Tigard Party Bus Rentals

The Oregon Zoo is one of the most popular attractions in Portland, drawing over a million visitors each year—and for good reason. Located in Washington Park, the zoo is home to more than 2,600 animals representing 215 species, including elephants, lions, polar bears, and orangutans. Recent renovations have transformed the zoo into a world-class facility with state-of-the-art habitats like Elephant Lands, Polar Passage, and Primate Forest.

Getting to the zoo isn’t always easy, though. Parking is extremely limited—especially on weekends, holidays, and days with nice weather. The main lot often fills up by mid-morning, forcing drivers to circle for spaces or park far away on neighborhood streets. While the MAX light rail does stop at the zoo, it can be inconvenient for large groups, families with small children, or anyone carrying coolers and picnic supplies.

A party bus solves all of these problems by dropping your group off right at the entrance and eliminating the need to carpool or rely on public transit. You’ll have a comfortable place to store backpacks and snacks during your visit, and everyone can relax together on the ride home after a long day of walking around the exhibits.

Pittock Mansion is a historic house museum in Portland that offers stunning views of the city skyline and Mount Hood. Built in 1914 for newspaper publisher Henry Pittock, the mansion features beautiful architecture, period furnishings, and landscaped gardens that are especially popular during the spring rose bloom.

Visitors reach Pittock Mansion by driving up narrow, winding roads through the West Hills—routes that can become congested during peak tourist season or special events. On-site parking is limited to a small lot that fills quickly, leaving late arrivals to hike uphill from distant street parking.

When you book a party bus to Pittock Mansion, you get dropped off at the front gate without having to navigate tight hillside roads or search for a rare parking spot. Your driver handles the steep terrain while your group enjoys the scenery from panoramic windows. After touring the mansion and grounds, everyone can unwind with drinks and music on the way back downtown.

Washington Park is one of Portland’s signature destinations, encompassing major attractions like the Oregon Zoo, Portland Japanese Garden, International Rose Test Garden, Hoyt Arboretum, and several museums. With so much to see and do, it’s easy to spend an entire day—or even a weekend—exploring the park’s many trails, gardens, and cultural sites.

However, Washington Park’s popularity comes with significant transportation challenges. The park’s internal road system is confusing to navigate, especially for first-time visitors, and parking lots routinely fill to capacity during busy periods. The city operates a free shuttle bus connecting different areas of the park, but it can be slow and crowded when demand is high.

Renting a party bus gives your group direct access to every corner of Washington Park without having to move cars or wait for the shuttle. Your driver can drop passengers off at each attraction in sequence while others relax onboard with air conditioning, comfortable seating, and entertainment options. It’s the most convenient way to experience everything the park has to offer in a single trip.

Hoyt Arboretum is a living museum of trees located within Washington Park, featuring 12 miles of hiking trails and more than 2,300 species of plants from around the world. It’s a favorite destination for nature lovers, birdwatchers, and anyone looking to escape the city without leaving town.

The arboretum’s trailheads are scattered across hilly terrain with limited roadside parking. On weekends and sunny days, visitors often have to park far from their desired starting point and walk along narrow shoulders shared with passing vehicles.

A party bus provides centralized transportation for hiking clubs, school groups, or corporate outings heading to Hoyt Arboretum. Your driver can drop everyone off together at the main visitor center or any specific trailhead, ensuring that the group stays synchronized on timing and logistics. There’s plenty of storage space onboard for backpacks, picnic coolers, and extra layers of clothing.

Laurelhurst Park is a beloved green space in Southeast Portland known for its picturesque pond, towering trees, and wide lawns perfect for picnics and pickup sports. The park hosts frequent community events such as outdoor concerts, movie nights, and neighborhood festivals that draw large crowds from across the city.

Street parking around Laurelhurst Park is scarce even on ordinary days, and special events can make it nearly impossible to get you a spot within reasonable walking distance. Residential permit zones and strict time limits add to the difficulty for out-of-town visitors.

Arriving by party bus eliminates the hassle of competing for curbside parking in crowded neighborhoods. Your group will be dropped off directly adjacent to the park entrances and picked up again at a prearranged time. This convenience makes it feasible to attend popular events or organize large gatherings without worrying about transportation logistics.

Mount Tabor Park is built on an extinct volcanic cinder cone and offers some of the best panoramic views of downtown Portland and the Cascade Mountains. The park features wooded trails, open fields, basketball and tennis courts, and a playground—making it a versatile destination for hikers, athletes, and families alike.

Access roads wind steeply up the sides of Mount Tabor, and summit parking is extremely limited. During the annual Mount Tabor Concert Series or other special events, authorities may close certain roads to private vehicles entirely.

By renting a party bus, your group can travel together to the top of Mount Tabor without having to climb steep grades on foot or compete for scarce parking spots. The bus serves as a mobile base camp where attendees can rest between activities, change clothes, or recharge electronic devices. It’s an ideal solution for both casual visits and organized events at the park.

The Portland Japanese Garden is widely regarded as one of the most authentic Japanese gardens outside of Japan itself. Located on a hillside within Washington Park, the garden features meticulously landscaped ponds, bridges, tea houses, and stone lanterns that reflect traditional Japanese aesthetics.

Visiting the garden poses many of the same transportation challenges as other Washington Park attractions: limited parking, confusing road layouts, and reliance on slow park shuttles. The steep approach road can also be difficult for inexperienced drivers to navigate, especially in wet weather.

A party bus allows cultural organizations, tour groups, or wedding parties to visit the Portland Japanese Garden without dealing with any of these obstacles. Passengers are dropped off at the garden entrance ready to appreciate the serene environment, and picked up afterward for a relaxing ride home through the forested hills.

Tom McCall Waterfront Park runs along the west bank of the Willamette River in downtown Portland and serves as the city’s primary venue for large-scale public events. Major festivals held here include the Portland Rose Festival, Oregon Brewers Festival, Waterfront Blues Festival, and Fourth of July fireworks.

Event attendance regularly exceeds 50,000 people per day, overwhelming downtown parking structures and causing gridlock on surrounding streets. Light rail and bus service are available but become packed to standing-room-only conditions during peak hours.

Chartering a party bus to Waterfront Park lets your group bypass the worst of event-day congestion by using designated drop-off zones near the festival entrances. The bus provides secure storage for coolers, chairs, and rain gear during the event, and offers a comfortable place to rest on the journey home. It’s the best way to attend major waterfront festivals without getting caught in post-concert chaos.

The Museum of the Oregon Territory sits atop a bluff overlooking Willamette Falls in Oregon City, offering exhibits on regional history and breathtaking views of the second-largest waterfall by volume in the United States. The museum is a key stop on heritage tours exploring the end of the Oregon Trail and early pioneer settlements.

Reaching the museum requires a 30-minute drive from Portland via Interstate 205, followed by navigation through Oregon City’s complex one-way street grid. Onsite parking is adequate for normal visitation but insufficient for large tour buses or multiple school groups arriving simultaneously.

When you book a party bus to the Museum of the Oregon Territory, you’ll appreciate having professional transportation handle the freeway interchange between I-5 and I-205, as well as the tricky exit ramps leading into Oregon City. The bus keeps students or tourists together on a tight schedule, and offers a relaxing ride back to Portland after a day of educational sightseeing.

OMSI is one of the nation’s leading science centers, featuring interactive exhibits, a planetarium, a submarine tour, and an IMAX theater. It’s a top destination for school field trips, birthday parties, and family outings.

Located on the east bank of the Willamette River, OMSI has a limited parking lot that fills up quickly on weekends and during special events. Overflow parking is available but may require crossing busy streets with children in tow.

A party bus solves the transportation dilemma by dropping your group off at the main entrance and providing a central meeting point at the end of the visit. You can even continue the learning experience on board with videos or games related to the museum exhibits.
