A Group Travel Guide to Greeley, Colorado's Best Destinations

Located in the high plains of Northern Colorado, Greeley is a city rich in history, agriculture, and community spirit. While it may be known for its agricultural roots, Greeley has blossomed into a hub for arts, culture, and major annual events that draw crowds from across the state and beyond. Navigating this growing city with a large group, however, can present logistical challenges. From the bustling streets during the Stampede to the University district, coordinating a caravan of cars is often more trouble than it’s worth.

That is where Charter Bus Rental Company Greeley steps in. As the leading provider of group transportation in Weld County, we specialize in streamlining your travel plans. Whether you are a local organization or visiting from out of state, our fleet—ranging from 18-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches—is at your service. Forget about navigating Highway 34 traffic or finding parking for twenty vehicles. With a private bus rental, your group travels together, arrives on time, and enjoys premium amenities like reclining seats, climate control, and onboard WiFi.

Ready to explore what Northern Colorado has to offer? Here is our guide to the top destinations in Greeley and how a charter bus rental makes your visit seamless.

A few of the companies we’ve worked with

The Greeley Stampede

If there is one event that defines this city, it is the Greeley Stampede. Dating back to the late 1800s, this summer festival is a massive celebration of Western heritage, featuring PRCA rodeos, demolition derbies, and concerts with top-tier country and rock artists. The event takes place at Island Grove Regional Park and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every summer. Naturally, with crowds this size, parking is scarce, and traffic congestion can be heavy leading into the fairgrounds.

Don't let parking frustrations dampen your group's cowboy spirit. When you book a charter bus rental for the Greeley Stampede, your driver can drop your group off near the entrance gates so you can head straight for the carnival rides or the arena. While you enjoy the festivities, your driver will handle the parking logistics. Our full-size charter buses also come equipped with spacious undercarriage storage bays, perfect for stowing coolers, folding chairs, and cowboy hats until you are ready to use them. Whether you are a large family reunion, a corporate group, or a dedicated fan club, arriving by bus ensures you start the party the moment you hit the road.

Colorado Model Railroad Museum

For a unique experience that appeals to all ages, the Colorado Model Railroad Museum is a hidden gem in Greeley. This 5,500-square-foot facility features one of the finest model railroad layouts in the country, with intricate scenery, hundreds of locomotives, and miles of track. It is a fantastic destination for school field trips, senior citizen communities, and hobbyist clubs. However, coordinating a large group visit requires precision, especially regarding arrival times for guided tours.

Charter Bus Rental Company Greeley makes field trip transportation to the museum effortless. Skip the traditional yellow school bus and upgrade to a modern charter bus with air conditioning and plush seating. Your students or group members can watch railroad documentaries on the onboard TV monitors while en route. Your driver will drop you off right at the curb on 10th Street, ensuring comfortable and easy access to the facility. We work with your itinerary to ensure you arrive exactly when your tour is scheduled to begin.

Centennial Village Museum

Step back in time at Centennial Village Museum, an 8-acre living history experience that preserves the architectural and cultural heritage of the Colorado High Plains. The museum features over 35 historical buildings, costumed interpreters, and heritage farm animals. It is a sprawling venue that requires plenty of walking, so having a comfortable place to rest before and after your visit is essential. This is a prime spot for educational tours and historical societies.

When you rent a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Greeley, you provide your group with a climate-controlled haven. After a long day of walking through history in the summer heat, your group will be relieved to board a cool bus with reclining seats. If you are planning a picnic lunch at the museum grounds, our buses offer ample overhead storage for packed lunches and backpacks. Let us handle the driving while you immerse yourself in the history of the West.

University of Northern Colorado (UNC)

The University of Northern Colorado is a cornerstone of the Greeley community. Whether you are a high school counselor arranging a campus tour for prospective students, a visiting athletic team playing at Nottingham Field, or an academic department hosting a conference, reliable transportation is key. The campus is large, and parking for multiple vehicles can be difficult to coordinate, especially during the semester.

Charter Bus Rental Company Greeley offers specialized campus shuttle services and sports team transportation. For prospective students, our minibuses can navigate the campus roads easily, dropping groups off at the Visitor’s Center or near housing facilities for tours. For sports teams, our 56-passenger motorcoaches provide the legroom athletes need to stretch out, along with massive storage bays for equipment bags, uniforms, and training gear. We can even arrange shuttle services between local hotels and the Bank of Colorado Arena for tournaments and special events.

Union Colony Civic Center

As Northern Colorado’s premier performing arts venue, the Union Colony Civic Center hosts Broadway musicals, comedy acts, symphony performances, and art exhibitions. It is a favorite destination for church groups, senior centers, and arts appreciation clubs. Attending a show here is a special occasion, and your transportation should reflect that.

Elevate your evening at the theater by booking a minibus or charter bus. Forget about circling downtown Greeley looking for parking spots or walking long distances in formal wear. Your driver will provide door-to-door service, dropping your group off right at the main entrance. After the curtain call, your bus will be waiting to whisk you away to a late dinner or back home. With onboard amenities like WiFi and power outlets, you can share photos of your night out instantly. Make the journey as memorable as the performance with Charter Bus Rental Company Greeley.

WeldWerks Brewing Co.

Greeley has made a significant mark on the national craft beer map, largely thanks to WeldWerks Brewing Co. Known for their innovative IPAs and stouts, this brewery is a must-visit for bachelor parties, corporate outings, and groups of friends celebrating special occasions. However, enjoying the local craft beer scene responsibly is paramount.

Book a private shuttle with Charter Bus Rental Company Greeley and secure a built-in designated driver for your entire group. You can plan a brewery crawl starting at WeldWerks and moving to other local favorites like Wiley Roots Brewing Company or Crabtree Brewing. Our buses serve as your comfortable, reliable, and fun transportation hub. Play your own music over the AUX/Bluetooth sound system and enjoy the ride between taprooms without worrying about rideshare surge pricing or splitting the group into different cars.

The Poudre River Trail

For outdoor enthusiasts, the Poudre River Trail offers 21 miles of paved pathway winding along the Cache la Poudre River. It’s perfect for cycling clubs, hiking groups, or corporate wellness retreats looking for fresh air. One of the challenges of linear trails, however, is logistics—how do you get back to your car if you hike 10 miles down the river?

Charter Bus Rental Company Greeley offers point-to-point transportation solutions. We can drop your group off at the Island Grove trailhead and pick you up miles down the trail at the Kodak Watchable Wildlife Area or Frank State Wildlife Area. Our buses have plenty of storage space for hiking gear, picnic supplies, and extra water. Enjoy the beauty of Northern Colorado's outdoors without the logistical headache of spotting cars at different trailheads.

Greeley Family FunPlex

If you are organizing a trip for a youth group, summer camp, or a large family reunion, the Greeley Family FunPlex is a top-tier destination. This recreational facility features an indoor water park, mini-golf, gymnasium, and more. It is a high-energy destination that kids love, but keeping a large group of children organized during transport can be stressful.

Keep your group together and comfortable with a charter bus rental. These drivers prioritize comfort above all else. Instead of a convoy of parents trying to follow each other in traffic, everyone rides together. You can utilize the onboard PA system to make announcements and conduct headcounts before you arrive. Plus, after hours of swimming and playing, the kids can rest in air-conditioned comfort on the ride home, making life much easier for chaperones and parents.
