For bigger trips to destinations like Thomas Edison National Historical Park (211 Main St, West Orange, NJ 07052) or New Jersey State Museum (205 W State St, Trenton, NJ 08608), a full 56-passenger charter bus with reclining seats, overhead storage, climate control, WiFi, and undercarriage luggage bays keeps every student and chaperone comfortable for the whole ride.

Plan Your Hillsborough Field Trip to Duke Farms and Local Destinations
Hillsboroughcharterbuscompany.com connects you to buses perfectly suited for Hillsborough's most convenient field trip destination — Duke Farms (1112 Duke Pkwy W, Hillsborough, NJ 08844) — right in your own backyard! This 2,740-acre estate offers environmental education programs for school groups, with bus drop-off at the main entrance on Duke Pkwy W and designated bus parking on site. Advance reservations are required for school programs, and admission is always free.
Because Duke Farms is just 5 to 10 minutes from most Hillsborough schools, even a 15-passenger minibus makes a great fit for smaller class trips. For larger groups visiting Grounds For Sculpture (80 Sculptors Way, Hamilton, NJ 08619) about 30 minutes south, a full motorcoach gives everyone room to spread out.

The bus drop-off loop is on Jersey City Blvd at the north entrance, with bus parking in the adjacent lot — advance group reservations are required, so plan ahead.
The drive from Hillsborough runs approximately 55 to 70 minutes via I-287 north to the NJ Turnpike, so build in buffer time during morning rush hours between 7 and 9 am. A 56-passenger charter bus with WiFi and reclining seats makes that ride easy for students and chaperones alike. Get your quote at 609-455-5205!
Charter Buses to Morven Museum, Monmouth Battlefield, and Central NJ History Sites

Monmouth Battlefield is about 40 to 45 minutes east of Hillsborough via Route 206 south to Route 33 east, with bus parking available in the main lot off Route 33 at no advance reservation required — though group programs do need to be booked ahead. Morven is just 25 minutes away in Princeton, with buses unloading at the Stockton Street entrance and staging on nearby streets.

Book End-of-Year Trips to Six Flags and Seasonal Destinations

Six Flags has a dedicated bus and motorcoach parking lot — just follow the “Bus Parking” signs from the main entrance on Six Flags Blvd. Buses pay a separate parking fee, so budget for that when planning the trip. A full 56-passenger charter bus with undercarriage luggage bays, climate control, and onboard restroom is the smart call for a full-day trip with a large group.
Because end-of-year dates fill fast across all of Somerset County, book as early as possible — call 609-455-5205 to lock in your date!

For most field trips, booking four to eight weeks in advance gives you the best vehicle selection and pricing. End-of-year trips to destinations like Six Flags Great Adventure in May and June are the most competitive dates across all of Somerset County — those should be booked three to four months out. Spring field trip season in April and May fills fast across the Hillsborough Township Public Schools calendar, so the earlier you compare and book, the better your options!
It depends on your headcount! A single classroom of 20 to 25 students plus chaperones fits well in a 25- to 35-passenger minibus, which is also nimble enough for destinations with tighter bus staging like Morven Museum in Princeton. A full grade-level trip to Liberty Science Center or Six Flags calls for one or more 56-passenger motorcoaches with undercarriage luggage bays and onboard restrooms.
Enter your passenger count in the quote form and the results page shows you the right fits!
Yes! ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair ramps and wider aisle configurations are available through the network of independent operators serving Hillsborough. Just mention your accessibility needs when you fill out the online quote form or when you call 609-455-5205, and the results will reflect operators equipped to accommodate your students.
It's always best to specify this early so the right vehicle is confirmed for your date.
Yes. New Jersey schools contracting a bus for a field trip must use a carrier that meets New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission commercial bus requirements, including proper vehicle inspection and registration, and operators must carry appropriate insurance. The independent transportation companies in the network serving Hillsborough operate in compliance with New Jersey requirements — but always confirm your operator's credentials directly when you book through the national booking platform.
