Take Your Class to the Perot Museum, Dallas Arboretum, and More!
Whether your Garland students are exploring the dinosaur hall at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science (2201 N Field St, Dallas, TX 75201), learning about ecosystems at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden — just minutes from Garland's western edge — or experiencing living history at Dallas Heritage Village (1515 S Harwood St, Dallas, TX 75215), a charter bus keeps every student together and on schedule. Buses use 1100 McKinney Avenue for Perot Museum parking before re-entering via River Street to load at Lot A, drop off at the Arboretum's main entrance on Garland Road, and drop off at Heritage Village on Harwood Street — so your group arrives organized and ready to learn. The Perot Museum's on-site bus parking is unavailable during construction, so your bus skips the museum curb and uses the off-site lot instead; see the Perot Museum group visit instructions for the current bus route. Garlandcoachbuscompany.com makes comparing buses for any of these trips fast and easy.
