Take Your Class to the Science Museum of Minnesota or Minnesota History Center in Saint Paul
You'll love how easy it is to get your Blaine students down to Saint Paul for a day of hands-on learning! The Science Museum of Minnesota (120 W Kellogg Blvd, Saint Paul, MN 55102) is one of the most popular K–12 field trip destinations in the state, with STEM exhibits, an Omnitheater, and school group programs that require advance reservations. During the school year, bus drop-off is at the Education entrance on Eagle and Chestnut Streets, switching to the Kellogg Boulevard entrance from June through Labor Day.
Just down the street, the Minnesota History Center (345 W Kellogg Blvd, Saint Paul, MN 55102) offers school group programs with bus drop-off on John Ireland Boulevard; on-site bus parking isn't available, so drivers are directed to nearby designated parking on Martin Luther King Boulevard. From Blaine, both destinations are roughly 30–40 minutes via I-694 and I-35E — and one charter bus keeps your whole class together the entire way!
Get Your Students to the Minnesota Zoo or Como Park Zoo and Conservatory
Through Blainecharterbuscompany.com, getting your Blaine class to either of the Twin Cities' most beloved zoo destinations is simple! The Minnesota Zoo (13000 Zoo Blvd, Apple Valley, MN 55124) is about 45–55 minutes from Blaine via I-35W south — school group field trips must be registered at least two weeks in advance, and bus parking runs $15 per bus. Closer in, Como Park Zoo & Conservatory (1225 Estabrook Dr, Saint Paul, MN 55103) offers free admission with school group reservations, and buses use the designated loading and unloading turnaround within the Minnesota and Circle Gardens near the main entrance.
Compare minibuses and charter buses for either destination in seconds!
Don't Overlook the Minnesota Children's Museum or Minneapolis Institute of Art for Younger Learners
Don't underestimate how much your youngest students get out of a day at Minnesota Children's Museum (10 W 7th St, Saint Paul, MN 55102), which offers hands-on school programs for PreK through grade 5 for field trip groups arriving by bus. For art-focused field trips, Minneapolis Institute of Art (2400 Third Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55404) is free to visit and offers school programs, with bus drop-off at the main circular drive on Third Avenue and free bus parking on 24th Street. Both are roughly 25–35 minutes from Blaine, and a 15- to 35-passenger minibus from the network is the perfect fit for smaller classroom groups heading into the city!
Wherever Your End-of-Year Trip Takes You — Valleyfair, the Arboretum, or Beyond
Wherever Blaine students are celebrating the end of the school year, Blainecharterbuscompany.com has buses ready for the trip!

For a more nature-focused send-off, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum (3675 Arboretum Dr, Chaska, MN 55318) offers school programs in horticulture and outdoor education, with buses checking in at the Arboretum's main gate before parking in designated areas near the Learning Center.

For most field trips, booking 4–6 weeks in advance is a good rule of thumb. However, spring trips — especially May and early June runs to Valleyfair, the Minnesota Zoo, and Como Zoo — fill up fast across the network. If your school's end-of-year trip falls in that window, booking 8–12 weeks out gives you the best selection of vehicles and the most competitive pricing.
The earlier you compare, the better your options!
It depends on your total headcount — students plus chaperones. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus works well for a single classroom group, while a full 56-passenger charter bus is the right call when multiple classes travel together. If your group falls somewhere in between, the quote tool will show you every size in the network that fits.
