Take Your Class to Paterson Great Falls — The Easiest Field Trip in the City
Got 30 seconds?

Admission is free, making it one of the most budget-friendly field trip options in Passaic County.
Buses drop off on McBride Avenue Extension near the visitor center and the overlook, with staging available on nearby Grand Street.

Compare buses and lock in your date in under a minute!
Bus Rentals for Field Trips to Liberty Science Center From Paterson
Wherever your students are in the science curriculum, a field trip to Liberty Science Center (222 Jersey City Blvd, Jersey City, NJ 07305) puts it all in three dimensions. It is one of the most popular field trip destinations in New Jersey, and the roughly 35- to 45-minute ride from Paterson via I-80 East to the NJ Turnpike is easy on a full-size motorcoach. Buses enter Liberty State Park via Freedom Way and park in the designated school and charter bus area adjacent to the museum — a parking fee applies, so check current rates on the Liberty Science Center getting here page before your trip.
The bus lot accommodates up to 60 buses with head-in parking, and the current school-bus rate is $10 per day. Enter from Phillip Street to drop off students, then continue to the parking-lot entrance. Group reservations are required, so lock in your bus date early!

For younger students, the New Jersey Children's Museum (599 Valley Health Plaza, Paramus, NJ 07652) is just 20 to 25 minutes away via Route 4 East, with bus drop-off at the main entrance and parking in the adjacent plaza lot.

Field Trip Buses to New York City From Paterson, NJ
Need to get your class across the George Washington Bridge and into Manhattan for a world-class field trip? A charter bus from Paterson to New York City is one of the smartest moves a teacher can make! The American Museum of Natural History (Central Park West at 79th St, New York, NY 10024) is roughly 30 to 45 minutes away via I-80 East — school buses should drop off in the museum garage at 54 West 81st Street, entered from 81st Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue.
The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum (Pier 86, 12th Ave at 46th St, New York, NY 10036) is another outstanding STEM option, about 30 to 40 minutes via I-80 East and the Lincoln Tunnel, with bus drop-off inside the bus parking lot on the northbound side of 12th Avenue between 45th and 46th Streets across from the museum. The southbound side of 12th Avenue in front of the museum is not permitted for bus drop-off or pickup; use the Intrepid Museum group bus parking instructions so the bus rolls into the correct curb. Group reservations are required at both venues — book your bus early and check each venue's group visit page for current details!
Spring Field Trip Season in Paterson Fills Up Fast — Book Early!
What most Paterson teachers and trip coordinators discover too late is that spring field trip season — April through June — is the single busiest stretch of the year for charter buses across all of Passaic County. Every school in the region is chasing the same warm-weather dates, the same popular destinations, and the same pool of available buses. Waiting until March to book a May field trip almost always means higher prices and fewer vehicle options.
The smart move is to lock in your bus two to three months out, especially for end-of-year trips in May and June. Patersoncoachbuscompany.com makes it incredibly easy to check availability and compare pricing right now, before the calendar fills. Fill out one quick form or call 862-407-6860 today and get your field trip transportation sorted before the rush!

The National Park Service does not maintain a dedicated charter bus parking lot at Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park. Buses typically drop students off on McBride Avenue Extension near the visitor center overlook, then stage on nearby Grand Street or McBride Avenue while the group tours the park. The Overlook Park lot has free two-hour parking, but spaces are extremely limited, especially on weekends and holidays; additional parking is available downtown within walking distance.
See the Paterson Great Falls current parking conditions before the trip. Confirm current access details with the park directly at (973) 523-0370 before your visit, since staging arrangements can vary by season and event schedule.
For most field trips, book four to eight weeks in advance. For spring trips in April, May, and June — the busiest field trip season across Passaic County — book two to three months out. End-of-year trips in May and June fill the fastest across the entire region.
Waiting until the last minute almost always means higher prices and fewer vehicle choices, so the earlier you compare, the better your options will be!
Yes! Charter buses from Paterson reach Manhattan in roughly 30 to 45 minutes via I-80 East and the George Washington Bridge or Lincoln Tunnel, depending on traffic. Popular NYC field trip destinations include the American Museum of Natural History (Central Park West at 79th St) and the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum (Pier 86, 12th Ave at 46th St).
Group reservations are required at both venues — book your bus early and confirm current group visit details directly with each museum before your trip.
A 56-passenger full-size motorcoach works well for a standard full-class trip and comes with undercarriage storage for backpacks and gear — great for longer runs to Liberty Science Center or New York City. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is a better fit for smaller specialty groups or shorter in-city trips like a visit to the Paterson Museum or Paterson Great Falls. ADA-accessible buses are available through the network too — just mention your needs when you fill out the quote form!
