A Group Travel Guide to Ogden, Utah's Best Destinations

Historic 25th Street

No trip to Ogden is complete without a stroll down Historic 25th Street. Once known as "Two-Bit Street" and notorious for its rough-and-tumble reputation during the railroad boom, this three-block district is now the trendy heartbeat of the city. It is packed with locally-owned boutiques, art galleries, and some of the best dining in Northern Utah. Your group can explore unique shops, grab a coffee at a local roaster, or enjoy a meal at iconic spots like Roosters Brewing Company or Tona Sushi. During the summer, the street comes alive with the Farmers Market Ogden, drawing huge crowds.

Transportation to Historic 25th Street can be tricky for large groups due to limited street parking and high pedestrian traffic. By renting a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Ogden, you avoid the headache of finding fifteen different parking spots. Your driver can drop your group off right at the corner of Washington Blvd and 25th Street, allowing you to explore the area on foot. When you are done shopping and dining, your bus will be waiting at a designated pickup point to whisk you away to your next adventure. It is the ultimate way to experience the charm of downtown without the hassle.

Ogden Union Station

Anchoring the west end of Historic 25th Street is the magnificent Ogden Union Station. This architectural gem serves as a testament to Ogden's history as the "Crossroads of the West." Inside, your group will find four distinct museums: the Utah State Railroad Museum, the John M. Browning Firearms Museum, the Browning-Kimball Classic Car Museum, and the Utah Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. It is an ideal destination for school field trips, history buffs, and corporate cultural outings. The station also hosts major events, including weddings and community festivals.

Coordinating a visit here is seamless with Charter Bus Rental Company Ogden. While there is a parking lot, it fills up quickly during events or peak museum hours. A private bus rental ensures your group arrives together, and we can arrange close drop-off access so guests don't have to walk far—a huge plus for senior tour groups or those with mobility concerns. After touring the museums, your group can hop back on the bus for a quick transfer to a lunch spot or your hotel. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the incredible history of the Transcontinental Railroad.

George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park

Travel back in time to the prehistoric era at the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park. Located near the mouth of Ogden Canyon, this park features over 100 life-sized dinosaur sculptures inspired by actual fossils found in the region. It is a fantastic destination for educational groups, summer camps, and family reunions. The park includes an education center with working paleontology labs and hands-on exhibits that fascinate visitors of all ages. It’s an outdoor adventure that combines learning with a walk through a beautiful, tree-lined setting.

Getting a large group of energetic kids (or adults!) to the park is much easier on a single charter bus than in a convoy of parents' cars. Our buses have plenty of undercarriage storage for packed lunches, coolers, and backpacks. Plus, with onboard DVD players and monitors, you can play dinosaur-themed documentaries or movies like Jurassic Park during the drive to build excitement. Your driver will navigate the route along Canyon Road safely, dropping you right at the entrance gate for a day of prehistoric fun.

Hill Aerospace Museum

Located just south of Ogden near Roy, the Hill Aerospace Museum is a must-see for aviation enthusiasts and history lovers. As part of Hill Air Force Base, the museum boasts an extensive collection of over 90 aircraft, ranging from early biplanes to modern fighter jets and massive cargo planes. Admission is free, making it a budget-friendly option for large groups. Visitors can walk under the wings of giants and learn about the history of the United States Air Force in Utah.

The museum grounds are expansive, and arranging a meetup point for a large group driving separately can be confusing. With a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Ogden, your group stays together from start to finish. The museum offers ample space for motorcoach parking, and the drivers are experienced in navigating the base area traffic. Whether you are bringing a veteran's group to see the history they helped shape or a physics class learning about aerodynamics, a comfortable motorcoach ensures everyone arrives rested and ready to explore.

Snowbasin Resort

Famous for hosting the downhill skiing events during the 2002 Winter Olympics, Snowbasin Resort is a world-class destination located just a short drive from Ogden. In the winter, it offers incredible skiing and snowboarding. In the summer, the resort transforms into a hub for hiking, mountain biking, and open-air concerts like "Blues, Brews & BBQ." It is also a premier wedding destination, offering breathtaking mountain views and luxurious lodges.

Driving up the winding mountain roads of Ogden Canyon or Trappers Loop can be intimidating, especially in winter conditions or for those unfamiliar with mountain driving. Renting a charter bus is the most convenient way to get your group to the slopes or the wedding venue. Our buses are meant for all weather conditions, and the drivers handle the hairpin turns while your group relaxes in a warm, climate-controlled cabin. For ski groups, our full-sized coaches offer massive luggage bays perfect for storing skis, snowboards, and heavy winter gear.

The Salomon Center

If your group is looking for high-adrenaline fun without leaving the city limits, The Salomon Center at The Junction is the place to be. This indoor adventure complex features iFly Utah (indoor skydiving), the Flowrider (indoor surfing), and a massive rock climbing wall. It also houses a megaplex movie theater and a Gold's Gym. It is the perfect spot for youth groups, corporate team-building events, and birthday parties that want a variety of activities in one central location.

The Junction area in downtown Ogden is bustling with activity, shops, and apartments, making parking a challenge for multiple vehicles. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Ogden is the ideal solution. We can drop your thrill-seekers off right at the front doors of the Salomon Center. While your group learns to fly or surf, your driver will handle the parking logistics. Afterward, we can shuttle you to nearby restaurants on 25th Street or take you back to your accommodations. It’s stress-free adventure travel at its finest.

Ogden Nature Center

For a peaceful retreat into the wild, take your group to the Ogden Nature Center. This 152-acre nature preserve and education center offers a sanctuary for local wildlife and a place for people to connect with the natural world. The center features walking trails, birdwatching stations, and live animal exhibits, including birds of prey. It is a favorite spot for school field trips, scout troops, and environmental organizations looking to learn about Utah's unique ecosystem.

While the Nature Center feels worlds away, it is conveniently located within the city. However, coordinating a large group arrival ensures that your scheduled tour or educational program starts on time. A charter bus rental keeps your schedule tight and organized. Teachers and group leaders can use the onboard PA system to give briefings on nature etiquette or distribute worksheets before arrival. Charter Bus Rental Company Ogden makes educational travel seamless, ensuring you maximize your time on the trails rather than waiting for stragglers in the parking lot.

Peery's Egyptian Theater

Step into the golden age of cinema at Peery's Egyptian Theater. This stunning movie palace, built in 1924, is one of the few remaining examples of Egyptian Revival architecture in the country. Today, it serves as a performing arts venue hosting concerts, theater productions, classic movie screenings, and is even a venue for the Sundance Film Festival. Its atmospheric ceiling, designed to look like a twilight sky, and ornate decor make every event feel special.

Attending a show here is a highlight of any trip to Ogden, but downtown event parking can be a headache. Whether you are organizing a senior citizen outing to a matinee or a corporate gala evening, a charter bus rental adds a touch of elegance and convenience. We offer door-to-door service, dropping your group off under the marquee for a VIP entrance. No one has to worry about walking blocks in heels or finding their car in the dark after the show. Let Charter Bus Rental Company Ogden provide the red-carpet treatment your group deserves.
