Brighton Asylum

If your group loves a thrill, the Brighton Asylum is a non-negotiable stop. Consistently ranked as one of the top haunted attractions in the country, this destination draws large crowds, especially during the Halloween season. Located in an industrial section of Passaic, parking can be tight and chaotic during peak hours. By renting a charter bus for your group outing, you avoid the stress of finding a spot in overflowing lots. Your driver can drop your group off right at the entrance (2 Brighton Ave, Passaic, NJ 07055) so you can get in line immediately.

Whether you are planning a corporate team-building event to test your nerves or an outing for a large group of friends, a private bus ensures everyone arrives together. Plus, after a night of adrenaline and scares, there is nothing better than collapsing into a plush seat on a warm bus, safe in the knowledge that your designated driver will get everyone home comfortably.

Third Ward Veterans Memorial Park

For a more relaxed group outing, Third Ward Veterans Memorial Park offers a beautiful green space perfect for community gatherings, family reunions, and picnics. Located at Van Houten Ave & Passaic Ave, Passaic, NJ 07055, this park features walking paths, sports fields, and plenty of space to spread out. However, coordinating a large family reunion means managing dozens of cars and hoping everyone finds the location.

Simplify your event by booking a minibus shuttle to transport family members from a central meeting point or local hotels directly to the park. Our buses come with ample undercarriage storage, meaning you can easily transport coolers, folding chairs, outdoor games, and picnic supplies without overcrowding the passenger cabin. Enjoy the day outdoors and let us handle the logistics of getting your group back home when the sun goes down.

Main Avenue Shopping & Dining District ("Little Lima")

Passaic is famous for its vibrant Peruvian culture, often referred to as "Little Lima." A group culinary tour along Main Avenue is an absolute must for foodies. From authentic ceviche to rotisserie chicken at staples like Noches de Colombia (multiple locations nearby), the dining scene here is world-class. However, Main Avenue is a bustling commercial strip where street parking is at a premium and finding spots for multiple vehicles near each other is nearly impossible.

With a private charter bus rental, you can create a custom "hop-on, hop-off" food tour experience. Your driver can drop your group off curbside to explore the shops and restaurants and pick you up at a designated time to move to the next culinary destination. No feeding meters, no circling the block—just delicious food and great company.

St. Michael's Cathedral

For religious groups or those interested in historic architecture, St. Michael the Archangel Cathedral is a stunning landmark. Located at 96 1st St, Passaic, NJ 07055, this Byzantine-style church is a spiritual center for the community. If you are organizing a wedding, a baptism, or a religious retreat, transportation is key to keeping your schedule on track.

Charter Bus Rental Company Passaic offers respectful and reliable wedding shuttle services and religious group transportation. We can shuttle guests from the ceremony at St. Michael's to a reception venue anywhere in Passaic or neighboring towns like Clifton or Little Falls. Ensure your guests, especially elderly family members, travel in comfort with amenities like cushioned seats and climate control, avoiding the hassle of navigating one-way streets around the cathedral.

American Dream Mall

While technically just across the border in East Rutherford, the American Dream Mall is a major draw for anyone staying in Passaic. Located at 1 American Dream Way, East Rutherford, NJ 07073, this massive entertainment complex features a theme park, water park, indoor ski slope, and hundreds of stores. It is the ultimate destination for youth groups, school field trips, and corporate outings.

Driving multiple cars to the American Dream can be expensive due to parking fees and confusing due to the sheer size of the complex. A charter bus rental is the most cost-effective way to get a large group there. We can drop your group off at the dedicated charter bus entrance, saving you long walks from the parking deck. Plus, with the massive under-bus storage available on our 56-passenger motorcoaches, you’ll have plenty of room to store shopping bags, ski gear, or swim bags for the trip home.

MetLife Stadium

Just a short drive down Route 3 from Passaic is MetLife Stadium (1 MetLife Stadium Dr, East Rutherford, NJ 07073), home to the New York Jets and Giants. Game day traffic is legendary for being stressful, and parking prices can be sky-high. If you are rallying a group of fans from Passaic to cheer on the home team, a private party bus or charter bus is the only way to travel.

Turn the commute into a tailgate! Your bus will have plenty of room for grills, coolers, and tents. Your driver will navigate the intense stadium traffic while you and your friends enjoy the pre-game hype with onboard entertainment systems. After the game, you can skip the surge pricing of rideshares and the chaos of the parking lot exodus, as your driver will be waiting to take you back to Passaic comfortably.

Clifton Arts Center & Sculpture Park

Neighboring Passaic is the charming Clifton Arts Center & Sculpture Park, located at 900 Clifton Ave, Clifton, NJ 07013. This is a fantastic destination for school field trips, senior citizen outings, or art lovers. The 26-acre sculpture park offers a serene environment to enjoy art in nature.

When organizing a trip for seniors or students, safety and comfort are paramount. We operate a modern fleet that’s kept in excellent condition. We can provide ADA-accessible buses upon request to ensure every member of your community can enjoy the day out. A private bus keeps the group together, ensuring that no one gets separated or lost on the way to this hidden gem.

Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park

A stone's throw from Passaic, the Paterson Great Falls (72 McBride Ave, Paterson, NJ 07501) offers breathtaking natural beauty and deep industrial history. It is a National Historical Park that is perfect for educational tours. Seeing the 77-foot high waterfall is an awe-inspiring experience for groups.

Navigating the historic, narrow streets of Paterson can be difficult for a caravan of cars. A bus driver knows the area and the designated bus drop-off zones, making the logistics of a field trip or history tour effortless. Teachers and tour guides can use the onboard PA system to give a history lesson on Alexander Hamilton and the industrial revolution while en route, turning travel time into instructional time.
