A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Lakeside Park
No trip to Fond du Lac is complete without a visit to the city's crown jewel, Lakeside Park. Spanning over 400 acres along the southern edge of Lake Winnebago, this park is a hub of activity year-round and a must-visit for groups of all ages. It is home to the iconic Fond du Lac Lighthouse, which has become a symbol of the city. For groups traveling with children or family reunions, the park offers a vintage carousel, a miniature train, and an expansive playground area. During the summer, the park transforms into the venue for Walleye Weekend, a massive family festival that draws crowds from all over the state. Navigating the parking lots during such peak times can be a nightmare for a convoy of cars, but a charter bus rental makes it seamless. Your driver can drop your group off right near the action at 555 N Park Ave, Fond du Lac, WI 54935, and pick you up when you are ready to leave.
For corporate groups or wedding parties looking for a scenic backdrop, the park’s pavilions and gazebos offer beautiful views of the water. A charter bus provides a climate-controlled haven where your group can cool off after a walk along the harbor or a game of softball on the park’s diamonds. With plenty of storage space on our full-size motorcoaches, you can easily bring along picnic supplies, sports equipment, or folding chairs without cramping your passengers' legroom. Enjoy the beauty of Lake Winnebago without the hassle of traffic on Park Avenue.
The Galloway House and Village
Step back in time and immerse your group in the rich history of the region at The Galloway House and Village. Located at 336 Old Pioneer Rd, Fond du Lac, WI 54935, this mid-19th-century Italianate mansion is the centerpiece of a historic village that includes 25 other restored buildings, such as a one-room schoolhouse, a general store, and a print shop. This destination is perfect for school field trips , senior citizen tour groups, and history buffs who want to see what life was like in Wisconsin during the late 1800s. Organizing a tour here is much easier when everyone arrives at the same time. Instead of waiting for stragglers stuck in traffic on Highway 45, your entire group can disembark together and begin the guided experience promptly.
Charter Bus Rental Company Fond du Lac frequently works with the Fond du Lac County Historical Society to facilitate group visits. Our buses are equipped with PA systems, allowing teachers or tour leaders to give a briefing on the history of the Galloway family or the significance of the village structures while en route to the site. After touring the manicured gardens and exploring the artifacts, your group can board the bus for a comfortable ride to your next destination, perhaps for lunch on Main Street. We take the stress out of educational travel so you can focus on the learning experience.
Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts
For groups interested in culture, music, and the visual arts, the Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts—known locally simply as THELMA—is a premier destination in the heart of downtown. Located at 51 Sheboygan St, Fond du Lac, WI 54935, this venue hosts concerts, film screenings, and art exhibitions that rival those in much larger cities. It is an excellent venue for corporate events , private parties, or simply a night out with friends. If you are planning a group outing to one of their popular summer concerts on the plaza or a private gallery tour, a minibus rental is the perfect transportation solution. Downtown parking can be limited, especially during event nights, but with a private shuttle, your group gets VIP curb-side service.
Booking a charter bus for an evening at THELMA ensures that everyone in your party can enjoy a few drinks or cocktails without worrying about designating a driver. Your bus driver acts as your dedicated chauffeur for the evening, ensuring everyone gets back to their hotel or home safely. Whether you are attending a wedding reception held in their stunning Great Hall or a business seminar in one of their modern meeting spaces, arriving in a luxury motorcoach sets the tone for a sophisticated and hassle-free event. Enjoy the art and architecture, and let us handle the ride.
Children's Museum of Fond du Lac
If you are coordinating a field trip for an elementary school, a daycare, or a youth group, the Children's Museum of Fond du Lac is an engaging and educational stop.

We understand the specific needs of school groups and work with your schedule to ensure timely arrivals and departures, maximizing the time the children have to explore and learn.
Kelley Country Creamery
You cannot visit "America's Dairyland" without sampling some world-class ice cream, and for groups visiting Fond du Lac, Kelley Country Creamery is an absolute must. Located just south of the city at W5219 Co Rd B, Fond du Lac, WI 54937, this family-owned farmstead creamery has been featured on national television and is often cited as having some of the best ice cream in America. The creamery is set on a working dairy farm, offering visitors stunning views of the countryside from the wrap-around porch.

A charter bus rental keeps everyone together and ensures no one misses a turn on the country roads.
A stop at Kelley Country Creamery is the perfect sweet treat to add to a wedding shuttle itinerary, a corporate retreat, or a family reunion. Your group can enjoy their scoops of "Udder Delight" or "Barn Floor" ice cream while relaxing in the spacious, air-conditioned cabin of your bus.

It is a favorite destination for end-of-year school trips, youth sports team celebrations, and birthday parties. Transporting a team of excited athletes or a class of students to the sports park is effortless with Charter Bus Rental Company Fond du Lac. We provide ample storage space for sports bags, personal items, and any picnic supplies you might want to bring along for a day of fun.
Instead of relying on parents to carpool, which can be a logistical headache, rent a full-size charter bus to keep the whole team together. This builds camaraderie and ensures that everyone arrives at the park simultaneously, allowing you to maximize your group rate time or scheduled activities. After a few hours of racing go-karts and hitting softballs, your group will appreciate the comfortable, cool ride back home. The drivers handle the navigation and traffic on County Road D so you can focus on the fun.
The Little Farmer
Located a short drive from Fond du Lac along the east shore of Lake Winnebago, The Little Farmer is a quintessential agri-tourism destination that is perfect for group visits, especially in the autumn.
