More About School Buses
Choose from school bus options offered by a large network of independent transportation providers serving Washington, DC, all in one place. Through Charterbusrentalwashingtondc.com, you'll find two main school bus categories for groups of different sizes. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, ideal for smaller student groups heading to the National Archives (700 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20408) or the Library of Congress (101 Independence Ave SE, Washington, DC 20540).
The National Archives address is 701 Constitution Avenue NW, and buses may stop at the curb for passenger pickup and drop-off only, with no bus parking at the museum. Your group can arrive together, but the bus cannot wait or park at the Archives. Commercial buses are restricted from the U.S. Capitol grounds, and tours are not currently available at Capitol Hill locations, including the Library of Congress.
Keep the bus outside the Capitol grounds while your group visits. Need more room? A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving larger groups plenty of space to travel comfortably together.
The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (10th St & Constitution Ave NW, Washington, DC 20560) has entrances on Madison Drive and Constitution Avenue, with the exit at 10th Street NW and Constitution Avenue NW. There is no Smithsonian public parking on the National Mall, and the museum lists the National Park Service Mall Operations Office at 202-426-6841 for bus-parking information. Your Washington, DC school bus rental keeps students together for the museum visit, with bus parking information available from the office responsible for Mall operations.
