More About School Buses
For a school bus rental in Knoxville, no matter the size of your group or the nature of your trip, the network includes school bus options that fit. A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, making it the go-to choice for full class field trips, large youth groups, and community organizations traveling together across Knoxville. Smaller groups traveling to venues like Ijams Nature Center (2915 Island Home Ave, Knoxville, TN 37920) or the Knoxville Zoo (3500 Knoxville Zoo Dr, Knoxville, TN 37914) are better suited to a Type A mini or Type B small school bus, which seats approximately 10 to 24 adults comfortably.
School groups arrive at the Zoo Knoxville Front Gate, unload through side gates, and park buses at Chilhowee Pond. Buses cannot wait in the roundabout, so your group can gather in the main entry plaza before the bus returns to collect everyone. Compare your options through bus types available in the network and choose the one that works for YOUR trip!
