A Group Travel Guide to Hattiesburg, Mississippi's Best Destinations

The Hattiesburg Zoo

For groups traveling with children, students, or just the young at heart, the Hattiesburg Zoo is a must-visit destination. Located within Kamper Park, this attraction has grown significantly in recent years and offers far more than your average animal encounters. Your group can explore the Wallaby Walkabout, see the majestic Jaguar, or cool off at the Splash Pad during those hot Mississippi summers. For a unique experience, schedule a time for your group to tackle the High Ropes Adventure Course, which is fantastic for team-building outings. Transportation for school field trips is our specialty, and upgrading from a yellow school bus to a charter bus rental ensures your students and chaperones arrive cool and comfortable. Your driver can drop your group right at the main entrance at 107 S 17th Ave, Hattiesburg, MS 39401, sparing you the trouble of finding parking for multiple vehicles during busy weekends or special events like "Zoo Boo." After a day of exploring, everyone can nap in the air-conditioned cabin on the way home.

The Longleaf Trace

Outdoor enthusiasts flock to the Longleaf Trace, and it is a prime destination for active groups, scout troops, or cycling clubs. This pristine 44-mile running, biking, and equestrian trail stretches from Hattiesburg all the way to Prentiss, Mississippi. It is the state's premier rails-to-trails conversion and offers a beautiful, paved canopy of trees that showcases the Pine Belt's natural beauty. If you are organizing a cycling group or a marathon training run, a charter bus rental is the ultimate logistical hack. Our full-size charter buses offer massive undercarriage storage bays, perfect for stowing bicycles, coolers, and hiking gear. You can have your bus driver drop your group at the Hattiesburg Gateway at 2895 W 4th St, Hattiesburg, MS 39401, and then meet you at a designated mile marker or pick-up point further down the trail. This flexibility allows you to enjoy a one-way adventure without the hassle of looping back for vehicles.

Mississippi Armed Forces Museum at Camp Shelby

Hattiesburg has deep military roots, and nowhere is this more evident than at the Mississippi Armed Forces Museum located at Camp Shelby. This is an incredibly moving and educational destination for veteran reunions, ROTC groups, and history classes. The museum honors the service and sacrifices of Mississippi's servicemen and women from the War of 1812 through modern conflicts. Your group can walk through immersive exhibits, including a World War I trench recreation and a Vietnam War jungle scene. Because Camp Shelby is an active military installation located about 12 miles south of downtown, arranging group transportation is essential. Charter Bus Rental Company Hattiesburg frequently assists military groups and schools with transportation to the museum at Building 850, Camp Shelby, MS 39407. The drivers are punctual, ensuring your group arrives with plenty of time to explore the indoor exhibits and the outdoor Medal of Honor park. With a private bus, you can also easily combine this visit with a lunch stop at a local Hattiesburg favorite on the way back to the city.

Historic Downtown Hattiesburg & The Pocket Museum

If your group loves art, food, and history, a trip to Historic Downtown Hattiesburg is non-negotiable. The area has undergone a massive revitalization and is now the cultural heartbeat of the city. One of the most unique stops for a group tour is the Hattiesburg Pocket Museum—Mississippi's tiniest museum! Located in an alleyway, it features rotating miniature exhibits that are sure to delight. While the museum is small, the surrounding area is packed with public art, including the massive murals on the sides of historic buildings that make for perfect group photo ops. Navigating downtown streets and finding parking for ten different cars can be a nightmare, especially on Friday nights or during festivals like HubFest. When you rent a minibus from Charter Bus Rental Company Hattiesburg, your driver can drop you off right near the Saenger Theater or the alley entrance at 201 Forrest St, Hattiesburg, MS 39401. Your group can explore the shops, grab a burger at a local eatery, and hop back on the bus when you are ready to move to the next location.

University of Southern Mississippi (USM)

To the top! Whether you are a group of prospective students touring the campus, an alumni association coming back for homecoming, or a sports team competing against the Golden Eagles, the University of Southern Mississippi is a central hub of activity. The campus is beautiful, known for its rose gardens and the All-American Drive. For sports fans, nothing beats game day at M.M. Roberts Stadium, affectionately known as "The Rock." However, game day traffic in Hattiesburg can be gridlocked. A charter bus rental is the best way to handle sporting event transportation. We can transport your entire fan club or team to the stadium at 118 College Dr, Hattiesburg, MS 39406. With a private bus, you have plenty of room for tailgating supplies, flags, and face paint. Plus, if you are an opposing team, our buses offer ample storage for equipment bags and uniforms, ensuring your players arrive rested and focused on the game, not the cramped car ride.

Paul B. Johnson State Park

Located just a short drive south of the city limits, Paul B. Johnson State Park is a fantastic destination for church groups, family reunions, and corporate picnics looking to escape the hustle and bustle. The park features the 225-acre Geiger Lake, offering fishing, swimming, and boating opportunities. It is the perfect spot for a large group cookout under the pavilions. Transporting a large group to a state park often involves coordinating directions and hoping no one loses cell service on the back roads. With Charter Bus Rental Company Hattiesburg, your group stays together. We can pick you up from a central location in Hattiesburg and shuttle you directly to the park entrance at 319 Geiger Lake Rd, Hattiesburg, MS 39401. Our buses come with comfortable amenities like reclining seats and onboard restrooms, which are particularly convenient when traveling with children or seniors to outdoor locations.

African American Military History Museum

Housed in the historic East Sixth Street USO Club, which served African American soldiers stationed at Camp Shelby during World War II, this museum is a vital educational stop. It is the only remaining USO club of its kind in the United States and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum offers a poignant look at the contributions of African American soldiers throughout U.S. history. This is an excellent destination for civic groups, history clubs, and educational field trips. Because it is located in a historic residential neighborhood, parking a fleet of cars can be disrespectful to residents and logistically difficult. A charter bus rental solves this instantly. We can drop your group at the front steps at 305 E 6th St, Hattiesburg, MS 39401. Inside the bus, you can utilize the PA system to give your group a primer on the history they are about to see or debrief after the tour while heading to lunch.

Hattiesburg Saenger Theater

For a touch of elegance and culture, plan a group evening at the historic Hattiesburg Saenger Theater. Built in 1929, this Art Deco gem is one of the few remaining movie palaces in the South and hosts everything from Broadway plays and symphony concerts to classic movie nights. If you are organizing a trip for a senior center, a corporate gala, or a large social club, the Saenger is a prime destination. Formal events often require formal transportation. Arriving in a sleek charter bus adds a VIP touch to your evening. Your driver can provide curb-side service at 201 Forrest St, Hattiesburg, MS 39401, allowing your guests to avoid walking long distances in heels or dress shoes. After the show, your bus will be warm (or cool!) and waiting to take everyone comfortably home or to a post-show dinner, ensuring the magic of the evening isn't ruined by the stress of finding your car in a dark parking garage.
