Field Trip Transportation to Des Moines Attractions
Give your campers a summer they’ll never forget with field trips to the best attractions in Central Iowa! Charter Bus Company Ankeny provides direct transportation to destinations like the Science Center of Iowa, Des Moines Art Center, Living History Farms, Blank Park Zoo, and Adventureland Park. Skip the hassle of carpooling or public transit—your group will travel together in a comfortable, air-conditioned bus with plenty of room for backpacks, coolers, and chaperones. For longer excursions, such as day trips to the Iowa State Fairgrounds or the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge, you can rent a charter bus equipped with reclining seats, restrooms, and entertainment systems to keep kids comfortable and entertained on the road.

A few of the companies Charter Bus Company Ankeny has worked with





Camp Airport Transfers Made Simple
If your camp welcomes out-of-state staff, volunteers, or campers flying into Des Moines International Airport (DSM), let us handle the airport transfers. We can dispatch a private bus to meet your group at the terminal, assist with luggage, and provide direct transportation to your campsite or lodging. No need to worry about coordinating multiple pick-ups or navigating unfamiliar roads—everyone will arrive together, comfortably, and on time. For departing flights, we’ll make sure your group gets to the airport with plenty of time to spare. This service is ideal for camps located outside the immediate Des Moines area, such as those near Saylorville Lake, Big Creek State Park, or even farther afield in Ames or Grinnell.
Comfortable Buses for Every Type of Camp
We know that no two camps are alike—which is why we offer so many different types of buses! For short-distance shuttles within Ankeny or between nearby towns like Johnston and Polk City, a 25-passenger minibus is a practical choice. Larger groups heading to destinations like Adventureland or the Iowa State Fairgrounds will appreciate the space and amenities of a 56-passenger motorcoach. And if you’re running a specialty camp—such as a theater camp with lots of props, or a sports camp with bulky equipment—we can provide a bus with extra storage bays to accommodate your needs.
Affordable Rates and Flexible Scheduling
Budget is always a concern for summer camps, especially those that rely on donations or grants. That’s why we offer some of the most competitive rates in the industry, along with flexible scheduling options to maximize your transportation dollars. You can book a bus for a single day, a full week, or the entire summer—whatever works best for your program. We also offer discounts for non-profit organizations and multi-week contracts.
