A Group Travel Guide to Lowell, Massachusetts's Best Destinations

Lowell National Historical Park

If you are planning a group visit to Lowell, the Lowell National Historical Park (246 Market St, Lowell, MA 01852) is likely at the top of your list. This urban park tells the story of the American Industrial Revolution through preserved mills, boarding houses, and a complex canal system. For groups traveling by bus, we recommend starting at the Visitor Center on Market Street. Your driver can drop your group off at the designated loading zone right in front, allowing for easy access to the museum exhibits and canal boat tours. After dropping the group, buses often relocate to the Hamilton Canal Innovation District parking areas to avoid clogging the narrow downtown streets. When you book a charter bus rental in Lowell with us, your driver will be good with these specific maneuvers, ensuring your students or history buffs arrive on time. We’ve helped hundreds of schools from across Massachusetts and New Hampshire organize their field trips here, providing modern coaches with onboard WiFi and climate control to keep learners comfortable during the ride.

Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell

The Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell (300 Arcand Dr, Lowell, MA 01852) is the premier venue for sports, concerts, and large-scale conventions in the Merrimack Valley. Home to the UMass Lowell River Hawks hockey team, the arena draws massive crowds for home games and national touring acts. Navigating game-day traffic around Arcand Drive and Father Morissette Blvd can be a major headache for individual carpools—so why not ride together in a private charter bus or party bus? Our 24/7 team can coordinate a seamless arrival, utilizing the commercial bus lanes for quick drop-offs near the main entrance. For larger events, we can even arrange multiple shuttle loops between downtown hotels and the arena. Whether you are a fan club cheering for the River Hawks or a corporate coordinator managing a 5,000-person conference, Charter Bus Rental Company Lowell provides the fleet and expertise to handle the job. Our motorcoaches offer ample undercarriage storage for tailgating gear or convention materials, ensuring your group stays organized from start to finish.

Edward A. LeLacheur Park

For sports fans and community groups, Edward A. LeLacheur Park (450 Aiken St, Lowell, MA 01854) is a beautiful destination for a summer afternoon. Located right on the banks of the Merrimack River, this stadium hosts UMass Lowell baseball and various community events. If you are coordinating a group outing for a local youth baseball league or a company employee appreciation day, a minibus rental is the perfect solution. We’ll drop you off curbside on Aiken Street, just steps from the gate, so you don’t have to worry about finding parking in the busy University Heights neighborhood. The drivers are well-versed in navigating the campus area, avoiding the common bottlenecks near the Aiken Street Bridge. After the game, your bus will be waiting to take your group to one of Lowell’s famous local eateries or comfortably back to your starting point. With plush reclining seats and powerful air conditioning, the ride back will be the perfect way to unwind after a day in the sun.

Lowell Memorial Auditorium

The Lowell Memorial Auditorium (50 E Merrimack St, Lowell, MA 01852) is a historic landmark that hosts everything from Golden Gloves boxing to Broadway-style theater and national comedy tours. Because it is located in the heart of downtown, parking for a large group can be nearly impossible during peak event times. Charter Bus Rental Company Lowell specializes in event transportation for this specific venue, offering 15- to 50-passenger vehicles that can easily navigate East Merrimack Street. We recommend that your driver utilizes the drop-off zone directly in front of the auditorium before heading to an off-site lot for staging. This ensures your guests, especially those with mobility needs, don’t have to walk long distances from city garages. Since 2011, we have been the first call for wedding parties hosting receptions here and for community groups attending holiday shows. Let us handle the traffic logistics so you can enjoy the performance.

Whistler House Museum of Art

Art lovers and educational groups will find a hidden gem at the Whistler House Museum of Art (243 Worthen St, Lowell, MA 01852), the birthplace of the world-renowned painter James McNeill Whistler. Located in the historic Acre neighborhood, this destination is ideal for intimate group tours and private receptions. Because Worthen Street is a narrow residential road, we highly recommend booking a minibus for your visit. Our 18-passenger and 25-passenger minibuses are perfectly sized to navigate these tighter urban corridors while providing the same luxury amenities as our larger coaches, such as leather seating and Bluetooth sound systems. Your driver will coordinate the best loading spot to ensure a smooth transition from the bus to the museum doors. We’ve worked with many local art societies and university departments to provide professional, discrete transportation for their gallery crawls. It’s the easiest way to travel Lowell’s arts scene without the stress of city driving.

Western Avenue Studios & Lofts

Western Avenue Studios (122 Western Ave, Lowell, MA 01851) is one of the largest artist communities in the country, housing hundreds of creative professionals. This is a must-visit destination for groups during their monthly "Open Studios" events or for private tours of the galleries. The facility offers a large private parking lot, making it one of the most bus-friendly locations in the city. When you rent a charter bus in Lowell for a trip to Western Avenue, your group can travel together and store any artwork or souvenirs they purchase in the bus’s spacious storage compartments. Whether you are bringing a group from a local senior center or organizing a creative retreat for your corporate team, we’ll make sure your transportation is as inspired as your destination. Our reservation specialists are available 24/7 to help you build a custom itinerary that includes a stop here along with other Lowell highlights.

For a sophisticated night out, the Merrimack Repertory Theatre (50 E Merrimack St, Lowell, MA 01852) offers world-class professional theater in an intimate setting. Sharing space near the Lowell Memorial Auditorium, this venue is a staple of the city’s cultural life. Group tickets are a popular choice for social clubs, retirement communities, and academic groups. Booking a private shuttle bus rental ensures that everyone in your party arrives at the same time, ready for the curtain call. You won’t have to worry about guests getting lost downtown or missing the first act because of parking delays. At the end of the show, your driver will be waiting right outside to whisk your group away to a post-show dinner or back to your hotel. We pride ourselves on providing the most reliable and professional service in Lowell, ensuring your theater outing is seamless from start to finish.

Lowell Cemetery

Lowell Cemetery (77 Knapp Ave, Lowell, MA 01852) is a breathtaking Victorian garden cemetery that serves as a quiet retreat and a historical archive for the city’s founding families. Groups often visit for guided historical tours or to appreciate the stunning funerary art and landscaping. Navigating a large motorcoach through the winding, narrow paths of a historic cemetery requires a friendly and patient driver. Our team at Charter Bus Rental Company Lowell has extensive experience with these types of sensitive locations. We’ll help you coordinate the best entrance the Lawrence Street gate—and ensure the bus moves respectfully throughout the grounds.
