A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo
No trip to Pueblo is complete without visiting the absolute jewel of the city: the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo (HARP). This 32-acre urban waterfront experience was created to return the river to its original channel, resulting in a beautiful, walkable, and boatable destination right in the heart of downtown. For groups, this is the perfect starting point to get a feel for the city. You can charter a private excursion boat to take your group down the channel while learning about the catastrophic flood of 1921 and how the city rebuilt itself. The area is lined with local sculptures, lush landscaping, and plenty of benches for resting. It is also the epicenter of the famous Chile & Frijoles Festival held every September.
Logistically, visiting the Riverwalk with a large group is much easier with a charter bus rental. Parking in downtown Pueblo can be scattered, and finding ten spots for individual cars near the main entrance is a hassle you don't need. Your Charter Bus Pueblo driver can drop your group off right near the Gateway Plaza, allowing you to step off the bus and immediately start exploring. After your boat ride or stroll, your group can enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants along the channel, such as Angelo’s Pizza Parlor or Brues Alehouse. When you are full and ready to move to the next stop, your bus will be waiting curbside, cooled down and ready to go.

Pueblo Zoo
If you are traveling with a school group, a youth organization, or a family reunion with lots of little ones, the Pueblo Zoo is a must-visit destination. Located within the expansive City Park, this zoo manages to feel intimate while hosting an impressive array of wildlife. It covers 25 acres and is home to more than 420 animals representing 140 species. Groups love the Serengeti Safari exhibit, where you can see lions and African painted dogs, as well as the Islands of Life exhibit featuring penguins and otters. It is an educational and engaging experience that allows groups to wander at their own pace without the overwhelming crowds found at massive metropolitan zoos.
Transportation to City Park is seamless with a charter bus. While there is parking available, coordinating arrival times for a large group can be tricky. By renting a bus from Charter Bus Pueblo, you ensure that everyone arrives at the gate simultaneously, making ticket distribution and headcounts a breeze for chaperones. Furthermore, if you are planning a picnic lunch in the surrounding City Park, you can store your coolers, lunches, and extra gear in the undercarriage luggage bays of the bus. This keeps the aisles clear and ensures your food stays secure while you are exploring the animal exhibits. After a long day of walking, everyone will appreciate sinking into a plush, reclining seat for the ride back to the hotel.

Lake Pueblo State Park
For groups who want to experience the rugged beauty of Colorado’s high desert, Lake Pueblo State Park offers an outdoor oasis just west of the city limits. Known as a hot spot for fishing, boating, and swimming, the park features 60 miles of shoreline and 4,600 surface acres of water. It is an incredibly popular destination for summer camps, corporate retreats looking for team-building activities, and large family gatherings. The views of the Greenhorn and Wet mountain ranges provide a stunning backdrop for a day of recreation. Whether you are planning a barbecue at the picnic pavilions or a hike along the nature trails, Lake Pueblo is the place to be on a sunny day.
However, getting a large group into a state park can be logistically challenging if you are driving separate vehicles, as each car requires a parks pass and finding adjacent parking spots at the marina or picnic areas can be difficult during peak summer months. A charter bus rental simplifies this entirely. We can drop your group off right at the South or North Shore Marinas or your reserved pavilion. Plus, the storage capacity of a 56-passenger motorcoach is unbeatable for outdoor trips. You can easily stow hiking gear, swimming supplies, folding chairs, and sports equipment in the bus’s massive storage bays. When the sun sets and everyone is tired from a day on the water, the air-conditioned ride home is a luxury everyone will be thankful for.

Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum
Aviation enthusiasts, history buffs, and educational tour groups will find the Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum to be a fascinating stop. Located near the Pueblo Memorial Airport, this museum is dedicated to preserving the history of the Pueblo Army Air Base and military aviation in general. The museum boasts a massive collection of vintage military aircraft, ranging from WWII bombers to modern jets. The standout attraction is the outdoor hangar and static display area where visitors can get up close to giants like the B-29 Superfortress. It is a fantastic destination for STEM field trips or veteran groups looking to reconnect with history.
Because the museum is located a bit further out from the city center near the airport, having dedicated transportation is key. Navigating the roads around the airport industrial park is much easier when a driver is handling the GPS. Charter Bus Pueblo frequently transports groups to this location, and we know exactly where to drop off your group for easy access to the main hangar. If you are visiting during the hotter months, keep in mind that many exhibits are outdoors or in hangars that can get warm; knowing you have a cool, comfortable bus waiting for you makes the experience much more enjoyable. We can also arrange a shuttle schedule if your group wants to split time between the museum and other nearby industrial tours.

El Pueblo History Museum
To truly understand the roots of this city, your group needs to visit the El Pueblo History Museum. Operated by History Colorado, this museum showcases the region's history as a crossroads of cultures, ethnicities, and traditions. It features the re-created 1840s adobe trading post and plaza, which allows visitors to step back in time and see what life was like during the fur trading era. The museum also offers fascinating exhibits on the borderlands history of Southern Colorado. It is an essential stop for school groups studying Colorado history or cultural groups interested in the diverse heritage of the region.
Located right in the heart of downtown, near the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk, the El Pueblo History Museum is easily accessible by charter bus. While downtown parking is often metered or time-limited, your charter bus driver can drop you off at the main entrance on Union Avenue and then park off-site until you are ready to be picked up. This allows you to combine a visit to the museum with a walking tour of the nearby Union Avenue Historic District without worrying about moving cars or feeding meters. The museum is group-friendly and often offers guided tours, so be sure to call ahead to reserve your spot, and let Charter Bus Pueblo handle the ride.

Sangre de Cristo Arts & Conference Center
For a dose of high culture, the Sangre de Cristo Arts & Conference Center is the premier artistic hub of Southern Colorado. This multi-disciplinary center includes art galleries featuring Western and contemporary art, a theater for performing arts, and the Jackson Sculpture Garden. Perhaps most importantly for groups traveling with children, it is home to the Buell Children's Museum, which has been ranked as one of the best children's museums in the nation. With interactive, hands-on exhibits focusing on the arts, science, and history, it keeps younger travelers engaged for hours.
Whether you are attending a performance, touring the galleries, or letting the kids run wild in the Buell museum, a bus rental from Charter Bus Pueblo is the smartest way to get there. We can accommodate large school field trips with multiple buses or provide a sleek minibus for a corporate group attending a conference at the center. The facility is centrally located, making it easy to pair with other downtown attractions. Your driver can coordinate with your group leader to ensure prompt pickup after a show or a tour, ensuring no one is left waiting on the sidewalk.
Address: 210 N Santa Fe Ave, Pueblo, CO 81003
Rosemount Museum
Step into the Gilded Age with a group tour of the Rosemount Museum. Often called "Colorado's Crown Jewel," this 37-room mansion was built in 1893 for John A. Thatcher and remains nearly unchanged today, complete with original furnishings, woodwork, and decor. It is a stunning example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture and provides a vivid window into the lives of Pueblo's wealthy elite during the turn of the century. This destination is particularly popular for senior tour groups, architectural societies, and history clubs.
The Rosemount is located in a residential neighborhood, which means parking for multiple vehicles can be tight and disruptive to local residents. A charter bus is the respectful and efficient solution. Your Charter Bus Pueblo driver can pull up to the designated group entrance, allow your passengers to disembark safely, and then park in a suitable location away from the neighborhood streets. Group tours must be booked in advance, and arriving together on a single bus ensures you stay on schedule for your guided walkthrough. After immersing yourselves in Victorian opulence, you can return to the modern comfort of your bus for the next leg of your journey.

Neon Alley
For something truly unique to Pueblo, take your group to Neon Alley. Located in the Union Avenue Historic District, this quirky attraction is a collection of vintage neon signs assembled by a local collector. It essentially turns the alleyway into an open-air art gallery that glows vibrantly after dark. It is a fantastic spot for photography enthusiasts, nostalgia lovers, or groups looking for a fun, low-key activity after dinner. It adds a splash of color and retro charm to any itinerary.
Because Neon Alley is best experienced at night, having safe, reliable transportation is even more important. After a dinner at a nearby restaurant, your Charter Bus Pueblo driver can drop your group off at the entrance to the alley. You can take your time admiring the glowing signs without worrying about navigating dark streets or finding your cars late at night. Once you have snapped your photos and soaked in the atmosphere, your bus will be right there to take you back to your hotel safely. It is the perfect capstone to a day of sightseeing in Pueblo.

How far in advance should I book my bus?
We recommend booking your charter bus as early as possible to ensure availability and the best rates. Ideally, you should aim to book 3 to 6 months in advance. If you are traveling during peak seasons (like spring break, summer, or during the Chile & Frijoles Festival in September), you should try to book 6 to 9 months ahead. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests, so do not hesitate to call us!
What amenities are included on the bus?
Our fleet offers a variety of amenities to make your trip comfortable. Most full-size charter buses come equipped with reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, and plenty of luggage storage. Modern amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and DVD players with TV screens are also widely available. If your group has specific requirements, such as ADA accessibility, please let our reservation specialist know when you book so we can match you with the perfect vehicle.
Do I need to pay for the driver's hotel room?
If your trip involves an overnight stay where the group is sleeping at a hotel, you are responsible for providing a private hotel room for your driver. This ensures the driver is well-rested and complies with Department of Transportation safety regulations regarding hours of service. You do not need to cover their food, but a comfortable room is a requirement for multi-day trips.
