A few of the companies we’ve worked with
John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site
Step back in history with a group visit to the birthplace of the 35th U.S. President. The John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site (83 Beals St, Brookline, MA 02446) is a must-visit destination for history buffs, school field trips, and political enthusiasts. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, the house was restored by Rose Kennedy to its 1917 appearance, offering an intimate look at the president’s early childhood. For groups, the primary challenge is the location; Beals Street is extremely narrow and parking for oversized vehicles is non-existent.
When you book a school trip bus rental or a private tour with Charter Bus Brookline, we make the logistics seamless. Your driver can drop your group off right at the corner of Beals Street and Harvard Street, allowing everyone to walk a short half-block to the entrance while the bus stages in a designated area. Students and chaperones will appreciate the climate-controlled ride and onboard amenities like Wi-Fi to research JFK’s legacy en route. Whether you're bringing a 5th-grade class from the Public Schools of Brookline or a group of out-of-town visitors, we ensure you arrive on time for your scheduled ranger tour without the stress of navigating residential gridlock.
Larz Anderson Park & Auto Museum
Spanning 64 beautiful acres, Larz Anderson Park is the "jewel" of Brookline’s park system and home to the Larz Anderson Auto Museum (15 Newton St, Brookline, MA 02445). The museum houses the oldest motorcar collection in the United States, housed within the breathtaking historic carriage house of the former Anderson estate. The park itself is a top destination for large-scale events, including corporate picnics, family reunions, and outdoor community festivals. With its rolling hills, scenic pond, and views of the Boston skyline, it’s also one of the most popular spots for wedding photos in the region.
Managing transportation to Larz Anderson Park for a large crowd can be tricky, as the winding park roads and limited parking lots fill up quickly during weekend car shows and summer picnics. Charter Bus Brookline provides the perfect solution with our fleet of minibuses and full-size motorcoaches. We can set up a continuous shuttle loop between Brookline Village hotels and the park entrance, or provide point-to-point service for your corporate team-building event. With undercarriage storage for picnic gear, coolers, and event supplies, plus plush seating to relax in after a day of exploring the museum and grounds, our buses turn a logistical headache into a premium travel experience for every passenger.
Coolidge Corner Theatre
For groups looking for a touch of culture and art-deco charm, the Coolidge Corner Theatre (290 Harvard St, Brookline, MA 02446) is one of the nation’s most prominent independently operated movie theaters. Since 1933, "The Coolidge" has been a hub for international film, independent cinema, and community events. Whether you’re organizing a private screening for a corporate outing, bringing a university film club to a festival, or taking a group to one of their famous "Science on Screen" events, this venue provides an unforgettable atmosphere.
Coolidge Corner is the busiest commercial intersection in Brookline, and finding parking for even a single car is a victory—finding space for a group of 20 or 50 is nearly impossible. Charter Bus Brookline specializes in navigating high-traffic urban areas like the intersection of Harvard and Beacon Streets. Your driver will coordinate a comfortable curbside drop-off near the theater entrance, allowing your group to walk right into the lobby while we handle the parking logistics off-site. Enjoy the film and the vibrant neighborhood dining scene knowing your climate-controlled ride will be waiting exactly when you’re ready to head home. With 24/7 support and 15+ years of experience, we’re the experts at making Coolidge Corner accessible for groups of any size!
The Country Club
As the oldest country club in the United States and one of the founding members of the USGA, The Country Club (191 Clyde St, Brookline, MA 02467) is a venue of unparalleled prestige. Known globally for hosting legendary U.S. Open championships and the Ryder Cup, it is a premier location for elite corporate golf outings, high-end weddings, and black-tie galas. When you are moving VIP clients, executives, or wedding guests to a venue of this caliber, the transportation needs to match the occasion.
Charter Bus Brookline offers a sophisticated fleet of executive sprinter vans and premium motorcoaches equipped with leather seating, wood-grain flooring, and tinted windows to provide the discretion and luxury your guests expect. Navigating Clyde Street during a major event is a task for the pros, as the narrow, winding roads are often subject to strict traffic control. Our reservation specialists will work directly with your event planner or the club’s logistics team to ensure a flawless arrival and departure schedule. Whether you need a corporate shuttle for a weekend retreat or a fleet of all-white minibuses for a high-profile wedding, we provide the reliable, professional service that has made us Brookline’s most trusted charter bus company since 2011.
Brookline Reservoir Park
For nature lovers and fitness groups, Brookline Reservoir Park (100-140 Boylston St, Brookline, MA 02445) offers a serene escape and a popular one-mile jogging track encircling the historic reservoir. The park is a favorite for local walking clubs, school cross-country teams, and community environmental groups. The historic Gatehouse, a National Historic Landmark, provides a stunning backdrop for group photography and educational tours regarding the region’s early water engineering.
Located directly on Boylston Street (Route 9), the reservoir is easily accessible but suffers from the heavy commuter traffic that defines this major artery. Attempting to coordinate a meeting time when everyone is stuck in separate cars on Route 9 is a recipe for delay. By booking a Brookline charter bus rental, your group can travel together and utilize the time to socialize or review your outing’s goals. Our buses feature large panoramic windows, perfect for taking in the views of the water and the surrounding historic estates as you arrive. We’ll handle the drop-off logistics along the Route 9 corridor, ensuring your group starts their walk or run together and on schedule. After your loop, relax in a reclining seat with powerful A/C to cool down before heading to your next stop.
Puppet Showplace Theater
If you're planning a field trip for younger students or a unique outing for a family group, the Puppet Showplace Theater (32 Station St, Brookline, MA 02445) in Brookline Village is an absolute delight. As New England’s premier center for puppetry arts, it hosts award-winning performances that engage and inspire audiences of all ages. Because the theater is located in the heart of Brookline Village, right near the MBTA stop, the area is constantly buzzing with pedestrian and vehicle traffic, making parking a major hurdle for school groups and families.
Charter Bus Brookline has years of experience serving the Public Schools of Brookline as well as private academies across the region. We understand that keeping children comfortable and organized is your top priority. Our modern minibuses are perfect for small-to-midsize student groups, offering a much more comfortable and climate-controlled alternative to an old yellow school bus. Most of our coaches include onboard PA systems, so teachers can easily make announcements or conduct headcounts during the ride. Your driver will navigate the tight streets of Brookline Village and provide a comfortable curbside unloading zone right near the theater doors. With Charter Bus Brookline, your students can focus on the magic of the performance while we handle the village traffic!
Hall's Pond Sanctuary
Hall's Pond Sanctuary (384 Harvard St, Brookline, MA 02446) is one of only two remaining natural ponds in Brookline and serves as a vital urban wildlife oasis. The sanctuary features a formal garden, a boardwalk through the wetlands, and a quiet pond that is a favorite for birdwatchers and local garden clubs. It’s an ideal destination for senior community outings, local environmental organizations, or small school groups studying urban ecology.
The sanctuary is tucked behind the busy Harvard Street corridor near the Amory Woods. While the pond is quiet, the surrounding streets are anything but. Parking in this part of town is strictly regulated and often limited to residents, making it very difficult for out-of-town groups to visit. Charter Bus Brookline makes visiting Hall's Pond easy and stress-free. We can provide a 20-passenger minibus that is nimble enough to maneuver through the busy Harvard Street area while still offering the plush seating and climate control that senior groups and private clubs appreciate. Let us pick you up at your community center or hotel and drop you off directly at the sanctuary gate. You can enjoy the peace of nature knowing your driver will be waiting nearby to pick you up on your schedule.
Larz Anderson Skating Rink
Winter in Brookline means it's time to hit the ice at the Larz Anderson Skating Rink (25 Newton St, Brookline, MA 02445). This outdoor rink offers a classic New England skating experience with stunning views of the surrounding park. It is a top destination for Brookline youth hockey teams, figure skating clubs, and local school winter outings. Whether you're organizing a birthday party on ice or bringing your team for a scheduled practice, moving skaters and their heavy gear is a task that requires a lot of space.
Charter Bus Brookline is the leading provider of sports team transportation in the region. Our full-size charter buses come equipped with massive undercarriage storage bays, providing more than enough room for hockey bags, sticks, skates, and coolers. Instead of parents cramming wet gear into their trunks and driving separately through the snow, the whole team can ride together in a warm, climate-controlled cabin. Athletes can use the onboard Wi-Fi to stream music or review plays on the flat-screen TVs before hitting the ice. We’ve been supporting local athletics since 2011, and we know exactly how to keep your team moving comfortably all season long. From one-time rentals to full-season contracts, we’ve got your gameday transportation covered!
