A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Clifton Arts Center & Sculpture Park
For groups interested in culture and the arts, the Clifton Arts Center & Sculpture Park is a must-visit destination. Located on the grounds of the sheer majestic City Hall complex, this attraction offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Arts Center is housed in two converted barns, providing a rustic yet sophisticated backdrop for rotating art exhibits featuring local and regional artists. Outside, the 26-acre Sculpture Park invites visitors to stroll through beautifully landscaped grounds dotted with contemporary sculptures. It is an ideal spot for school field trips looking for art education or senior citizen groups seeking a leisurely, accessible afternoon outing.
Traveling to the Arts Center with a group is seamless when you rent a bus with Charter Bus Clifton. The venue is located at 900 Clifton Ave, Clifton, NJ 07013. Parking for multiple cars can be tricky during events, but a charter bus can drop your group off right at the entrance before parking in a designated area. Your group can store picnic lunches or art supplies in the overhead bins or undercarriage storage of the bus, leaving their hands free to enjoy the exhibits. After soaking in the creativity, your driver will be waiting to whisk you away to your next stop, perhaps for a bite to eat at a nearby restaurant.
Rutt’s Hut
No trip to Clifton is complete without a culinary pilgrimage to Rutt's Hut. Famous nationwide and featured on various food travel shows, this historic roadside stand has been serving up its legendary deep-fried hot dogs, known as "Rippers," since 1928. The casing of the hot dog rips open during the frying process, giving it a unique texture that locals adore. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the experience. The nostalgic atmosphere of the dining room and the walk-up counter makes it a fun, casual dining option for sports teams, bachelor parties, or tour groups passing through the area looking for an authentic taste of New Jersey.
Garret Mountain Reservation
Situated on the border of Clifton and Woodland Park, Garret Mountain Reservation offers some of the most breathtaking views in the entire state. Perched more than 500 feet above sea level, this 568-acre park provides panoramic vistas of the New York City skyline that are perfect for group photos. The reservation is also home to Lambert Castle, a 19th-century historical landmark that adds a touch of Gilded Age grandeur to your visit. With miles of hiking trails, bird-watching areas, and picnic groves, it is a fantastic destination for outdoor enthusiasts, scout troops, and nature clubs. The park truly shines during the fall foliage season and the spring cherry blossom bloom.
Accessing the reservation can involve navigating winding roads that are much easier to handle in a professional charter bus than in a convoy of personal cars. We can transport your group to 2881 Mountain Ave, Woodland Park, NJ 07424 (accessible from Clifton), dropping you off near the Lambert Castle or the picnic grounds. After a day of hiking or birding, your group will appreciate the comfort of a climate-controlled bus rental. They can recline their seats, cool off in the air conditioning, and share photos of the NYC skyline over the onboard WiFi while your driver handles the descent down the mountain.
The Promenade Shops at Clifton
If your group loves to shop, The Promenade Shops at Clifton offers an upscale, open-air lifestyle center experience that is perfect for a day of retail therapy. Located conveniently on Route 3, this shopping destination features a mix of popular national retailers, boutiques, and a variety of dining options ranging from casual eateries to sit-down restaurants. It’s a great stop for spouse programs during corporate conventions, holiday shopping trips for social clubs, or just a fun day out for a group of friends. The layout allows for a pleasant walking experience between stores, with plenty of outdoor seating to relax.
Traffic on Route 3 can be notoriously heavy, but with Charter Bus Clifton, you won't have to worry about the white-knuckle drive. We will take your group directly to 850-852 Route 3, Clifton, NJ 07012. A major benefit of taking a charter bus for a shopping trip is the storage capacity. You don't need to worry about fitting all your bags and new purchases into a cramped trunk. Our full-size motorcoaches come equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays, meaning there is plenty of room for everyone’s shopping hauls. Your driver can drop you off at a central location and pick you up when you are shopped out, ensuring a door-to-door VIP experience.
Hamilton House Museum
Dive deep into local history with a visit to the Hamilton House Museum. This 18th-century Dutch farmhouse was relocated to its current site in the 1970s and now serves as a window into the past, illustrating how the Van Wagoner and Hamilton families lived during the agricultural era of Clifton. The museum offers guided tours that explore the architecture, artifacts, and stories of the region's early settlers. It is an educational gem perfect for school field trips, historical societies, and anyone interested in the rich heritage of Passaic County.
Located at 971 Valley Rd, Clifton, NJ 07013, the Hamilton House is nestled in a park-like setting. Organizing a field trip here is made infinitely easier with a charter bus rental. Instead of coordinating parent drivers or relying on yellow school buses that lack comfort, a modern charter bus keeps the students and chaperones together. You can utilize the onboard PA system to give students a primer on Dutch colonial history before you arrive, turning travel time into instructional time. Plus, with a private bus, you have the flexibility to combine this visit with other nearby historical sites for a full day of learning.
Ghost Hawk Brewing Company
For adult groups looking to experience the local craft beer scene, Ghost Hawk Brewing Company is Clifton's first craft brewery and a top destination for beer aficionados. Located across from Rutt's Hut, this brewery offers a rotating selection of IPAs, lagers, and stouts in a welcoming taproom environment. It is an excellent venue for bachelor parties, corporate happy hours, or a weekend outing with friends. The brewery often hosts food trucks and events, creating a lively community atmosphere that reflects the spirit of Clifton.
Comfort is paramount when alcohol is involved, and renting a bus from Charter Bus Clifton is the smartest way to enjoy Ghost Hawk Brewing Company responsibly. You can find them at 321 River Rd, Clifton, NJ 07014. By hiring a bus driver, you ensure that everyone in your group has a designated driver for the entire evening. You can sample the latest brews without worrying about rideshare surge pricing or navigating Route 21 after dark. Your bus will be waiting to take everyone home comfortably or to the next stop on your nightlife itinerary.
Clifton Commons
Clifton Commons is a massive retail and entertainment complex that serves as a major draw for groups looking for variety. Anchored by the AMC Clifton Commons 16, this location is perfect for youth groups, summer camps, or birthday parties looking to catch the latest blockbuster movie. The complex also features numerous restaurants and large retail stores, making it a one-stop-shop for entertainment and dining. It is a high-traffic area located directly off Route 3, making it incredibly accessible but also prone to congestion.
Navigating the parking lot at Clifton Commons can be a headache on busy weekends, but not when you are in a charter bus. We can drop your group off right in front of the theater at 405 Route 3, Clifton, NJ 07014. While your group enjoys the movie and popcorn, your driver will handle the vehicle. If you are planning a large outing for a movie premier or a private screening, a charter bus keeps the excitement high. You can even use the onboard TV screens to watch the trailer or previous movies in the franchise while you travel to the theater!
Main Memorial Park
Sometimes the best destination is a beautiful green space where your group can relax and reconnect. Main Memorial Park is a beloved community staple in Clifton, offering walking paths, a pond, sports fields, and tennis courts. It is the site of many town events, flea markets, and concerts. For family reunions, company picnics, or sports team gatherings, the park provides ample space to spread out and enjoy the outdoors. The park also features monuments honoring veterans, adding a somber and respectful historical element to your visit.
Located at 1395 Main Ave, Clifton, NJ 07011, Main Memorial Park is easily accessible by bus. When you rent a charter bus for a park outing, you have the advantage of storage. You can pack coolers, sports equipment, folding chairs, and outdoor games in the bus's luggage bays. Once you arrive, your group can unload and set up for a day of fun without having to cram equipment into multiple small cars. If the weather turns, the bus provides a dry, climate-controlled shelter for your group to wait out any rain showers.
