A Group Travel Guide to Spartanburg, South Carolina's Best Destinations

Hatcher Garden and Woodland Preserve

For a peaceful escape into nature, Hatcher Garden and Woodland Preserve is a must-visit destination for groups of all ages. This 10-acre public garden features a series of ponds, walking trails, and a diverse collection of trees, shrubs, and flowers that bloom year-round. It is the perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon stroll, a picnic lunch, or a nature photography outing. The garden is also a popular venue for weddings and private events.

Parking at Hatcher Garden can be limited, especially during peak bloom seasons or special events. By renting a minibus or charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Spartanburg, you can avoid the stress of finding multiple parking spots. Your driver can drop your group off right at the main entrance at 832 John B White Sr Blvd, Spartanburg, SC 29306, and return to pick you up when you are ready to leave. This ensures that everyone arrives together and has plenty of time to enjoy the beauty of the gardens.

Chapman Cultural Center

The Chapman Cultural Center is the heartbeat of Spartanburg’s arts and science community. This impressive campus is home to the Spartanburg Art Museum, the Spartanburg Regional History Museum, the Spartanburg Science Center, and the Spartanburg Little Theatre. Whether you are planning an educational field trip for students or a cultural outing for a senior group, there is something here for everyone to enjoy. Groups can explore local history, view contemporary art exhibitions, or catch a live performance in the theater.

Coordinating tickets and arrival times for a large group can be challenging, but transportation shouldn't be. With a charter bus rental, you can keep your group organized and on schedule. We can arrange a drop-off at the main entrance at 200 E St John St, Spartanburg, SC 29306, allowing your group to head straight to their exhibits of choice without delays. After a day of learning and exploration, your comfortable bus will be waiting to take you to your next destination or back home.

Croft State Park

Once a WWII army training camp, Croft State Park is now a sprawling 7,000-acre park offering endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. It is a fantastic destination for scout troops, church groups, and active families. The park features two lakes for fishing and boating, over 20 miles of biking and hiking trails, and equestrian facilities. It’s the perfect place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city and reconnect with nature.

Traveling to a state park with a large group often involves hauling a lot of gear—coolers, hiking boots, fishing rods, and picnic supplies. A 56-passenger charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Spartanburg offers ample undercarriage storage, so you don’t have to cram everything into the back of a sedan. Your group can stretch out in the air-conditioned cabin after a long day of hiking at 450 Croft State Park Rd, Spartanburg, SC 29302, making the ride home just as enjoyable as the adventure itself.

RJ Rockers Brewing Company

If you are planning a bachelor party, a corporate happy hour, or just a fun night out with friends, RJ Rockers Brewing Company is a staple of downtown Spartanburg nightlife. Known for its "Son of a Peach" wheat ale, this solar-powered microbrewery offers tours, a taproom with live music, and a restaurant serving delicious pub fare. It is a great place to experience the local flavor and unwind after a busy week.

The best way to enjoy a brewery tour is with a built-in designated driver. When you book a party bus or minibus with Charter Bus Rental Company Spartanburg, no one has to worry about driving home safely.

BMW Zentrum and Plant Spartanburg

Located just a short drive from Spartanburg in nearby Greer, the BMW Zentrum is the only BMW museum in North America. It is a fascinating destination for car enthusiasts, engineering students, and corporate groups. The museum showcases the history of the brand, from its early aviation engines to the latest electric vehicles. Visitors can also take a guided tour of the manufacturing plant to see how the X-series vehicles are made.

Tours of the plant often require advance reservations and strict adherence to arrival times. A charter bus rental ensures that your group arrives promptly for your scheduled tour slot at 1400 Hwy 101, Greer, SC 29651. On the way there, your group can watch documentaries about automotive history on the bus’s flat-screen TVs or use the onboard WiFi to research the exhibits. It’s an educational and efficient way to travel.

Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium

Known as the "Showplace of the South," the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium is the city’s premier venue for large-scale entertainment. From Broadway tours and concerts to comedy shows and wrestling events, the auditorium hosts a wide variety of performances throughout the year. It holds a significant place in the city's history and continues to bring world-class entertainment to the Upstate.

Traffic around the auditorium can get heavy before a big show, and parking lots fill up fast. Skip the stress of navigating event traffic by booking a charter bus for your group. We can drop you off right near the entrance at 385 N Church St, Spartanburg, SC 29303, so you don't have to walk long distances in your evening wear. After the encore, avoid the post-show gridlock in the parking garage—your driver will be ready to pick you up and whisk you away to a late-night dinner or back home.
