A Group Travel Guide to Vallejo, California's Best Destinations

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

Without a doubt, the crown jewel of Vallejo's entertainment scene is Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. This 135-acre animal theme park is unique because it combines a marine life aquarium, a terrestrial zoo, and a massive amusement park all in one location. Your group can start the day watching a dolphin demonstration, feed a giraffe, and then strap in for high-speed thrills on roller coasters like Medusa or The Joker. It is the perfect destination for senior grad nights, youth group outings, and corporate family days.

Getting a large group into a theme park can be chaotic, but a charter bus rental streamlines the process. Instead of waiting for everyone to find parking spots in the massive (and expensive) general lots, your charter bus driver can drop your group off near the main entrance at the designated commercial loading zones. After a long day of walking and screaming on rides, there is nothing better than collapsing into a plush seat in a climate-controlled bus for the ride home. Address: 1001 Fairgrounds Dr, Vallejo, CA 94589

Mare Island Naval Shipyard

For history buffs and educational groups, a visit to Mare Island is non-negotiable. As the first United States naval base on the West Coast, established in 1854, Mare Island has a rich legacy of shipbuilding that spans both World Wars. Today, the island is a fascinating mix of historic landmarks, museums, and repurposed industrial spaces. Your group can tour the majestic St. Peter's Chapel, known for its stunning Tiffany stained-glass windows, or visit the opulent Captain’s Mansion row.

Navigating the island can be tricky for first-timers, but a minibus rental makes it easy to hop between the dry docks, the museum, and the scenic waterfront promenade. We can organize a custom itinerary that includes a stop at the Mare Island Museum to see artifacts from the USS Saginaw and other historic vessels. It is an ideal spot for veteran reunions or school history trips looking to dive deep into California’s maritime past. Address: 1100 Railroad Ave, Vallejo, CA 94592

San Francisco Bay Ferry – Vallejo Terminal

Sometimes the best way to see the Bay Area is by boat, and the Vallejo Ferry Terminal serves as the gateway to San Francisco without the hassle of Bay Bridge traffic. Located right on the waterfront, the ferry offers a scenic, hour-long ride past Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge, landing at the San Francisco Ferry Building or Pier 41. This is a fantastic option for groups staying in Vallejo who want a day trip to the city without the expense of city parking.

Charter Bus Rental Company Vallejo can provide a seamless shuttle service from your local hotel or meeting point directly to the ferry terminal. We can drop you off right at the curb so you can catch your boat with ease. Once you return in the evening, your driver will be waiting to take you to dinner or back to your accommodations. It’s the stress-free way to combine a bus tour with a bay cruise. Address: 289 Mare Island Way, Vallejo, CA 94590

Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum

Located in the heart of downtown Vallejo, the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum preserves the history of the city and the U.S. Navy presence at Mare Island. Housed in the historic 1927 Old City Hall building, the museum features five galleries of exhibits ranging from Native American history to the city’s development and naval operations. It is a treasure trove for students and researchers alike.

Parking in downtown areas can often be a challenge for multiple vehicles, but a charter bus solves this instantly. Your driver can drop your group at the front steps and park off-site until you are ready to leave. This venue is perfect for educational field trips, and we offer buses equipped with PA systems so teachers or tour guides can give a briefing on local history before you even step off the bus. Address: 734 Marin St, Vallejo, CA 94590

The Empress Theatre

For a touch of old-school glamour, plan an evening at the Empress Theatre. Built in 1911, this historic landmark has been beautifully restored and now serves as a premier venue for live music, comedy, and film screenings. Its neoclassical architecture and red velvet interior transport visitors back in time. It is a fantastic venue for corporate events, private screenings, or just a sophisticated night out with a large group of friends.

Coordinating a night out for a large group usually involves designated drivers or splitting into multiple rideshares. With a party bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Vallejo, the party starts the moment you board. You can enjoy music on the bus’s sound system and relax knowing that everyone will arrive at the theatre together and get home comfortably after the show. It turns a standard night out into a VIP experience. Address: 330 Virginia St, Vallejo, CA 94590

Blue Rock Springs Park

If your group is looking to enjoy the California sunshine, Blue Rock Springs Park is a local favorite. This sprawling park features acres of open space, picnic areas, playgrounds, and hiking trails. It is also famous for its resident peacocks that roam the grounds! It is an excellent location for company picnics, family reunions, or community gatherings. The park also provides access to the Hanns Park Trail for those looking to stretch their legs.

Transporting picnic supplies, sports equipment, and coolers is a breeze with a charter bus. Our full-size motorcoaches come with ample undercarriage storage, meaning you don't have to cram potato salad and lawn chairs into the trunk of a sedan. Your driver can drop you right near the picnic pavilions, making setup and breakdown incredibly easy for your event organizers. Address: 650 Columbus Pkwy, Vallejo, CA 94591

Gateway to Napa Valley (Highway 29)

While technically just outside the city limits, Vallejo’s strategic location at the southern end of Highway 29 makes it the official "Gateway to Napa Valley." Many groups choose to stay in Vallejo for more affordable lodging and take day trips up into the wine country. Within a 15 to 20-minute drive, you can reach the first tier of world-class vineyards and tasting rooms in American Canyon and Napa.

A wine tour is the quintessential group activity in this region, but comfort is paramount. Renting a charter bus or minibus for a wine tour ensures that everyone can indulge in tastings responsibly. You get a built-in designated driver who will navigate the winding valley roads while you enjoy the scenery and the company. We can help you build a custom itinerary that starts in Vallejo and hits all your favorite wineries up Highway 29. Location: Highway 29 North, accessible from Vallejo, CA

McCune Rare Book and Art Collection

For a hidden gem that appeals to literature lovers and art aficionados, the McCune Rare Book and Art Collection is a must-see. Located within the John F. Kennedy Library in downtown Vallejo, this collection was donated by Donovan McCune and features rare books, printing equipment, and California art. It offers a quiet, intellectual retreat and fascinating insight into the history of the written word.

This is a perfect stop for smaller academic groups or book clubs. A minibus rental is the ideal size for this kind of intimate outing. Your group can travel comfortably to the library, explore the collection, and perhaps head to a nearby cafe on Georgia Street to discuss what you’ve seen. It’s a specialized destination that shows the cultural depth of Vallejo. Address: 505 Santa Clara St, Vallejo, CA 94590 (Lower Level of JFK Library)
