Browse a large selection of buses, packages, and pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving Jonesboro, Arkansas — all in one place, in under 30 seconds! Jonesborocharterbusservices.com is not a local bus company. Because we don't own any vehicles, you're never limited to a single fleet or whatever one operator happens to have available. Instead, you get access to minibuses, full-size charter buses, and everything in between from a network of providers serving Craighead County and all of Northeast Arkansas.
Fill out one form, compare your options side by side with vehicle photos and upfront pricing, and choose the bus that works for your group and your itinerary. Call 870-393-0188 or use the online quote tool to get started right now!
More Buses, More Options for Your School Event Transportation
That's the whole point of comparing across a network instead of calling one company — you get options that actually fit your group! A 15-passenger minibus works perfectly for a small enrichment group heading to the Bradbury Art Museum on the Arkansas State University campus. A 56-passenger charter bus with overhead storage, reclining seats, WiFi, and an onboard restroom is the right call when an entire grade is making the 70-mile run to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis.
Party buses, sprinter vans, and mid-size minibuses fill everything in between. Whatever your headcount, your destination, and your budget, you can compare the vehicles that actually fit — and find the right one fast.

Charter Buses to the Memphis Zoo and National Civil Rights Museum
Find exactly what your group needs for the most popular out-of-region field trip from Jonesboro — the 70-mile run east on I-555 and I-55 to Memphis, Tennessee! The Memphis Zoo (2000 Prentiss Pl, Memphis, TN 38112) and the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel (450 Mulberry St, Memphis, TN 38103) are the two most common Jonesboro-area school day trips, and a full-size charter bus keeps every student and chaperone together for the whole run. With reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, and an onboard restroom, a 56-passenger motorcoach makes the approximately 1-hour-15-minute drive comfortable in both directions.

Your bus unloads at the Memphis Zoo's front-gate parking area, then parks free on North Parkway instead of occupying the five-minute loading curb; the official Memphis Zoo field-trip page also requires school-trip payment at least two weeks before arrival. That keeps your charter bus out of the way while the class heads inside and gives you a clear pickup plan after the visit.
For the National Civil Rights Museum, groups of 20 or more need reservations at least two weeks ahead, and each time slot is limited to 60 guests; the National Civil Rights Museum group-visit page includes the reservation requirements. Your bus keeps the class together for the downtown arrival while the museum visit is scheduled around a real entry window.
Buses to Crowley's Ridge Nature Center and Arkansas State University
Get your Jonesboro-area students to the two most popular local field trip destinations without the headache of coordinating parent carpools! The Crowley's Ridge Nature Center (600 E Lawson Rd, Jonesboro, AR 72404) has designated group parking and bus drop-off right on E Lawson Road — a short, easy approach for any size bus. The Arkansas State University campus in adjacent State University is the go-to for college preview trips and enrichment visits, with the ASU Museum (110 Cooley Dr, State University, AR 72467) and the Bradbury Art Museum (120 W Hemingway Blvd, State University, AR 72467) both welcoming school groups.

Groups of 25 or more can schedule a visit at Crowley's Ridge Nature Center through 870-933-6787, and the center's public hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; the AGFC Crowley's Ridge Nature Center page also notes that there is no parking directly in front of the entrance, mailbox, or prairie gate. Your bus arrives during the open window, unloads where visitors can reach the center, and avoids the restricted frontage.
Jonesboro Field Trip Buses to Little Rock's Museums and State Capitol
Jonesborocharterbusservices.com is the go-to for Jonesboro schools planning the longer run southwest to Little Rock — approximately 130 miles down US-67/US-167, about 2 hours each way! A full-size 56-passenger charter bus with an onboard restroom and undercarriage luggage bays makes the longer haul comfortable, keeping students together and on schedule for packed itineraries that combine the Museum of Discovery (500 President Clinton Ave, Little Rock, AR 72201), the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site (2120 W Daisy L Gatson Bates Dr, Little Rock, AR 72202), and the Arkansas State Capitol (500 Woodlane St, Little Rock, AR 72201) in a single day. Compare available vehicles and pricing through the online quote tool, or call 870-393-0188 to build a custom Little Rock package for your group!
Transportation to the Johnny Cash Boyhood Home in Dyess, Arkansas
Give your middle school and high school students a one-of-a-kind Arkansas history experience with a field trip to the Johnny Cash Boyhood Home (100 Center Dr, Dyess, AR 72330) — managed by Arkansas State University and located about 65 miles west of Jonesboro. The site requires advance group reservations (call the venue directly at (870) 764-2274 to arrange your visit), and a charter bus is the right way to move your group across the flat Delta roads of Mississippi County for the approximately 1-hour drive. A 25- to 35-passenger minibus works well for smaller groups, while a full-size charter bus handles an entire grade.
Compare available buses for your date through the online form, or call 870-393-0188 for a free quote and help putting together a custom Dyess itinerary!
Your bus checks in at the Dyess Colony Visitors Center at 110 Center Drive, reached from I-55 North by taking Exit 41, turning onto State Highway 14W, then continuing five miles to Highway 297; the A-State Johnny Cash Boyhood Home visit page also notes that restrooms are available at the Visitor Center but not at the Boyhood Home. That gives your class a clear arrival point and one important stop-before-the-tour detail.
