Charter Buses for Yosemite Field Trips Along Highway 120
That's right — Manteca sits right on Highway 120, the main Central Valley corridor straight to Yosemite National Park, making it one of the most popular long-distance field trip routes for Manteca Unified School District schools. A full-size 56-passenger charter bus with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and undercarriage luggage bays makes the 90- to 100-mile journey comfortable for every student on board. Buses can stage at the El Portal area or use Yosemite Valley's designated motorcoach parking, with the Valley Shuttle connecting your group to major sites.
Yosemite spring field trips book out fast — compare buses and lock in your date early at 209-624-7010!
Yosemite's bus plan is precise: your bus unloads at the Yosemite Falls Day Use Bus Parking area on the west side of the Yosemite Valley Lodge, and then parks in the special bus parking area about a 5-minute walk away; the drop-off zone shares Shuttle Stop #7. The bus stays out of the Valley's car-parking scramble, while the free Valley shuttle handles the internal connections — the National Park Service's Yosemite field-trip bus logistics page carries the exact layout.
School Bus Rentals to the California State Railroad Museum and Sacramento Landmarks
Busrentalmanteca.com makes it easy to find charter buses for the Sacramento field trips Manteca-area middle and high school students take every year! The California State Railroad Museum (125 I St, Sacramento, CA 95814) is one of the most visited museums in the western United States, with bus drop-off in the gated lot behind the museum, entered from I Street, and staging available along the Old Sacramento waterfront. Sutter's Fort State Historic Park (2701 L St, Sacramento, CA 95816) offers living history programs with bus drop-off on L Street, and the California State Capitol Museum (10th St & Capitol Mall, Sacramento, CA 95814) offers free school group tours.
Sacramento is about 60 miles north via Highway 99 or I-5 — compare buses for the whole trip in seconds!
For the school-group handoff, your bus gets students to the School Groups and Events Entrance on the east side along 2nd Street, while the marked bus spaces behind the museum keep the coach out of Old Sacramento's car parking; the official California State Railroad Museum transportation and parking guide maps both points.
Minibuses to Micke Grove Zoo, the Children's Museum of Stockton, and San Joaquin County Destinations

The Children's Museum of Stockton (402 W Weber Ave, Stockton, CA 95203) is another favorite, with bus drop-off right on Weber Avenue.
