up faster than you'd expect on peak school-year dates.
Book early and check that date off your planning list!
