Educational Opportunities in the City

Our team places emphasis on comfort, cleanliness, and security. The bus operators and drivers we work with are held not only to local and federal transportation laws but also to our own standards of excellence. We make it our mission to accommodate passengers with special needs. Our expert reservation agents will be happy to assist educators in choosing a bus with enough seats, storage, and amenities for their students’ safety and comfort.

When planning a school field trip, you can look into visiting the Liberty Science Center, a local attraction that makes learning fun. While you might think the science center only appeals to kids and younger visitors, it's also a favorite among adults. The IMAX theater lets you experience movies like you never have before and features both documentaries and major films on its screen. The science center frequently changes its exhibits, which means you'll have a different experience on each visit.

The Empty Sky Memorial honors those who were affected by the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, devastating locals and those living all around the world. It led to the destruction of the World Trade Center, which was an iconic landmark for New Jersey and New York residents. The waterfront 9/11 Memorial is just one you might want to visit. As you stand along the water and look out and across to New York, you'll see just how much that landmark affected the NYC skyline. This memorial provides you with a view across the city to see where those buildings once stood. The NJ 9/11 Memorial Foundation operates the 9/11 memorials and other memorials around the city and state.
