A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum
As one of Simi Valley's most iconic and visited attractions, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum (40 Presidential Dr, Simi Valley, CA 93065) is a must-see for groups of all interests. Perched on a hill with breathtaking views of the valley, this facility offers more than just history; it provides an immersive experience into the life and legacy of the 40th President of the United States. One of the highlights for group tours is the Air Force One Pavilion, where you can actually step aboard the Boeing 707 that served seven U.S. Presidents. It is a stunning sight that never fails to impress students, veterans, and history buffs alike.
When you book a charter bus to the Reagan Library with Charter Bus Simi Valley, your logistics are simplified from the start. The library features dedicated bus loading and unloading zones near the main entrance, and there is ample free parking for oversized vehicles in the lower lots. Your driver will drop your group off curbside, allowing you to bypass the hike from the parking areas. Inside, your group can explore a full-scale replica of the Oval Office, view a piece of the original Berlin Wall, and visit the final resting place of President and Mrs. Reagan. We recommend scheduling at least three to four hours for a thorough visit, especially if you plan to enjoy lunch at the on-site Reagan’s Country Cafe or The Air Force One Pavilion Cafe.
Strathearn Historical Park & Museum
To truly understand the roots of our community, a visit to the Strathearn Historical Park & Museum (137 Strathearn Pl, Simi Valley, CA 93065) is essential. This beautiful six-acre park serves as a living history lesson, featuring historic buildings and artifacts that date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a favorite destination for local educators and school field trips, offering a glimpse into the lives of the early pioneers and the Simi Land and Water Company. Groups can tour the Strathearn House, the Simi Adobe-Strathearn House, and even a historic library and wood-frame church that were relocated to the site to preserve Simi Valley’s heritage.
Renting a minibus for a trip to Strathearn Historical Park is a smart way to keep your students or senior group together and on schedule. The park is located near the intersection of Strathearn Place and Madera Road, and while the entrance is tucked away, the drivers know exactly how to navigate the local roads to ensure a smooth arrival. There is a designated area for bus parking, making it easy for your group to unload and begin their guided tour. The park often hosts special events like the Civil War Days and Harvest Festival,which draw large crowds. By choosing Charter Bus Simi Valley, you won’t have to worry about coordinating a carpool or finding multiple parking spots—we handle everything so you can focus on the history!
Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center
For groups looking to enjoy a bit of culture and performing arts, the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center (3050 Los Angeles Ave, Simi Valley, CA 93065) is the premier venue in the city. Housed in a stunning Neo-Gothic building that was originally a church built in the 1920s, the center now hosts a variety of theatrical productions, concerts, and art exhibitions. Whether your group wants to see a Broadway-style musical, an intimate jazz performance, or a local community play, this venue provides an incredible atmosphere with top-tier acoustics. The building itself is a designated historical landmark and is one of the most photographed structures in the area.
Transporting a group to a performance at the Cultural Arts Center is seamless with a private bus rental. Parking in the immediate vicinity can be limited, especially during sold-out evening shows, but a charter bus allows you to avoid the hunt for a spot. Your driver can drop your party off right in front of the venue on Los Angeles Avenue before heading to a nearby designated parking area. This is a popular choice for senior centers and social clubs who want to enjoy a night on the town without the stress of nighttime driving or parking logistics. After the curtain call, your bus will be waiting right outside to whisk your group home or to a local restaurant for a post-show dinner.
Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village
For a destination that is truly unique and off the beaten path, consider taking your group to Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village (4595 Cochran St, Simi Valley, CA 93063). Created by Tressa GrandmaPrisbrey starting in 1956, this extraordinary folk art site is made almost entirely of recycled items, primarily thousands of glass bottles. It is one of California’s most remarkable examples of 20th-century folk art and is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. The village consists of several shrines and structures, including the Leaning Tower of Bottlesand the Dolls Head Shrine.It is a fascinating stop for art students, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates creative recycling.
Because Bottle Village is a sensitive historical site located in a residential neighborhood, visiting with a large group requires careful planning. Tours are available by reservation only, and having a single vehicle like a 20-passenger minibus is much more respectful of the local residents than a line of separate cars. The drivers navigate the residential stretches of Cochran Street to ensure a quiet and efficient drop-off. We can coordinate with the village caretakers to ensure your arrival fits within their tour schedule. This is a perfect addition to a Simi Valley Hidden Gems tour, and our team at Charter Bus Simi Valley is happy to help you build an itinerary that includes this and other local treasures.

The mall’s Mediterranean-inspired architecture and beautiful courtyards make it a pleasant place for a group to stroll and enjoy the Southern California sun.

The drivers are well-acquainted with the mall's layout and can coordinate a specific pickup time and location that works for your schedule. With plenty of storage space on the bus, your group won't have to worry about carrying heavy shopping bags around for the rest of the day.
