A Group Travel Guide to Baltimore, Maryland's Major Destinations & Events

National Aquarium

The National Aquarium (501 E Pratt St, Baltimore, MD 21202) is Baltimore's most-visited attraction, drawing over 1.2 million guests annually. For group leaders, the biggest hurdle is the Pratt Street congestion. Your charter bus driver will utilize the designated bus drop-off zone located on the eastbound side of Pratt Street, directly in front of the Aquarium. Buses are strictly prohibited from idling here; after unloading, we stage our 56-passenger motorcoaches at the Maryland Stadium Authority bus parking lot (Lot H) near M&T Bank Stadium, which costs approximately $35–$50 depending on the event schedule. The Aquarium is open daily, usually from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (extended on Fridays). Pro tip: Schedule your arrival for Tuesday or Wednesday mornings to avoid the heavy weekend crowds and the Pier 3 bottleneck.

Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Home to the Baltimore Orioles, Camden Yards (333 W Camden St, Baltimore, MD 21201) is a "bucket list" stadium. On game days, traffic on I-395 and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd becomes a standstill 90 minutes before the first pitch. We recommend your group use a Baltimore charter bus to access the designated commercial bus drop-off on West Pratt Street between Howard and Eutaw Streets. For parking, you must reserve a spot in Lot O or Lot B/C in advance through the Orioles’ commercial bus program.

Baltimore Convention Center

Located in the heart of the business district, the Baltimore Convention Center (1 W Pratt St, Baltimore, MD 21201) hosts massive trade shows and the annual Baltimore Comic-Con. The facility's primary loading and unloading zone for shuttle bus rentals is the Charles Street side or the designated cutout on Pratt Street. Coordination is key here—Lombard and Pratt Streets are one-way thoroughfares that move quickly. A 25-passenger minibus is often the best choice for hotel-to-convention shuttles as it maneuvers the narrow turns better than a full-sized coach. For large-scale events, we can provide a fleet of white or black motorcoaches equipped with onboard WiFi and power outlets so your attendees can stay productive while transiting from the BWI airport hotels or the waterfront Marriott.

M&T Bank Stadium

Ravens game days are legendary, but parking a private vehicle near M&T Bank Stadium (1101 Russell St, Baltimore, MD 21230) is a nightmare of closed exits and $60 "event pricing" lots. Your Charter Bus Baltimore driver will navigate the "Ravens Walk" traffic by dropping your group off at the bus loop on Russell Street or near Gate A. Designated bus parking is strictly enforced in Lot J. We highly recommend arriving at least three hours before kickoff to secure your spot and avoid the I-95 South bottleneck. With a party bus or a motorcoach, your group can enjoy a private tailgate with flat-screen TVs and climate control right up until you head into the stadium. Don't worry about the post-game surge pricing on rideshares; your driver will be staged and waiting exactly where you left them.

Fort McHenry National Monument

The birthplace of the "Star-Spangled Banner," Fort McHenry (2400 E Fort Ave, Baltimore, MD 21230) is a staple for school field trips. The entrance road, East Fort Avenue, is a long, narrow residential stretch that ends in a dedicated bus parking circle. Unlike the downtown attractions, Fort McHenry offers ample, free bus parking for school bus rentals and motorcoaches within the park grounds. The site is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We suggest booking a 47-passenger school bus for local student groups or a 56-passenger charter bus with an onboard restroom for out-of-town groups coming from DC or Philly. Be sure to check the "Changing of the Guard" schedule to time your drop-off perfectly.

The Walters Art Museum

Situated in the historic Mount Vernon neighborhood, The Walters Art Museum (600 N Charles St, Baltimore, MD 21201) offers free admission and world-class exhibits. However, Mount Vernon is notorious for its extremely narrow streets and lack of oversized parking. Buses should unload passengers on Centre Street near the museum's main entrance. Since there is no onsite bus parking, the drivers move the vehicle to the Baltimore Museum of Industry lot or the stadium area until your group is ready for pickup. We recommend a 15-passenger luxury sprinter van or a 25-passenger minibus for this area, as a full-sized 45-foot coach can struggle with the tight turns on Cathedral Street. The museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Maryland Science Center

Perfect for corporate family days and youth groups, the Maryland Science Center (601 Light St, Baltimore, MD 21230) sits at the southwest corner of the Inner Harbor. The designated drop-off point is located on Light Street in the commercial vehicle cutout. This area is high-traffic, especially during the morning rush (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM) as commuters head toward the CBD. Your driver will likely utilize the I-395 route to bypass the heaviest parts of the harbor traffic. Our 35-passenger minibuses are the "Goldilocks" choice for these trips—plenty of room for snacks and bags in overhead bins, but compact enough to handle the Light Street curve with ease. The center usually operates from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport

Transporting a group from BWI Airport (7050 Friendship Rd, Baltimore, MD 21240) requires precision. Charter Bus Baltimore provides seamless airport transfers by utilizing the Commercial Transportation Lane on the lower level (Arrivals). Buses are not permitted to wait at the curb; we coordinate "timed arrivals" where your driver waits in the Cell Phone Lot on Scott Drive until your group has cleared baggage claim. Whether you need an executive sprinter van for a small board of directors or a fleet of 56-passenger motorcoaches for a corporate takeover, we ensure a smooth 20-minute ride into downtown Baltimore via MD-295 (the Baltimore-Washington Parkway), avoiding the frequent accidents on I-95.
