Bays Mountain Park & Planetarium
If there is one destination that defines the natural beauty of our region, it is Bays Mountain Park & Planetarium. Spanning over 3,500 acres, this nature preserve is the largest city-owned park in the state of Tennessee and a fantastic destination for school groups, scout troops, and nature lovers. When you rent a charter bus in Kingsport, your driver can drop your group right at the nature center entrance, avoiding the hassle of navigating the winding road up the mountain in separate cars. Inside, your group can explore a state-of-the-art planetarium featuring stunning star shows that educate and entertain visitors of all ages.
The park is also home to a variety of animal habitats, including wolves, bobcats, and raptors, offering an up-close look at the wildlife native to the Appalachians. For more active groups, there are miles of hiking and mountain biking trails around the reservoir, as well as a barge ride that takes you out onto the water for a guided tour of the ecosystem. A charter bus rental provides ample storage for hiking gear, picnic coolers, and educational materials, ensuring your day on the mountain is organized and stress-free. After a day of exploration, everyone can relax in air-conditioned comfort on the ride back down.

Warriors' Path State Park
For groups looking for a comprehensive outdoor experience, Warriors' Path State Park is a must-visit. Located on the shores of the Patrick Henry Reservoir on the Holston River, this park is a haven for boating, fishing, hiking, and golfing.

The Kingsport Carousel & Pal's Roundhouse
For a dose of nostalgia and community spirit, you have to bring your group to the Kingsport Carousel. Located inside Pal's Roundhouse near downtown, this isn't just any merry-go-round; it is a labor of love created by hundreds of local volunteers who hand-carved and painted the animals. It is a perfect stop for senior citizen tour groups, elementary school field trips , or anyone who appreciates folk art. Your charter bus driver can drop your group off curbside at Clinchfield Street, allowing easy access for passengers with limited mobility.
The carousel features 32 platform animals and two chariots, all showcasing the history and culture of Kingsport. After taking a spin, your group can explore the surrounding downtown area or grab a bite to eat. Speaking of food, you can't visit the Roundhouse without acknowledging the local culinary icon, Pal's Sudden Service. While a charter bus can't go through a drive-thru, your group can easily walk to nearby dining options or arrange for catering at a nearby park. Visiting the carousel is a quick, delightful stop that fits perfectly into a broader tour of the city, and having a private bus waiting for you makes the transition to your next stop seamless.

Exchange Place
Step back in time to the 1850s with a group visit to the Exchange Place, a living history farm that offers a glimpse into 19th-century life in Northeast Tennessee. This is an exceptional destination for educational tours and history buffs. The site served as a stopover for stagecoaches and a place where currency was exchanged, hence the name. Today, it features restored log buildings, heritage livestock, and gardens that are maintained just as they would have been over 150 years ago.
Charter Bus Rental Company Kingsport frequently transports school groups and historical societies to the Exchange Place for their popular Fall Folk Arts Festival and Spring Garden Fair.

The educational value combined with the beautiful, rustic setting makes this a top-tier destination for organized groups in Kingsport.

It is the ideal destination for summer camps, youth groups, and sports teams looking for a fun way to cool off or compete. Coordinating a trip to a water park with dozens of kids can be a headache if you rely on carpools, but a Kingsport charter bus rental keeps everyone together and accounted for.
When you rent a bus for a swim trip, you get plenty of storage for towels, swim gear, and coolers filled with snacks. After a long day of swimming and sliding, the last thing parents or chaperones want to do is drive home.
