A Group Travel Guide to Sunrise, Florida's Best Destinations

Located just minutes from the beaches of Fort Lauderdale and right on the edge of the majestic Everglades, Sunrise, Florida, is a vibrant hub for shopping, sports, and outdoor adventure. Whether you are planning a massive corporate retreat, a family reunion, a school field trip, or a fan excursion to a hockey game, Sunrise offers a diverse array of attractions that cater to every interest. But navigating South Florida traffic—especially on I-595 or the Sawgrass Expressway—can be a challenge when you are coordinating a caravan of cars. That is why Charter Bus Sunrise is here to streamline your journey.

We provide comfortable, climate-controlled buses ranging from 18-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger motorcoaches, ensuring your group stays together, arrives on time, and enjoys the journey as much as the destination.

Amerant Bank Arena

If you are a sports fan or a music lover, the Amerant Bank Arena (formerly the BB&T Center and FLA Live Arena) is likely at the top of your Sunrise itinerary. As the home of the NHL's Florida Panthers, this massive venue draws thousands of fans for high-stakes hockey games. It is also the region's premier stop for touring superstars, hosting concerts for artists ranging from Elton John to Harry Styles. For groups, the arena experience is electric, but the parking situation can be daunting. General parking can be expensive and often requires a long walk to the gates.

By renting a charter bus for your sporting event or concert, you eliminate the parking headache entirely. Your driver can drop your group off right near the entrance, allowing you to head straight for the turnstiles while we handle the bus parking. If you are tailgating, a charter bus offers ample undercarriage storage for coolers, grills, and folding chairs. Plus, after a night of cheering (and maybe a few beers), you have a built-in designated driver to ensure everyone gets home comfortably.

Sawgrass Mills

For shopaholics, Sawgrass Mills isn't just a mall; it's a pilgrimage site. As the largest outlet and value retail shopping destination in the United States, it features more than 350 stores, including The Colonnade Outlets with luxury brands like Gucci, Prada, and Versace. People travel from all over the world to shop here, which means the parking lots are notoriously crowded and vast. Trying to coordinate a meet-up spot with a dozen different cars can turn a fun shopping spree into a logistical nightmare.

A private charter bus rental is the ultimate hack for conquering Sawgrass Mills. We can drop your group off at a designated entrance and pick you up at a specific time, saving you miles of walking to and from the car. More importantly, our full-size charter buses feature spacious luggage bays under the bus. This means your group can shop 'til you drop without worrying about trunk space. Whether you are a tour group from out of state or a local group of friends on a holiday shopping mission, we provide the storage and comfort you need to enjoy this retail giant.

Markham Park & Target Range

Located on the edge of the Everglades Conservation Area, Markham Park is a sprawling 669-acre oasis for outdoor enthusiasts. It is a fantastic destination for corporate team-building events, boy scout troops, and active family reunions. The park features a world-class outdoor target range, 10+ miles of mountain bike trails, a model airplane field, and a radio-controlled car track. It also has a campground and plenty of pavilions for picnics.

Transporting mountain bikes, shooting gear, or camping equipment requires serious space—space that a convoy of sedans just doesn't have. When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Sunrise, you can utilize the undercarriage storage to safely stow all your heavy gear. Your group can relax in air-conditioned comfort after a long day in the Florida sun, using the onboard WiFi to share photos of the day's adventures. We can shuttle you directly to your reserved pavilion or the trailhead, making logistics a breeze.

Sunrise Civic Center

The Sunrise Civic Center is the cultural and recreational heartbeat of the city. This complex includes an intimate 296-seat theatre, an art gallery, an athletic club, and an aquatics complex with a 50-meter pool and a kids' wading pool. It is a popular destination for school field trips, senior community outings, and summer camp groups. The theatre hosts everything from local dance recitals to professional musical performances.

Booking a school bus or a charter bus for a trip to the Civic Center ensures that your students or seniors travel in comfort. Unlike standard yellow school buses, our charter rentals can come equipped with seatbelts, DVD players for entertainment, and onboard restrooms, which are a lifesaver when traveling with children or seniors. We can coordinate with the Civic Center staff for seamless drop-off and pickup, ensuring your group arrives with plenty of time to find their seats before the curtain rises.

Flamingo Gardens

While technically located just across the border in Davie, Flamingo Gardens is a staple for anyone visiting the Sunrise area. This 60-acre botanical garden and Everglades wildlife sanctuary offers a glimpse into the natural beauty of Florida. It features over 3,000 species of rare and exotic plants and is home to the largest collection of Florida native wildlife, including alligators, bobcats, panthers, and, of course, flamingos. It is an educational goldmine for STEM field trips and a beautiful backdrop for wedding photos.

Charter Bus Sunrise frequently transports school groups and private tour groups to this lush sanctuary. Navigating the roads around the gardens is much easier when you leave the driving to a driver. Your group can enjoy a narrated tram tour through the tropical rainforest and wetlands without worrying about the heat, knowing that a cool, comfortable bus is waiting to take them to their next destination or lunch spot.

The Bridges at Springtree Golf Club

For corporate groups or bachelor parties looking to hit the links, The Bridges at Springtree Golf Club offers a challenging yet accessible course right in the heart of Sunrise. This par-62 executive course is known for its well-manicured greens and scenic water hazards. It’s a great spot for a relaxing morning or afternoon outing without the intensity of a championship-length course.

Golf bags are bulky and difficult to fit into rideshares. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Sunrise is the perfect solution for golf outings. We offer vehicles with ample storage space for clubs and shoes. Your group can enjoy drinks at the clubhouse after the round without worrying about driving, as your personal chauffeur will be ready to shuttle you to a local steakhouse or back to your hotel whenever you are ready.

Rebounderz Sunrise

If you are planning a birthday party, a youth group event, or a summer camp excursion, Rebounderz in Sunrise is a high-energy destination that kids (and active adults) love. This extreme fun center features wall-to-wall trampolines, a ninja warrior course, a massive jump tower, and an arcade. It is the perfect place to burn off energy, but wrangling a large group of excited kids in a parking lot can be stressful.

Let Charter Bus Sunrise handle the transportation so you can focus on the headcounts and waivers. The drivers prioritize comfort above all else. We can pick up your group from a school, church, or community center and drop you right at the front door. On the way home, the kids can relax and watch a movie on the onboard TV monitors while the chaperones enjoy a quiet, stress-free ride back.

Splash Adventure Water Park

Located within Cypress Preserve Park, Splash Adventure is a family-favorite destination for cooling off during the hot Florida summers. While it isn't a massive theme park, this interactive water playground offers slides, tunnels, and water jets that provide hours of entertainment for younger children. It is a frequent destination for daycares and elementary school end-of-year parties.

When transporting young children, comfort and organization are paramount. A private charter bus allows teachers and caregivers to keep everyone contained in one vehicle, reducing the risk of separation. Plus, after a long day in the sun and water, there is nothing better than stepping onto a bus with powerful air-conditioning. We can accommodate groups of any size, ensuring that even the largest summer camps have a reliable ride to the water park.
