A Group Travel Guide to Ontario, California's Best Destinations

Located in the heart of the Inland Empire, Ontario, California, is a bustling hub of commerce, entertainment, and history. While it serves as a major gateway to Southern California via the Ontario International Airport (ONT), the city itself is packed with destinations perfect for large groups. However, navigating the I-10 and I-15 freeways with a caravan of cars can quickly turn a fun outing into a logistical nightmare. That is where Charter Bus Ontario comes in.

Whether you are planning a corporate retreat, a massive family reunion, a school field trip, or a wedding shuttle service, renting a charter bus in Ontario is the most efficient way to travel. With a private motorcoach, your group stays together, enjoys premium amenities like air conditioning and reclining seats, and avoids the stress of parking in crowded lots. Let us guide you through the best attractions in Ontario and how a charter bus rental can elevate your experience.

A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Shop 'Til You Drop at Ontario Mills

If your group loves retail therapy, Ontario Mills is non-negotiable. As California's largest outlet and value retail shopping destination, this indoor climate-controlled mall boasts more than 200 stores, including high-end outlets like Coach, Michael Kors, and Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH. It’s not just about clothes, either; the complex features the AMC 30 Theatres, the Improv Comedy Club, and Dave & Buster's, making it a full-day destination.

Why visit by bus? Ontario Mills attracts over 24 million visitors annually. Finding parking for fifteen separate cars on a Saturday afternoon is a recipe for frustration. With a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Ontario, your driver can drop your group off right at the main entrance or near specific zones like the AMC theater. We offer plenty of undercarriage storage for all your shopping bags, so you don't have to carry them around all day. Your driver will handle the parking logistics while you hunt for bargains.

Catch the Action at Toyota Arena

Formerly known as Citizens Business Bank Arena, the Toyota Arena is the premier entertainment venue in the Inland Empire. It is home to the Ontario Reign (AHL hockey) and the Empire Strykers (MASL soccer), and it regularly hosts major concerts, rodeos, and ice shows. With a capacity of roughly 11,000 people, the energy here is electric, making it a fantastic outing for corporate groups, sports teams, or large families.

Why visit by bus? Event parking fees can add up quickly when everyone drives separately, and the post-event traffic jam exiting the lot can kill the mood. When you book a minibus or full-size charter bus with us, you can coordinate a seamless pick-up and drop-off schedule. Tailgating is also much easier when you have a bus to store your coolers, folding chairs, and banners. Your group can enjoy a few drinks at the game knowing a designated driver is waiting to take everyone home comfortably.

Relax at Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park

For a refreshing outdoor escape, look no further than Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park. This 150-acre recreational area offers two lakes for fishing, a swim complex with water slides, splash pads, and ample picnic areas. It’s an ideal spot for company picnics, church retreats, or end-of-year school celebrations. The park provides a serene backdrop against the hustle and bustle of the city.

Why visit by bus? Transporting picnic supplies, sports equipment, and swimming gear requires space. Our 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with spacious luggage bays perfect for hauling coolers, gazebos, and games. Instead of coordinating a convoy and worrying about who has the entry fees, your group arrives together. The park has specific areas for bus parking, making loading and unloading a breeze. Plus, after a long day in the sun, the air-conditioned cabin of your bus provides a welcome respite for the ride home.

Step Back in Time at Graber Olive House

A hidden gem in Ontario, the Graber Olive House has been operating since 1894. It is the oldest operating business in Ontario and offers a fascinating glimpse into the region's agricultural history. Visitors can tour the cannery, see how olives are graded and cured, and visit the charming gift shop. It’s a quiet, educational, and delicious stop that is perfect for senior tour groups or history classes.

Why visit by bus? The Graber Olive House is located in a residential-adjacent area where parking can be tight for multiple vehicles. A minibus rental is perfect for navigating these tighter streets. Your driver can drop your group at the front gate for your tour and wait nearby. It’s a wonderful addition to a multi-stop itinerary around the city, and our reservation specialists can help you plan the perfect route.

Convene at the Ontario Convention Center

If you are in town for business, you will likely find yourself at the Ontario Convention Center. This architectural marvel features over 225,000 square feet of flexible exhibit and meeting space. It hosts everything from the Comic Con Revolution to major automotive trade shows and international business conferences. It’s located just minutes from the airport, making it a central hub for business travelers.

Why visit by bus? Corporate travel demands punctuality. Relying on rideshare apps during a major convention can result in surge pricing and long wait times. Charter Bus Ontario specializes in corporate shuttle services. We can set up a recurring shuttle loop between the Convention Center, local hotels, and the Ontario International Airport. Your team can prep for presentations using onboard WiFi and power outlets, arriving fresh and ready to network.

The museum houses over 150 aircraft, many of which are flyable, including rare warbirds from WWII. It’s an awe-inspiring destination for STEM field trips, veteran groups, and aviation enthusiasts.

Why visit by bus? Keeping a class of students or a large tour group organized in a museum setting starts with the journey there. A charter bus allows teachers and tour guides to brief the group on the museum's history using the onboard PA system before arrival. We can accommodate groups of any size, ensuring that no one gets lost in transit. The museum offers bus parking, and your driver will be ready to depart exactly when your tour concludes.

Thrills at Scandia Amusement Park

For a day of pure fun, Scandia Amusement Park fits the bill. With its Scandinavian-themed architecture, the park features the "Scandia Screamer" roller coaster, bumper boats, batting cages, and two award-winning miniature golf courses. It is a favorite for youth groups, birthday parties, and graduation celebrations looking for high-energy entertainment.

Why visit by bus? Coordinating a drop-off for thirty excited teenagers can be chaotic with personal vehicles. A charter bus rental simplifies the process entirely. We can pick up your group from a school, church, or community center and drive straight to the fun. Parents can rest easy knowing the transportation is handled by a driver. Plus, the bus provides a secure place to store birthday gifts or extra changes of clothes while the group enjoys the rides.

Founded in 1917, this historic winery offers tours, tastings, and a fantastic dining experience. It is a prime spot for bachelorette parties, anniversary celebrations, and corporate dinners.

Why visit by bus? The most responsible way to enjoy a wine tour is with a designated driver. When you rent a charter bus or minibus for your winery outing, safety is built right in. Your entire group can sample the Heritage Blends and Riboli Family Wines without worrying about who has to drive home. Our buses feature comfortable, plush seating, making the ride to and from the winery as relaxing as the tasting itself.
